    Snow Peak Shuttles

    Yonex is the best shuttle but the price is to high, I suggest u try snow peak that is very similar to yonex interms flight and durability. snowpeakbadminton.com

    i think if you just looking at trainning i will suggest yang yang 99A or Jinque blue. i comparing in the area such as price, flight, impact feel and durability.

    however, if you would like to have a bit better quality i think the areoplane green label, black labe or yang yang 300b is a good choose as well.

    Aeroplane green should be equivalent to Yonex AS-30.

    Aeroplane black is equivalent to Yonex AS-50 and Aeroplane red to Yonex AS-40.

    RSL shuttles are to heavy.. they dont feel as nice as other top shuttles. I think they get imbalanced and to heavy on the feathers due to RSLs unique reinforced feather stems (fouble glued reinforced stems).. it is great for durability but makes the feeling of rsls closer to duck feather shutles imop.

    AS30/40/50 are superior but they are overpriced :-( .. Wilson, Li-Ning, Head, Mizuono, Victor top shuttles has been nice, when i have tried them.

    I think Babolat shuttlecocks are manufactured by RSL.

    still the older brands like sealion or aeroplane is more consistent over the years. New brands tend to fluctuate in quality. U'll see like some giving great reviews initially n it dies off. Hope this helps.;)

    When we say older brands :) i guess RSL is the oldest one isn't it?

    For me. Tested

    Yonex AS 40 - Good shuttle, Excellen but too expensive
    RSL Classic - Half of yonex price and same lasting, Excellen product
    RSL No.1 - Cheaper than classic but doesn't last long as Classic
    RSL No.2/ Silver Feather - Good, reasonable price.
    Areoplane - EG1130, similar to RSL No.1
    Sealion Gold - Good price, very lasting, but getting slower & slower after few hits

    Would you say Aeroplane EG1130 is better or worse than RSL No.1 in terms of durability?

    For me, it's very hard to tell the difference inbetween EG1130 and No.1, but they also depending on the seasons.... I am using 78 Speed here in Melbourne.

    not sure which is oldest, in msia sealion, aero, dunlop are famous like 30 years back. Rsl no 1 was good last year, kindof up n down. Now very quiet.Sealion still best in price/performance ratio.

    Our group also played Aeroplane EG1130, SG1130, G1130, Yonex AS 30/40/50. RSL Classic and RSL #1 over the years

    From what we see,

    Aeroplane EG1130 - similiar to Yonex AS 50, but much better price. Way better than RSL #1.
    Aeroplane SG1130 - similiar to Yonex AS 40 and RSL classic.
    Aeroplane G1130 - similiar to Yonex AS 30 and RSL #1.

    IMHO, Aeroplane EG1130 is better than RSL #1 in every aspects.

    Hello,

    I guess Aeroplane 1130 is a good product but it's still quite expensive even if the price is cheaper than yonex shuttles
    Do you know other brand with a better rate quality / price?
    What do you think about chaopai shuttles?
    thks
