    Hello guys,

    I need comparison/review for these shuttles:
    - rsl ace
    - rsl no.1
    - king 707

    I've never use any of them. I'm planning to switch from victor tourney (blue) to either one of them, depend on the feedback and cost advantage. victor is expensive and with the rate I'm using them I'm shelling out a lot of money quickly. I'm not considering sealion C1101 since the tube I had most of them are always on the fast side for my gym (heated during winter and was using spd 77), and they're not that cheap either.

    I'm planning to buy about 10 tubes to start with from RSM (racquet sport montreal) online shop. maybe I should mixed my order...:) or from which ever store takes canadian dollar....(I gotta setup my paypal again to have US$ account and it could take a while)

    and if you guys know what speed is for what temperature it would help too. I've seen one written on the side of victor tourney No. 1. but I don't have it anymore and completely forgot about it.

    The only shuttle listed above that will compare with the Victor Tourney No. 1 (VT1) is the RSL Tourney No. 1 (RT1). The current King 707 is good bang for the buck but no where near the VT1 and RT1. The old King 707 (using goose feather) is much better than the current 707 (using Singaporean and Malaysian duck feather). The RSL Ace is good for the money but does not fly as consistent as the RT1 and VT1.

    Caveat: please note that I have seen a great disparity in shuttle quality at the low and medium price level. At the high level, very little difference in consistency; but I have seen inconsistent VT1. RT1 is more consistent.

    +1 for RT1

    seems to be the best performing and best bang for the buck in toronto.
