Hi.. has anyone been using PROTECH shuttlecocks?? can advise on its durability... please... and where to get them in spore cheap?? many thanks
Hi chorlaw, Protech shuttles, those selling in Spore and bearing the "Singapore" red colour trademark at the shuttle tubes are generally quite good....good durability and nice flight. However for PT-10 (Black colour), while the feathers are more durable than AS40...the corks are made of lower quality. Always feel soft when halfway thru a game...or sometimes become really out of shape after some hard smashes. Dats also when the shuttle's path will be irregular and slows down alot. Its like multi-layered compound cork..which u can feel when after the corks sustained a few hard smashes and damaged. FYI, its selling at S$23 at Classic Sports (TPY Safra) The best Protech shuttle i had used is the Protech Tournament. (Green colour and also bearing the red colour "Spore" trademark) Its very much more durable compared to PT-10 and AS40 and flight is very good....quality is comparable to AS50. This is a top quality shuttle man.... one of the best i had played with. FYI, its selling S$26 at Classic too.... As for other places prices..let others elaborate...coz i not so sure. kekeke
PT 10 and Tournament can also be found at 10n10 at Bras Basah Complex and the certain shop ( not the sports equipment one) at hougang sports hall.. but if u buy PT10 from the latter , make sure they dun overcharge u, always stick to the $23-24 mark... There are occassions where the seller charge a higher price for unfamiliar faces...
