shuttles used in Australia

KO beng is a very good coach too ... hehehehe

 

Hey Baddoug

I gave up on rebel and went looking for alternatives. If you don't mind trekking out to Macquarie Centre in North Ryde, there's a store called Love All which have shuttlecocks which start at $15 upwards. I tried the Aeroplane greens($15), they last about a game at best. I have moved to Aeroplane Blacks and they are far more durable around 2.5 games at least.

 

sweet, i go over that way quite a bit so i'll go check it out..thanks for the advise sachman! how much are their aeroplane blacks btw??

 

I'm looking for some shuttles too. Looking to buy 50-100 tubes locally in Perth or interstate is ok. So far I'm looking at:

An-Yu
Aeroplane Black
RSL Tourney 1
Victor Champion No 1

Speed prefably 79. Any suggestions on suppliers/contacts?

 

Talk to james kuo from calibre, he got a load of 79 speed aeroplane blacks for our use over here in NZ, just dont buy them all so i cant get any ! James should be on this forum somewhere (jckuo), or i think they have a website. Dont know about the other brands

 

i am currently using Yones AS-50 which i bought overseas for $30AU per tube

 

BadDoug,

I got Aeroplane greens from Love All but got Aeroplane Blacks from a guy who supplies where I play. We've been able to secure themfor $24 per tube, so if you haggle perhaps you can get for around the same price

 

Evergreen_Champion shuttlecocks

that's new import from Taiwan same as quality with Epsilon_Yellow, but the price is quite different, only $22/tube, that's worthy to try.

 

Evergreen Tournament Shuttlecocks

that one is second grade of Evergreen's goose shuttlecocks. the price is $21/tube.

 

Evergreen duck tournament shuttlecocks

this is good for social club to play badminton and quite durable, $16/tube.

 

Yonex Shuttlecocks

AS-50 $28.0, AS-40 $27.0 and AS-30 $26.0

 

Hey guys, I am from Malaysia and will be heading to Adelaide for my foundation in engineering. If i bring shuttle from Malaysia, will the speed be the same in Australia. For you information, the current speed that we are playing in Malaysia will be between 77 and 78. What is the shuttle speed that is used in Adelaide?? Any player willing to play a couple of shot with me??

 

in Australia most people play with 79/80. I don't mind 78 either

 

"in Australia...." is not quite true. It depends which city you play in. In Sydney, we usually use 77-78.

 

where is the speed written for AS-50? can't find it anywhere on the tube

 

Yonex shuttlecock speed are coded in colour. Green, Blue and Red. I only see blue been sold in Melbourne.

 

There's a sticker on the lid of the tube. For example. "4" means speed 4.

 

oh i found the number, apart from that sticker theres actually the speed printed above the barcode as well, just clarifying, is 5 fastest?

 

so far i have tried and rated in the following order

1. an yu silver
2. an yu red
3. aeroplane sg1130
4. aeroplane eg1130
5. ashaway black
6. rsl classic
7. sotx bb102
8. sotx bb101
9. ashaway classic
10. ashaway silver
11. ashaway a21? blue/red

i'm ordering some rsl tourny 1's and sotx bb201/bb202. see how they go.

 

also coming soon to test.
