    I use Feather and Nylon shuttles mostly Feather mostly Yonex Aerosensa 20-30 or I have recently bought the Mavis 2000 in SINGAPORE !!
    Well I don't need to buy yonex clothes but it would be nice to have one.
    Yonex Shoes i Want to try.
    I'm a Yonex person thats why I know a lot about them and I think im going to start to use the Arcsaber Series as it is very nice !

    arcsaber z slash (Y) the arcsaber 10 is also not bad! tried it :)
    how is the mavis shuttles? do you think it is bad if you use it on badminton racquets stringed with 24/26 tension? :)

    I have the Arcsaber Z-Slash I need another one. I have tried the Arcsaber 10 but it isn't as good as the Arcsaber Z-Slash (My opinion)
    The Mavis 2000 are really nice they are similar to the Feather shuttles
    No,It is just like playing with feathers

    o.o I said it is not bad :p not the best :) arcsaber z-slash should be better due to the price :) a cheaper and good alternative is at600, although they claim that it is head heavy, it is quite even-balanced and is pretty light too!
    Wow nice! how much is it? considering buying it ^^ cause with my smashes the feather shuttlecocks are disintegrating xD cause when the shuttle hit the ground the feathers all get bend or else the cork will just come off from the feather :p

    I know what you mean about the feather shuttles I smashed a feather shuttle the cork nearly hit my coach at school and the feathers were everywhere.
    The Mavis 2000 are S$19.90 (Get the Blue cap ones because the speed is good) from Chau Beng Departmental Store #02-37G/H but I think you can get it somewhere else so a cheaper price you just have you look around.

    HAHA but when you train using feather shuttles are better :) as you do not need to pay :p hahaha
    I accidentally smashed a plastic shuttle into my coach's crouch when i supposed to do a cross smash xd the shuttlecock feathers spilt up idk why
    woah its actually cheaper then feather shuttles o.o is it the best of the mavis range? how many shuttles on one box?

    Yes I would say it is the best Plastic shuttle on the market at the moment.
    I smashed 3 boys in the Crouch
    1. At the club I go to on Saturdays I was playing doubles and I was at the front and a boy left the shuttle I smashed it into his crouch
    2. A boy at school thinks he is better then me so, He served the shuttle high into my mid-court so I smashed into his crouch haha !! (I go to a Professional Club to play)
    3(I didn't smash it into his crouch) While me and another boy were warming up for a doubles game I was telling him about the net area and I told him not to hit it high and he did so I smashed it and it is hit his hand, He started screaming haha :D . In the game. The same person left the shuttle I smash it, and hit him on the same hand on the same spot and again he started screaming haha. (this boy is 2 years older then me)
    As you can tell I am an offensive player

    I'm not. In games I start smashing 1. Someone Lefts the shuttle into my mid-court I teach them a lesson.
    2. If I'm annoyed with myself or my partner for being rubbish and I want to win a game I start smashing to win.
    Well try and play with 2 shuttles It will help with your speed.

    singles is easy, as you only need foot work and the shots you can learn when you and training for doubles

    The Ti-11 and Ti-9 should be within ur budget , the review on these 2 rackets I dun think they are in BC , it's actually a recommendation from my stringer , cheap n good all round racket with good power , as for the Zelm , I believe only the Ultimate is availiable now , do give Sgbad a PM , I believe he has all 3 rackets that I just mentioned... :D
