    Hey there,

    My advice - don't get the GT2's !!! I got 22 dozen a few weeks ago and they are some of the most brittle and fragile shuttles that I have used. I was getting to play about 20 points and then 3 feathers would fall off etc!!!!

    There was no secondary play at all as they would snap rather than gradually fraying etc. Used to play with AS 30's and used about 20 shuttles a club night - that went to 30 - 35 with the GT2's - False ecconomy!!

    Not played with the GT1's so can't advise - but they are approved by the BWF so should be at least better than the GT2's.

    Other good shuttles other than Yonex (obviously) would be Wilson Topline 100's, Ashaway International, maybe RSL 1 or Victor Championship.

    My GT2's may just have been a bad batch though?!

    :)

    I tried the GT1 last week, I like it a lot. Could play almost two full sets with it (single).

    Next season our club will play with the GT2 so I do hope they are better than the ones Kernowboy had...

    I do know a big club in the Netherlands did a blind test with several shuttles.
    The GT2 came out really good so I guess it should be okay...
