i've checked your ebay link provided, just wanted to ask. are they the practice range and tournament range? i was hoping to try out the practice and intermediate range. is that available?
The practice (intermediate) range would be PROTECH ABSOLUTE ORANGE shuttles. I didn't post it on ebay because I don't have the picture to post on ebay at the moment. (My camera gone wonky already) If you wanna try out PROTECH shuttlecock, can come and play badminton with me lor. Are you staying in Melbourne??
Actually, I was wondering where you guys or your badminton clubs buy their shuttlecock?? I notice that most of the sports shop only sell Yonex. Do they buy their shuttlecock from overseas??
If you are talking about AS40 then they get it from the Australian distributor which is greys sports.
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI...m=180282680442&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=008 this guy is selling hangyu shuttlecocks for 8 bucks a tube, thats very good price, i used this brand of shuttlecocks b4, its quite consistent and reliable. highly recommended
hello guys! Im in Melbourne. Any recommendations for buying shuttlecocks here? I seen people recommending Qi-Hua Red, RSL Classic Tourney, RSL Tourney No.1 etc. Im not a pro player and play at an intermediate level (i have no idea how to grade myself). Do I need these shuttlecocks or I can opt for cheaper ones instead? Seen phandrew recommending mybadmintonstore and wingee in the post above too. But I hope to get some more advice on which brand+type of shuttlecock I should go with 1st before buying. Thanks!
I completed a review of many shuttlecocks that can be bought in Melbourne and overseas. I will post it up later when i have time.
DinkALot allowed me to use his table for making his review so I thank him for letting me use it. There are many variables that can affect the performance of the shuttle: Temperature Humidity Age of the Shuttle Exposure to the Elements Feather Consistency from the Factory Bad Batch, Good Batch Different Grades for Different Countries If your findings do not agree with mine, don't worry. Again, there's such a wide disparity among all the shuttles. I would not be surprised if there are differences in results, as I have found on quite a few occasions.
Thanks phandrew! This is a nice updated OZ version! RSL Classics Tourney~ where could I get it for $15.5?
i've noticed that there are no epsilon shuttles in the review...well...nevermind...i was just wondering where did phandrew get RSL Classic Tourneys from. i found some on e-bay but they were a bit too heavy on the pocket (approx AU$ 25 per tube).
I think i used to use Epsilon Yellow at high school but i know they didn't last long. If you want to buy RSL classics then buy them from Wingeebadminton. They have bulk buy discounts.
Shuttlecock Price Increase Hi, Just want to let everybody know that the manufacturer of Aeroplane shuttlecocks has increased the prices by around 15% recently. Also Aussie dollar has been depreciated by about 17% in the last three weeks. You will expect to find out the prices of shuttlecocks increase more than four dollars in the near future.
cheers mate. are there any other shuttles that i can use aside from the RSL Classic? preferably something that would last for at least a game.
another thing i was meant to ask you guys earlier... i live in armidale and it is 1K above sea level and about 2 1/2 hours inland... i would really appreciate it if anybody could tell me what shuttle speed should i use... thanks...
Armidale ... High up and cold . Armidale ... High up and cold. Having played at the University of New England before, I would say that speed 78 or 79 should be best. .
Cool.. ...some if not most of the ratings are pretty much comparable to Master Dan's review....but the biggest difference i notice is the price difference...wow!
