Nalax Badminton Birdies12-Pack Professional Duck Feather Badminton Shuttlecocks Feather Ball with Great Durability Stability and Balance,Suitable for Professional Training Or Family Outdoor Sports

I was looking for some additional birdies (shuttles, shuttlecocks) for a badminton set i got recently. I was thrilled to see the option with real feathers! That’s from the origins of badminton! With real feathers, i for a much more nuanced action, so i could power these up through their arc, then watch as any english i put on the birdie twisted the trajectory and challenged my opponent. Professional badminton always uses birdies with real feathers.

I am an intermediate player playing with other intermediate players. We use the nalax shuttlecocks for practice matches and practice. It is not recommended for tournament or serious play. I would use Yonex AS 50 or Victor Master 1 for that. Nevertheless, this is a good option for practice matches and practice.For me, this shuttlecock is fast and good for two sets. Beyond that, it depends on you whether you mishit the birdie or not. As long as you don’t hit the feather, I guess this shuttlecock’s durability is fine.What I heard from my friend is that this shuttlecock was fast. I guess you don’t need to worry about the speed of the shuttlecock or how it plays. It is definitely okay. I would say that out of all the shuttlecocks in amazon (not including the famous brands like yonex and victor), this nalax shuttlecock would be a good choice.I hope this helps. Enjoy playing badminton!

I'm not a badminton pro by any means, so these are great for beginners as well as backyard badminton pros. These are well made, and they are very lightweight. Lots of fun to get out swat the birdie,

Not durable at all! Very light! Does not last even for 1/4 of the game!

I was pretty excited to try these. They were falling apart almost immediately. Guess you get what you pay for.

These shuttles are not bad for training and recreational matches. They fly fine and lasts 1-2 sets which is normal for budget shuttlecocks. I am an intermediate to advanced player. Speed wise its okay, slightly faster, but nothing too extreme. If it's too fast, just ruffle the end feathers to slow it down. For the price, I will buy it again.

Pretty solid shuttle for the price. People giving it one star expecting a bird to last more than 2 games don't understand that shuttles are not meant to be used for that long.

Heavy and not so durable
