In mybadmintonstore.com, they offer both Hi-Qua Purple tubes and Hi-Qua Special Edition. These are the lower price shuttlecocks for duck feather (purple) and goose feather (special edition). Hi-Qua Purple http://www.mybadmintonstore.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=25_58_59_84&products_id=115 Hi-Qua Special Edition http://www.mybadmintonstore.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=25_58_59_83&products_id=810 I was wondering for those that have tried both tubes if they would prefer one over the other. I realize that there are better shuttlecocks, but I'm kind of on a budget. I'm considering ordering tubes of 5, but don't want to end up paying for 5 tubes that won't really satisfy me. Thanks in advance!
I have tried the hiqua purple before. Decent quality for its price. But, if you are looking for performance shuttles, you might want to stay away from the purple.
I've tried the Special Editions the past few weeks. They aren't as durable as the HiQua blues and flare quite easily. The flight is good but deteriorates halfway through the match. For the money, they are ok, just make sure dont mishit it.
they arnt much better but its worth the money. I just got victor golds at racket supply for 16. Those are really nice imo
I stand by the HQ-Blue. Been a great shuttle (used then for my annual tourney for many years) and a good price.
Do you buy them from mybadmintonstore or somewhere else? Any problems with paying duties? Thanks in advance
