    is light shuttlecock a bad choice? bcoz i think that liking a shuttle is depending on the user liking and expectations. :)

    a light shuttlecock can be used depending on climate you are playing in.

    There is more to this but, just to simplify things.

    Hot = light
    Cold = heavy

    totally agree with you. i tried a ProAce aero tech 75 and the shuttle flies 3 feet beyond the baseline when i'm doing clears.

    is shuttle with speed 76 considered light shuttle? becoz a friend of mine who were a shuttle tester said it is light, but the label stated 76.

    can you determine the speed by looking at it?

    A friend came back from vacation in the Philippines one time with a tube of 75 speed RSL shuttles. Just for giggles, we used them in a game of doubles during the winter. Suddenly everyone had amazingly great smashes and everyone could do baseline clears with their backhands. :D
