    Took a tube of Perfect 77 from local source thru BC contact few weeks ago.
    I have tried to mix the Sintec 818 and RCL in a 2 hours game for low immediate level.

    Flight
    : Comparable Sintec 818.
    Speed: Comparable Sintec 818, don feel significant different since no -ve comments from members
    Durability: Easily last up to 1.5 game just like the 818.

    IHMO
    After the game while collecting the used shuttles for next warm game.
    I found the stem of the feathers of RCL deteriorate more than the Sintec 818. In the end, the numbers of "Ok" pieces which can be used next warm up
    session are mostly Sintec 818.

    Overall , I feel the RCL Perfect is kinda same range with Sintec 818.
    Next consideration would then be the pricing and easy stock availablity.

    RCL brings the meaning with an abbreviation of "Reliable, Consistent, Lasting"

    RSL stands for Reinforced Shuttlecocks Limited.

    RSL existed since 1928 in England whereas RCL is a Malaysian brand created in 1988. As far as I know, RSL is now owned by a Hong Kong company. In Malaysia itself, RCL existed before RSL came into Malaysia.

    Today get to play with RCL Titanium shuttlecocks. It was from Ipoh and selling at RM54. The durablility of this shuttlecock is the best so far I have tested. Most feathers remain intact after 2.5-3games with plenty of smashing. Hopefully this model will be available in JB soon.:D

    I have tested RCL Titanium too, same feeling but if the speed would be slightly faster will be really a perfect solution based on the price & durability.

    U were recommending apacs 700 flight shuttles the last time izit? How does it compares to RCL titanium? Personally i've tried some apacs 700 shuttles....some were super durable and consistent in flight even after 2 games while some shuttles wear off pretty fast....so it's like the whole tube shuttles isnt consistent in quality:eek:

    RCL titanium is better in durability compare to Apacs aero-flight 700. Pricing wise, RCL is RM6 more than Apacs shuttlecock. Most of the apacs shuttlecock I tested last 2 games and I do not understand what do you mean by wear off pretty fast. However, RCL titanium is not available in JB and pple have to get it in KL, Ipoh or further northern state of Malaysia. :D

    Wear off as in it isnt durable....like i said, some birdies were good for 2 games and the flight is consistent throughout while some last either 1 game or less, cannot be used as the flight consistency isnt there or 1 of the feather broke off...:p Nevertheless, the price paid is still quite reasonable ;)

    If the shuttle lasted a game or less it consider poor quality. Although I have not come across this but based on what you experience it might be a poor quality batch. How many tubes have you bought in JB?;)
