Shuttle speed used in Canada

Likely will be speed 77 or 78.

Have you approached any local leagues / clubs / tournament organisers to ask what speed and brand they use?

 

This really depends on location. In Atlantic Canada it's common to use speed 78 in places where you're basically at sea level.

In Alberta they should be using much slower shuttles in the mountain regions. I've only played in Calgary once and using speed 76 or 77 (don't remember) felt too fast still.
