Do note my review was done 8 years ago. I'm not too sure how the AS50 is compared to AS40 now as I haven't used AS50 for quite some time now.
confused guys I am really confused about the speed of the shuttle.Is there any standard?????when i started someone told me that very slow shuttle is used at inter-national level but later i found that it is not true.then i heard that a full-blooded, under-arm,fore-hand shot should reach the back-line for the doubles service, hit from the other side of the court. So can any one help me plz?????
Hi, The speed of the shuttle is dictated as per the laws of the game. You are right in the the rules (accepted laws of the IBF - now WBF - in 2006) states that a full, upward underhand stroke should land not less than 53cm short of, and not more than 99cm short of the base line. The speed variations are for use in halls where the speed will vary. For large , cold halls the speed will be slow, whereas for hot halls the speed will be fast. Humidity will also aeffect speed and flight. There are 2 speed values for shuttles. Yonex medium speed is '3', and other shuttles are '78' for medium speeds. 78 relates to the number of 'grains' or weight. the higer the number the faster the shuttle. each grain will add approx 4" in distance. There are 7000 grains for 1 lb. I always speed, 3 or 78. If shuyyles are too fast then I will 'tip' them. Yes previous postings are correct. AS-40's are a great shuttle, but a little fast. Hope this helps.
I been using Protech for sometime. I think it is good. you can get a tube for $29 at chau beng in queensway. Normally the feather won't break even after a full game but the speed will just slow down. You can give it a try
which model of Protech are you using? I used to have Protech PT-10 but it's extinct le. Cannot find it any where in Singapore.
yup i do find that PT-10 is really value for money plus it's a very good shuttle compare to AS-10. IMO i think only AS30++ can last longer than PT-10. Is it still sold at bras brasah? cost per tube? don't mind me asking, what is the colour of the tube or the model? serious? i went queensway recently and i never see leh. 2nd flr shops you refering to chau beng sports? or some other shops?
besides Queensway SC, it's also sold in Bras Brasah lvl 1. the yonex shop. Thou the price is 30 per tube thou!
U Can Find The Pt -10 In Chau Beng, Hello Sports,gala Sports.newlink Sports Plus A Few Others In Queenway..there R So Many Shops Carrying This ,strange Tat U Hav Missed It.
yup, strange that i have missed it. bought mine at chau beng in the end, with a good price i suppose. however queensway sc kinda farfor me as i live in the east! imagine travelling 2 hrs there to buy shuttles, time and transport cost a bomb already!
2hrs? that long? I stay in the east as well but i use less than an hour to reach there! btw how much u bought it?
