    Hi,
    does anybody know whether Yonex manufactures shuttlecocks in China. I have bought some AS50 online from several retailers. Their yonex AS-50 shuttlecocks are "made" in China. But their qualities are really questionable. They are not bad enough to be easily spotted as fake.

    They are made in China, in Ningbo to be precise. But there are a lot of fake ones too in mainland China, if you bought them there.

    really ?
    But we use YOUHE S 101 (buy from factory), 130RMB, very durable, compare to YONEX AS 40(230 RMB) , buy from YONEX store. YOUHE S 100 so expensive ,need RMB 165.
    so we choice YOUHE S101.

    78 or 3.

    But then, some brands like youhe is super fast so we ended up using 76! It varies a lot. Aeroplane we use 50.
