I use ChaoPai Yellow as my daily training, it is much cheaper than others, only around USD7, even to 50RMB in china. the quality is good at this price. and use Chaopai Red in formal match, the durability and the leather is good .
yonex is on the top of the list, but if you factor in things like... price!... then there are many other brands like... SOTX, AEROPLANE
for tournament use (aside from yonex): 1) aeroplane red 2) aeroplane black and chao pai red 3) rsl classic tourney
for me kawasaki elite 36 shuttle cocks are durable and cheap.it will last us 4 games before we replace a new one.well,it depends if the players are smashing happy all the way!!hahahaha!!
Using Victor Service at the moment which have proved to be a cost effective shuttle with good durability and flight even when slightly damaged. We paid £9.75 doz. Best of the lot so far by a long way. Probably as good or better than yonex AS30 in my opinion Shuttles we've used in the past have been Carlton AG8 - reasonable durability - discontinued Yonex AS30 - nice shuttle, not sure worth £2.00 more than Victor Sevice though Ashaway Red - yuk RSL4 - yuk RSL3 - ok Head 30 - ok Babolat ??? - very durable, awful flight. These things just wouldn't break!! Made with ostrich feathers or summat.
hello. I'm looking for practice shuttles in Singapore. Price range between 12-16. Any suggestions? I realised my school shuttlecocks are mostly worn out. During drills, the shuttle flight is inconsistent. Thus I'm looking for cheap practice shuttles. xD
Hi. What brand are you using? Pricing from 12-16 is not possible to get a durable shuttlecocks. I know someone supply Chao Pai Blue(TW) at around S$20(negotiable) to instructor. The shuttlecoks is an all rounder for practice and leisure play. You can find the feedback in the forums.
Mind to ask who are distributing those kind of shuttlecocks here in the Philippines? And our group is also interested to be a distributor.
I used Sealion C1101 in the past and later switch to Protech Masterpiece. I find Masterpiece is more durable and has higher impact feel compare to Seaalion. Right now, I am using Chao Pai red for aggressive game and Chao Pai Sliver for leisure play with other group.
Yonex shuttles are very durable. For me, on average it lasts for 1 game. Never tried AS40 though. RSL come second on my list.
I personally like using Sword Fish S101 and Chao Pai Special (Red) for their durability; able to last 3/4 to one whole game. Both are priced about SGD25 each. However the supplier for Sword Fish is no longer bringing the S101 grade into Singapore, and so have to settle with just Chao Pai Special (Red) for the time being.
