    Going to be visiting Beijing in a couple weeks. Can anyone recommend me decent badminton shuttlecocks from China? I'm used to using Aeroplane, but they're getting far too expensive... I don't mind getting a little lower quality shuttles if the price is going to be cheaper.

    Anything helps!

    I guess I'm looking for something that's NOT Aeroplane, yonex, rsl, black knight, victor, chao pai, etc...

    If you can get Youhe then go for it. Otherwise Double fish is nice but a little expensive.

    Be aware of fakes, there are a lot

    You can have a look on Taobao, the Chinese ebay.

    Does that match the local retail price? Because this is likely how I'll get it, when I decide to visit China.
    I was told Taobao requires a Chinese bank account.

    be careful with taobao as there are a lot of counterfeit on there, you need to have alipay at least to pay for the products, not sure about your standard on the shuttles, we tried many smaller brands and almost always disappointed and decided to stick with the major brands

    you can try them but I've never tried myself, moved out of HK before these brands get talked about

    1. fleet
    2. jiaodian (supposedly the factory who also makes RSL)

    Good shuttles cost more in China than in North America. The days of bargain hunting in China is over, in my opinion.

    I have just tried the LING MEI DImgray (top of the range ? not sure ) here in Malaysia. It is quite good, durable and flight is very consistent even with a broken vane. Even then, it is still playable. Last about full 1 game before a vane broke after a few mishits. The only "complain" I have (compared to Aerosensa AS40) is that the shuttle feels "hard" when you hit it.

    Hi,

    What is your company's shuttlecock brand ? What is the name of the top of the range model ? Is it available in Malaysia ?

    Hi, Maxout. Thanks for your appreciation of our LING-MEI.;) Our DIMGRAY is really the best shuttlecock with good flight and durability, moreover it's much cheaper. The feeling you said that it feels hard to play. You know that a good shuttlecock aims for hand feeling, so the weight of head is heavier than the feathers'. Top players always like this hit feeling. :)

    Hi Han Yue, is the DimGray same as L999, just different name for different market ? I cannot find Dimgray listed in your official China website. The Malaysian FB only shows Dimgray as the top but China is L999, hope you can clarify.

    I do not think you will get Ling Mei Dimgray at Taobao but you may get L-999 instead ;)

    Hi, Maxout. DIMGRAY is not the same as L-999. They are different in the feather choosing. But they are all good quality for international tournament. You can find DIMGRAY on https://badmintonlm.en.alibaba.com/?spm=a2700.7756200.1998619056.11.4qZ2iY. :)

    I compared all the shuttlecocks I usually used: Aerosensa 30 , AS40, RCL Black Gold, RCL Black Silver against the new boy Lingmei Dimgray. Final conclusion, if Yonex AS30/40 are still "unreasonably priced" hahaha :rolleyes: and so long as LingMei is "CONSISTENT" in its quality control of their top of the range shuttles, they have a very satisfied customer here.
