    Aerosensa 2 does exist so they can't be fake...I believe AS-2 are very fast due to their weight...

    i think the shuttles you got are quite old as the aeros used to be 1,2,3,4,5. now they just add a zero so its aeros 10,20,30,40,50... when i say old... i mean ollllldddd.

    However there are some fakes Yonex shuttles in the market. I can't remember which type. It definately don't last long.

    Hmm, I bought some Aerosensa 3s and 4s from S'pore last year and it only cost me about US$10-$11 dollars each tube(I think it was from a store in the Peninsula Shopping Complex)...Your price for 5 tubes is a bit more (about US$71, so about US$14 each tube)..
