Does anyone have an idea where to get them from in Europe (Germany) or Asia? I got ours from shuttlecock.biz but since 2 months I can´t get in contact with the owner anymore, even though we kinda know him... No idea what is wrong. Is there an (e-mail) address from the factory itself? We also have the 3-layered cork shuttles. I can post a picture later. They are still the best we ever got (we played Trump 101 before, ~17 € the same with EG1130), so I need to get them.
it is already known that the company is cutting cost and that's why they are having the cork made with cork and synthetic material if i remember correctly. from previous posts on this thread alone you will see that it has happened since the last two years if not earlier. playing mostly singles, i find the shuttles still very consistent and the cork only deforms when i play doubles with people who can't make proper contact with the shuttle. i do see that the feathers are better in comparison with victor gold but the cork is not as well made as victor gold. it's been a long time since i humidify any shuttles but i am guessing if i humidify victor gold shuttles, i can make it last as long as the aeroplane black label. with victor gold at $15usd and aeroplane black label at $19.5usd i think they are both very cost effective shuttles, at least for my games.
gundamzaku I agree with u that the cork only deforms on doubles games where people cant hit the shuttle properly. quite often I have managed to hit the shuttle totally outta shape, as in flattened after a smash. the black label lasts really long on single games with little deformity though. btw 19.5usd that's a real bargain, if you dont mind please share with us on where u got it from, thanks mate
Here is a shot of the YouHe s100 cut in have. It appears it is made out of all cork. I have yet to test the shuttlecock.
I think the above comments still hold true. We continue to use tthem, and if steamed are pretty consistent. We play about 75% or more doubles, and I would say they last on average for 1.5 games each. We pay approximately $22 shipped per tube from Shuttlecock101.
Do you import aeroplane or get in Mumbai ? Besides what other brand are available besides RSL, YOnex and Li Ning there ?
Hi I can send you eg1130 or sg 1130 shuttles in india itself at competitive price. The quality is at par with yonex as 40 shuttles. If interested drop me a message at aditya.deepti@gmail.com Regards Aditya
