    You can get tournament grade feathers cheaper than these club/practice grade feathers. AS40 & 50's are better than/as good as most but other brands offer much better value and performance compared to the lower grade Yonex feathers. Try "RSL No2's" or "Ashaway Black 30's" for tourney grade feathers at about the same price as "Aerosensa 10's".

    AS20 aren't as good as RSL Tourney birds
    they break alot faster than the RSLs but on the other hand they do sound better
    but costs like 10CND more than RSL
    so if u wanna look cool with Yonex birds or u have the cash to spill then go for it.....

    Yeah....we use these at club for a lot of net training and they get battered! RSL Tourney birds are really good, I play with them at tournaments.

    duck feather is not the best choice you can go at the price you are probably paying for.

    Just one question..Why don't I see AS-15 at the Yonex website?
    I'm thinking this is rare?

    We use AS-15 at the moment in our club. They are OK, but we have a big problem with durability - mostly they just fall apart. So we are using approx 2 x as many shuttles as normal. We also find that they are very fast. I actually like the AS-15, but don't like their durability.

    Previous seasons we have used Forza 80, Level and Karakal Gold, all of which were much more durable. I have used some AS-20 they seem to be significantly more durable than AS-15.
