    If you can get Victor Champion at $25 and can afford that, they are pretty good. The victor tourney and even the gold are good too. In Canada, contact Gemini Sports out of Vancouver....All victor stuff...wholesale prices...cheap shipping....I use Victor racquets/shoes/equipment and went to the Victor Phoenix shuttles for this year.

    I can have RSL N°1 Tourney at $20.50 for 2 tubes (24x shuttles). Good price or not?

    I think it is a very good price if it's inclusive with tax and shipping. In the Netherlands it costs around the 12 - 14 euro's each tube.

    I read that the new batch of RSL N°1 Tourney isn't so good as it used to be...
    Maybe the price dropped because of that? :confused:

    I don't think that's the reason. The quality is also lower from other brands. The prices are getting higher.

    Yang Yang 99a is probably a grade A duck feather shuttle. There is no such thing as a tournament grade feather. As a grade A duck feather it is over-priced. You can get grade A+ duck feather shuttle for less. All feathers are graded into grade A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, etc., etc. The complete shuttle is then graded as match (tournament) level, training level, etc. by each manufacturer based on their own standards. Naturally, each manufacturer's standard is different from every other manufacturer's.

    I kind of prefer a bird from Thailand @ around $15. It's just because I have a visitor that is coming from Thailand and he willing to bring it for me.

    Bought 5x 12 BOER grade 1 shuttlecock for 65$. One of the best tournament shuttlecock I've tried for the price and the flight + durability. VERY satisfied :)

    I'm very impressed with Wilson's Topline range. I've only used the 80's so far, which are amongst the best shuttlecocks I have ever played with. Durability, flight, speed and consistency are all excellent. A top quality shuttle. SHUTTLECOCK-WILSON-TOPLINE-80-2T.jpg

    I prefer as40 as the consistency of each shuttle is very slimilar and the flight pattern is excellent and consistent. The cock itself is compact and solid thus upon smashing, a louder bang and solid feel of shuttle on the string bed. As50 cock itself is more solid than 40. As50 mainly use for tourney as national player all have extreme power to smash the shuttle til it become a mushroom shaped cock. My 2 cents worth. Ever being a linemen for sunrise Yonex open. As 50 shuttles during their morning practice turn to mushroom shaped for some.

    My personal fave is RSL Classic Tourney, second Aeroplane Black. I get industry leading prices on both so I'm happy either way :)

    I have recently started using Tronex Gold shuttles and have found them very good value for money. They are very durable and the flight is very consistent.
