RSL Shuttle Price check

**shuennms** · 01-18-2009, 04:01 AM

Price really increased that fast, I used to buy RSL Tourney 1 at RM43 a year and half ago.

Hi Shuennms, how much you can get for RSL Rourney 1 now? Still below RM50 right?

**shuennms** · 01-18-2009, 07:42 PM

Not sure too ...yet to check. I will try to check when I am back to Ipoh this Friday. And I shall update you guys on the price.

Thanks. The best I can get from JB is RM47.5 per tube. The only problem is RSL tourney 1 is not so lasting. Sometimes we need 3-4 pieces in one game. But most of the time we can (have to) manage to complete one game (new score system) with one shuttle.

Tank2008, I have not tried Classic before, did you? How was it? Better in term of durability? And how much difference in price?

Not yet. But will try soon, as my friend helped buy a few tubes. He told me this last stock price is RM53. New batch will be RM58. As we talked on Sat at CCK SH, Sosan is pretty good in terms of price and durability.

Sosan could be good at first when its new, to enjoy more you need at least 1.5 to 2 shuttle per game as it will slow down after 0.7 of a game. We got it for S$25, fyi

Yes. This is about the price we got too. But the Sosan shuttle is still fine to play as long as not broken.

We just need to use more power on each shot. This is good to improve the power of shots. Haha...

Ya true ...but it created a disaster for us once we switched to Carlton AG 9.9, the birdie flies like rockets.... its hard to adjust our strokes at first, but after a while, tends to get used to it more.

I see. We used to use RSL tourney 1. We switch to Sosan recently and our players are happy with it, as more durable and its flight more stable. 2 pieces are surely enough for one game. This is the first time we didn't use up 1 tube for one court in 2 hours recently.

Another advantage is that when the shuttle is getting slower, weaker players will feel it difficult to play a good return shot. So we can use this to filter out real weak players.

Thanks for sharing. Shuttle price is increasing. I was told Sosan may increase price after CNY. If so, I have to switch back to RSL. The economy is still going down. As I talked to my friends, we have to cut down the times of play now to save money.

Hope the price is stable or a bit lower, so badminton game is not too expensive for every badminton lovers.

Our friends will surely dislike this Carlton 9.9.

Which is faster, compared it with Protech master piece or YY? So far we found Sosan, RSL classic and Proace are quite durable and price also reasonable, compared to Yonex.
