Which shuttlecock brand is better?

[michael23]

How about Babolat?

I think Babolat shuttlecocks are manufactured by RSL.

still the older brands like sealion or aeroplane is more consistent over the years. New brands tend to fluctuate in quality. U'll see like some giving great reviews initially n it dies off. Hope this helps.

When we say older brands i guess RSL is the oldest one isn't it?

For me. Tested

Yonex AS 40 - Good shuttle, Excellen but too expensive
RSL Classic - Half of yonex price and same lasting, Excellen product
RSL No.1 - Cheaper than classic but doesn't last long as Classic
RSL No.2/ Silver Feather - Good, reasonable price.
Areoplane - EG1130, similar to RSL No.1
Sealion Gold - Good price, very lasting, but getting slower & slower after few hits

Would you say Aeroplane EG1130 is better or worse than RSL No.1 in terms of durability?

[radar_s]

For me, it's very hard to tell the difference inbetween EG1130 and No.1, but they also depending on the seasons.... I am using 78 Speed here in Melbourne.

not sure which is oldest, in msia sealion, aero, dunlop are famous like 30 years back. Rsl no 1 was good last year, kindof up n down. Now very quiet.Sealion still best in price/performance ratio.

Dont forget there's also YangYang 300B

Our group also played Aeroplane EG1130, SG1130, G1130, Yonex AS 30/40/50. RSL Classic and RSL #1 over the years

From what we see,

Aeroplane EG1130 - similiar to Yonex AS 50, but much better price. Way better than RSL #1.
Aeroplane SG1130 - similiar to Yonex AS 40 and RSL classic.
Aeroplane G1130 - similiar to Yonex AS 30 and RSL #1.

Hello,

I guess Aeroplane 1130 is a good product but it's still quite expensive even if the price is cheaper than yonex shuttles
Do you know other brand with a better rate quality / price?
What do you think about chaopai shuttles?
thks

It really depends. The EG1130 worked out for my group because it lasts at least 2 sets per shuttle (sometimes 3). My players are not adamant about fresh shuttles as long as the flight is okay. If your players demand a new shuttle for every game, a cheaper shuttle may work out better.

except yonex, aeroplane, rsl which brands do you advise me?

Depends on what's available in your area and the volume you consume. I only run a small group that is quite easy on shuttles so I need only 1+tube every month. Locally available shuttles are better for me but I relied on friends who frequently travel home to China to get shuttles for me.

I've tried RCL #1 which is really nice and heard good things about Sealion. Pro-tech (PT-10) used to be fantastic but has since deteriorated. ChaoPai is another really good brand if you can get your hands on the purple or red.

Chao Pai is excellent if you can get somewhere in SG for CP red or purple this 2 model, someone posting at forum may be you can check with that guy see whether can get it or not.
