    was using HQ reds speed 4 // 51 yesterday, I think they flew a little bit too fast. I'm guessing this is because its the summer time?

    5.1g will be too fast for our summer. During 30+ degree days, even the 5.0g I use fly too fast.

    5.1 grams birds will not work in winter. You need 5.2 grams birds.

    5.1g should work in heated gyms & courts (eg. Richmond Pro), even 5.0g are okay if there is heating. On really cold nights where the heating can't cope or goes kaput, we just tip the birds to make them go faster. This saves us from having to keep shuttles of 2 different speeds/weight.

    well... already tried out the shuttle. I guess the one I have is the newer packaging. And it doesn't play as good as before(the old packaging). And I also noticed they don't have the IBF approved logo any more. What happen?

    Did you tried out the blue? It is possible you got the duck feather.

    Yes, I got the Blue one, some of the shuttle have a little paper show it is IBF approved, some aren't. Not sure what is that mean. But after this shipping. I guess I will try something else. Thinking about Snow Peak. maybe getting the 1st grade. The one after the premium.

    1) did you order from the Cal store or oversea?
    2) what was the price you paid?
    3) try some other place like badminton alley or www.cybadminton.com

    I ordered it with the store that I used to buy when I lived in HK. I asked my friend to buy it for me and ship it over.

    Now, I start open the rest of it... Look like just the 1st tube that I opened was bad. The rest of it look ok... maybe the 1st tube is bad luck:confused::confused::confused::confused:

    used to import Hi-Qua to Finland

    One thing allways confused me with Hi-Qua shuttle tubes, the shuttless I bought from William (from US) had tube as shown in hiquasports website, but most of the other websites had pictures of tube as shown in mybadmintonstore. Well Very good shuttles what ever the tube looks like
