Victor AirShuttle (aka BWF Air Badminton) shuttlecock (***UPDATE***)
During the Covid lockdown period, known as "Circuit Breaker" (aka CB) period in Singapore, one of my regulars advised he bought a tube to try with his kids.
The feedback is that it's more viable for playing in the outdoors and whatever you do - DO NOT USE YOUR BETTER racquets as the AirShuttle is build sturdier and thus heavier than your normal shuttle. Therefore there is much potential for racquet frame damage and for sure will put a smile on your regular stringer's face eg broken strings!
Thus do use your most un-wanted racquets when playing with these AirShuttles - the feedback received was fun for the kids outdoor.

Easy way to determine the sweet spot of a badminton racquet
Since the country is on stay home situation, I will not be able to review any shuttlecock(s) for a while.
Thus am taking this opportunity to inform on other methods which can assist with shuttle flight.
The follow vid presents a quick and easy way to determine the sweet spot of your badminton racquet.
Hitting the shuttle at the sweet spot enables the optimum transfer of energy from your racquet to the shuttle with a nice sound - it's like comparing the sound from a rifle shot vs a pistol, it's very distinctive.
Another tip is to use a darker coloured string. You can then see the residue white marking(s) on the darker string after hitting the white head of the shuttlecock.
Found the following on the net when Googling for a detail explaination of why you try to hit the shuttlecock at the sweetspot.
