Hi and nice to meet everybody here at Badminton Central. A great website indeed for badminton enthusiasts like myself. I'm currently residing in Sydney and I was wondering if anybody here knows where I can get Yonex AS-50 badminton shuttles. I'm using Aeroplane (Green) atm and despite some nice reviews about it, I find it not really good. Any shuttles that are really (really) good out there where I can get them in Sydney? Thanks in advance.
Aeroplane black EG-1130 are much nicer than the greens. There is guy on these forums who distributes aeroplane in aus so would be able to sort you out with these.
Thanks Darren. I've pm'ed him a couple of days ago but he hasn't replied me. Apparently Greater Badminton Association (GBA) of Aus told me that Yonex only imports AS-10 and AS-20 . I guess the demand must be quite low for AS-30,40 & 50.
Yeah, i guess so. I import my as-30's from hong kong for about $21 US a tube but they only have up to yonex speed 3 which is ok for summer here (NZ) but too slow for winter, probably be ok for sydney though. The Aeroplane EG-1130's i think go for about $20 (AUS) a tube so they are quite a bit cheaper than the yonexs. If you are having trouble getting in touch have a look here and use some of the contact details www.calibreaustralia.com
cool...i really need a good shuttlecock supplier as they charge AUD30-40/doz here for AS10s! checking the website now...
