I currently received my 50 tubes of RSL Tourney No.1's. I will do a review on them and hopefully post pics up soon. Probably in a week or so since I've been busy.
majority of players at the club i play uses the RSL Tourney No.1 however, I dislike them due its lack of durability. The flight is good not excellent and it dies quickly.
I dont own RSL tourney no.1 but im pretty sure the players do steam these shuttles. i have sotx, aeroplane... after steaming... sooo good.
Maybe you got a bad batch, I will know how the RSL Tourney No.1's in a few weeks, I'll try to post pics this weekend.
Azn_123 bought those 50 tubes from here: http://www.badmintonshoponline.us/unlimitshop/product_info.php?cPath=2_38&products_id=416
a bad batch? but shouldn't products be consistant? that's not an excuse. its like walking into a resturant and if theres knowledge that their food quality is not always same, would you trust?
I'm going to post some pics a bit later tonight, I'll keep you updated on the review, I'm still working on it.
Where do you store your shuttles? The way you hit the shuttlecock and also affect how long the shuttles will last. Steaming it will definately make the shuttle last longer as well.
Sorry, I didn't upload the pics yesterday, but here you go! The last picture made the shuttlecock look funny, sorry about the noob photography.
feathers looks alright. i should get my sample in the next few days before i order bulk. hmm the feathers seem flared? could it be the angle of the camera/zoom effect?
Probably the angle, post your thoughts about the shuttles when you give them a try, I haven't been playing with the shuttles that much, so far I must say they are very good.
Between my friend and I, we got 25 tubes. After steaming them for quite a bit, I believe the durability lasted at least 3-4 fold. (Well, my friend after all did leave them in his trunk for 3+ weeks, which is extremely bad, lol) I think the flight path is quite good and is worth it to get it. On average, I'd say a bird lasts me around 2 sets or more. However, I would still choose to use Victor Blues and RSL Classics over these birds.
I rather use the RSL Tourney No.1's or the RSL Classics than use the Victor Blues, I didn't quite like the Victor Blues.
The comparision with the Tourney No.1's weren't fair because you said your friend left then in his truck for 3+ weeks.
