Hi I am looking to buy some fast shuttlecocks. The red ones i believe? Can anyone advise where i can buy the cheapest oness from? Thanks
Um, this is akin to asking: "I'm looking to buy some fast cars... the red ones. Where can I get the cheapest ones?" At the very least, you need to flesh out your query with useful information. That could be a make or a model or a couple of reasons that led to your query. People here are willing to, and want to, help. But they can't unless they know what help you need
i believe those are codes that use long time ago the colour ring at the cock green = slow blue = average red = high speed nowadays, we use the term of 75, 76, 77, 78 etc....
i did not realise that.... i thought it was simply done in colours. i would not know what number we need. I would like the fastest and the cheapest...! Make/Model does not matter....! The reason is that we have run out of the 'red' shuttlecocks and it's my turn to buy! (hence why i want the cheapest! ) cheers
"i thought it was simply done in colours.".... azn 123 is correct - i was under the misapprehension that colours determine the speed... So, can anyone advise? cheers
The colours are, at best, a basic guide. It might help to go through these threads: 1. http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47866 2. http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18605 3. http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=56367 Also, are you using feather shuttlecocks or synthetic shuttlecocks? (Synthetic = nylon, not plastic)
Just select the highest number on the tube if you want the fastest. It can be 5,53 or 81 depending on which system is being used.
Thanks for responses - i will look a those threads But... where in general is a good place to buy these faster shuttlecocks!? thanks
Sorry for my ignorance but where is swindon? You might wanna check your local club pro shop maybe? Internet probably where most people buy their shuttle. There are few places that will give you discount on shipping if you buy a lot.
Swindon, England. We definitley dont have a pro badminton shop! else id be out there! We have sports shops like JJB and they do not sell the faster shuttles. Is there not a main website people use?
yes the main website here is www.centralsports.co.uk u can get all shuttles here.. but i would seriously advise against using plastic shuttles.. theyre not very good compared to feathers.. if you must use plastic, i would reccomend the yonex mavis 350. They come closest to performing like good feathers but still.. far off

Related to this. I just got some RSL tourney 1's. Ive bought them before and I like them. These ones seem slow. They have a 50 on the side. How does the number system work?
