    Two of my friends going back to China/HK/Taiwan for vaction. I want them to bring some shuttle back for me. I've been reading some reviews, however, i am afraid that some information are out of date, and some did not really metion price.

    Here's the list of my initial approach, hope ppl can give me more suggestion (brand, model, price), if u only know the chinese name of certain brand, feel free, i can read chinese, too:

    1. Sea Lion (model???) - Feather (mainly in China)

    2. Victor Champion - Feather (should be available in all 3 places)

    3. Yonex Mavis 300/350 - Nylon (should be available in all 3 places)

    aeroplanes are nice, but only the top of the line.

    one brand quite popular in HK is the RSL. the top quality RSL goes for nearly HK$120 (~US$15) and the mid quality is around HK$100 (~US$12.5). the mid quality one is pretty good for my taste...

    I had some experiences with Victor Champion ans Sea Lion. I think Victor is superior in all aspects except price.

    Not Really!

    Kwun,

    Mr. Ng is selling RSL Tourney Classics for HKD 78.00/dozen at an unspecified quantity.

    Another person is selling the same shuttlecocks for the same price at any quantity.
