    Hi Guys,

    I'm using Aeroplane GD-1130 or what I forgot. It is the black one. Retail sell for $20 something I got from Someone $15.00 but he can't sell many...

    I'm thinking of changing it with RSL classic. Is this any good ? I know Aeroplane is the best so far for me. but I want to know how bad is RSl Classic or RSl no1 Tourney compared to the aeroplane....

    How about Victor ...what is the good one???(not expensive though around $14-15)

    Thank you;););)

    Black aeroplane and RSL classic are very similar in quality and performance. RSL No.1 aren't as good as the other two.

    The new Victors are not very great. The quality is up and down. If you are lucky, you get decent ones, if not, well, totally waste of $$$. For $15, you should have better choices. ;)

    It really depends on the batch you get.

    What I know of is only Chaopai RED can compete with Aeroplane Black. Never tried RSL classic. RSL No1 is a little disappointed. Victor champion NO1 is good but for its price, I would go for Aeroplane Black or Chaopai Red.

    I prefer PROTECH masterpiece and PROTECH championship.

    The flight and speed is very consistent. But not many people seems to be using this brand.
    Especially in Australia....

    im currently using RSL classic ... the best shuttlecock and still affortable for me :D
    rsl no.1 speed is not consistent ... u will definitely feel the different when u compare classic and no.1
    rsl no.1 the speed will go slow after playing about 10 points .. u adjust ur power ... then when u change a new shuttlecock the speed will become fast back .. then u will easily hit the s/c out. hmmm .. hope u guys get wat i mean .. :p;)

    I just bought some pretty decent ones from new ebay store, http://stores.ebay.com/chi-chi-store.

    I bought the equivalent to Yonex AS 15 and Yonex AS 30. I got the equivalent AS 15 for $10.50 per tube and Yonex AS 30 $13 per tube, and i think it's quite worth it.
    but you have to email directly him and purchase 6+ tubes to get that prices.

    his email is chichistore@gmail.com.

    hope this helps
