    Oh ya, one more thing, anybody got any suggestions on what shuttles to use if a meet is planned? I know very little about these, like which is more suitable for normal, mid-level play. Shuttles that are not too expesive at the same time...

    I was thinking that if there are 2 courts, would 8 people be good, cause I was thinking not to have such a too big group. 8 people cause I'm like looking at continuous play in the 2 hrs, w short breaks. Any suggestions?

    Yes, there are a few players there which are very good...I'm fine with low to mid intermediate too. I'm not sure about Braddell Heights CC since I've not been there before but don't mind giving it a try.

    On the number of ppl, I think the max number per court can be around 6, so maybe a max of 12 for 2 courts should be ok. Still adjusting to the heat, so probably not able to go full 2 hours initially.

    you might want to consider,
    1) Paya Lebar Kovan CC (located near Kovan MRT, Opp MacDonalds/Heartland Mall),
    2) Hougang CC (located at junction Hougang Ave 2 & 3)
    3) Braddell Heights (as you mentioned)
    4) Hougang Sports Hall (it will be like a "gold-rush" booking)
    5) Hougang Primary Sch Hall
    6) maybe other bc members can help to suggest the location

    most of the players are pretty used to playing with the common ones available, like PT-10, Yonex A30/A40, Sea Lion, Aeroplane, RSL Gold/Green, Sintec ST818,etc. you can try it check out the price and try out, "ones man meat is another poison"......

    hope to hear from you soon. :)

    to be exact, actually, ashaways shuttles are like considered one of the higher end.
    If there is a game coming up, i could bring in shuttles from ashaway to let you guys try it.

    Try Ashaway International shuttlecock if you guys are into this brand. It costs between S$26-S$29 per tube. At least, I find it the best in their series. Of course, still cannot compare with other brand like Sintec 818 and Yonex. ;)

    As mention, sms him to confirm. I am just one of the players helping him to promote the game and the supplier for shuttlecocks. It is at 1-3pm at yio chu kang sport hall.
    See you there, sms HIM to ask him if there is any space or to just tell him that u are coming, so he can see who is coming. Cheers. see you tml
