Yonex just announced all shuttlecock price increase. And the increment is never been so high before. Next week should see all the new price in shop....
I believe it won't be only Malaysia is affected. It is a global issue as the feather shortage due to bird flu. I am not sure can we disclose the price right here, I just get to know my supplier telling me a huge difference which is nearly to 10% for AS50.
Speaking about the AS50, a friend went back to KL for a short while, asked him to pickup some tubes of AS50 but found that not many shops actually stock Yonex Shuttlecocks.
Hi Gavin, In Malaysia, AS50 is not that common in use. There are many local/asia brands are selling much lower price and quality not too far from Yonex. So for Yonex, normally people are using AS30 which is like RM10-15 cheaper per tube.
Where do you guys source your AS30, which shop if you dont mind revealing? Next time I return I can make a good purchase and ship it back to Melbourne. There are ton of Malaysian's here and they import in RSL, Sealion, etc. Yonex on the other hand, there is none.
Time to time, different shop has sales tactics. So before you come back, you may ask and we will recommend you by time to time.
I believe the cheapest AS50 you could find in the world is Taiwan. It only cost NTD 720 (USD24) per tube http://www.jollysport.com.tw/merchandise_1.asp?No=1352
Agreed, their tax system for sport are very low. I even bought my socks there. MIT made in Taiwan socks are very good quality. Rackets also cheap
Let me check for you see how it works. Will ask around the shops for you. PM me roughly how many tubes you are looking for.
Just checked Puchong famous shops... AJ, Prince and Perfect sport... Only AJ have Yonex shuttlecock and only have AS40, selling at RM80.... How about your sides? What is the price now?
