    For some people,includes me,stocking shuttlecocks is a must.I can use like avg 3-4 shuttles/session.Not too many,since others will also distribute the shuttles.A dozen of shuttles wont last too long for me,since i play this game frequently.Almost everyday.So,it's neccesary for me to stock them.

    How about u?How many stocks of shuttles do u have now?How much is the avg price for a doz?How many shuttles would u spend per session?

    Mine,about 8 doz rite now.Not that much though..
    My avg price for a doz is around 5USD
    I would spend about 3-4 shuttles/session.

    How about u?

    lucky you! China has one of the cheapest market for shuttles in the world. Usually I will keep around 2 tubes, avg 15USD per doz. Each session i will use 4-5 shuttles, and i play 2x a week

    I'll normally have atleast two tubes of feathers in stock at home. Being a student, sometimes I find myself with no feathers for a while and being forced to use plastic.

    For members such as ants who purchases bulk, where do you purchase from? Also how much do you normally save versus buying 1 tube at a time?

    I just have 2 tubes in my bag. I use an average of 3 shuttles when I play with my friends since they also shell out shuttles of their own. However I only use 1 when I go to other courts that have "Queing."

    I use plastics mainly and therefore suffer lower attrition. I probably have 2 dozen plastics and half a dozen goose in stock most of the time. Purchase price per dozen tends to be about £10 +p&p.

    1) I have over a thousand of tubes of Chao Pai shuttles in stock. :D

    2) Average price depends on the grade: $12-$20/tube.

    3) Depends how many hours and who I play against. So anywhere from 2 - 24 shuttles.

    Since its for personal use.. i either buy it from normal shops or directly from the supplier. How much do i save? Well it really depends.. i save up from 5%-20%. I dont buy more than 200 tubes coz the shuttles might dry up if i keep too long. And i usually buy in bulk if that batch of shuttlecocks is good. Its not easy to get good shuttlecocks nowadays. And i dont only buy one brand, i buy few brands provided that batch meet my quality and expectation. All the shuttlecocks that i buy/use is the highest grade.

    Sure it's easy, just get one of the following and I'm confident you'll be OK with it:

    +Aeroplane EG1130 Black Label
    +Chao Pai Red
    +Chao Pai Purple
    +MMOA Super Select MS-950
    +MMOA Ultra Select
    +RSL Tourney Classic
    +Tai Lai 001
    +Yang Yang 300B
    +Yonex AS40
    +Yonex AS50
    +Yonex F90

    And if the above do not satisfy you, then you are just too picky. :p ;)
