SoCal - best value shuttles? Where to buy?

[Sadtogo]

I can get Yonex AS30s for $45, but these things become unplayable so much faster than AS50s, which cost $50. At these prices, the AS50s definitely offer better value. Not exact but it feels pretty close: we need two AS30s per game, but only one AS50…that makes the AS30s 80% more expensive per game!

Which shuttles do you use? How many games do they last and how much do they cost?

Bump - where do you buy shuttles?

Joybadminton is too expensive. Are there any other local stores? Or do you buy online only? Any businesses offer discounts if we buy a lot?

I buy them on alibaba, DDP incoterm, like 5$ less per tube than in my local store. I have an a microenterprise for that (that cost me 0, just to have "pro" things)

Are alibaba shuttles real? Some prices seem too good to be true

You must be careful to ensure that the shuttlecock model is correct and that the supplier is reputable. You should also take into account shipping costs, which can be high. But in comparison, there are fewer “scams” on Alibaba than on AliExpress. After all, the shuttlecocks you buy in stores come from China anyway ! The people you buy it from just make a profit when they sell it to you.

I've been buying Baton Masters off Alibaba for a few years now. Quality is quite consistent and super competitive with all other factories. Though the prices have shot up to $40+ CAD.
