Great shuttlecock and good bang for your buckAugust 26, 2008 I've been using one of these the last several weeks playing many games and hitting hard and still it's in good condition. Good price and solid. I like the cork tip vs the plastic tip on some of the others. I recommend using a wind ring along with it. At one point the blue plastic strip came off but it's still fully functional so it doesn't really matter. If you have problems breaking your shuttlecock try these!
Great improvement over the plastic tipsApril 10, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
We (my wife and I) are brand new to badminton so take what I say in that context. For our first set of "birdies" we bought a Franklin 6 pack and the quality control was so bad on them we decided to upgrade to these. I am very glad we did. These are a bit weightier and have a cork tip, rather than a plastic/rubber tip on the really cheap birdies. I don't know how long these will last but it has vastly improved our fun in playing the game. These birdies (I get tired of writing "shuttlecocks") are still very affordable and I will never go back to a cheaper product, even though we just play in order to get outside and wave our hands around for a half hour--there are no plans for any "league" play. :-)
