My partner and I played at the SJSU tournament and we played these guys that were using Yonex 10's. They played terribly, I was mad, I didn't know if I should've went to the front desk and complained or what. I decided not to and just kept on playing. We ended up using our birds more and using theirs only once. We lost to a close match, I just lost my temper. What would you guys have done in my situation? Wouldn't you guys expect C players to use tournament grade shuttles? I mean I can understand new D players, but come on....
Re: Not using tournament birds at a tournament? Yo Rest of the thing is called "You must be crazy!" if anyone is wondering.
Re: Not using tournament birds at a tournament? Yo Some people can't afford the higher grade birds. If it was that big of a deal to you then use your birds and ask them to give you their birds to replace them. They may not be the best grade but at least you get something. Ti-10's are expensive though. Maybe they spent all their money on the racquets and couldn't afford good birds.
