    go to TADS @ 70th and Granville. Victor Blues @ $18, Yonex AS-15 @ $17, Dunlop AF-1 (my new favorite, currently on sale, comparable to victor Green IMO) @ $16 for multiple tubes.

    In the summer I bought some Dunlop AF-1s (they only had 77speeds though) for $16 at Tads. What are you guys buying nowadays? I bought Vic blues in May and I think I paid $22.

    I recently recommended a shuttle for use by my local badminton club, and they have switched over from Victor Blue so if anyone is interested, please give me an email: ggbaddy@gmail.com

    They are priced as follows:
    1-49 tubes - $13 each
    50-99 tubes - $12 each
    100+ tubes - $11 each (limited time offer)

    How do these shuttles compare to some of the other ones out there and do those prices include shipping?

    PS. Recently bought Victor Blues at Tad's for 20$ and they were sold out of the Dunlops for a while now.

    Well, the guy in charge of buying birdies for the local badminton club is a middle A level player. He tested the birdies in comparison to Victor Blue and they preferred my birdies to the Victor ones in just about every aspect.

    The prices do not include shipping, but of course, the more you buy, the cheaper shipping is per tube. It starts at about $1 each and can drop as low as $.25
