    No need to get violent Mr. Panda, geez. What happened to the GENTLE Panda? :p
    I'm going to SGVBC Saturday night, meet me and you will get your shuttles.

    "poor, defensely panda"???? There must be more than one pandas running around then, cause the one I know sure don't fit that descirption. And what's mean "defensely"?
    If you can't make it, I'll drop it off if you are at your shop. Stop partying so much and lay off the bamboo margarita.

    sir, have u used tronex green or tronex gold? i think that if the durability of rsl #1 tourney is rated excellent, that of tronex green or gold should be excellent ++. the feathers are in good condition even when the cork is softened. amazing shuttle, hope u can get some and do a review,enjoy it.

    No, the durability of T1 is rated as "Good+".

    You guys are so spoiled living at sea level. More than half the shuttles you list don't fly right at my attittude and some brands don't even carry a speed slow enough for me to test.

    Great work.

    However, i think it's Yangyang 2000A, instead of 2000B. :rolleyes:

    its such a tease to see $14 and $13 dollar tubes that got great ratings that aren't available here in the states. I guess its a trade off, good pricing for stringing and bad pricing for shuttles :p

    Actually, in regards to the Yang Yang shuttles, they do have a 2000B model now. I think Badminton Alley sells them.

    In general, any expensive shuttle performs well.

    Of the best, I like high grade Aeroplane, Chao Pai, MMOA, RSL, Yang-Yang and Yonex shuttles.

    Dink,

    A quick question, do you steam the shuttles before you play with them for this review? tHanks

    Yonex AS-50 is still one of the best shuttles currently

    Hi DinkAlot,

    Yes... Yonex AS-50 is still one of the best shuttles currently.

    IMHO, it is very much overpriced, therefore its 'Bang For The Buck' could only be rated as 'Average'.

    Thank you for your review... there are many shuttles listed there that I have not tried yet. :):):)

    Cheers... chris@ccc

    How about DTL shuttles? I think they are good too, same manufacturer as RSL. Also, next time when you look to new brand to test, take a look at this. http://shuttlecocks.come4internet.com. I also put down there some comments from this forum users' reviews.

    Thanks for the great work.
