Babolat Hybrid "3-in-1"

Just a FYI as friend purchased the model and there does not seem to be many pix of the feathers when looking from the bottom. He has not tried playing with them yet.

Now I know why - looking more like training shuttle feathers

From the side-profile pix, the plastic ribcage structure design looks sturdy enough. And with a large well to hold the feathers I believe there is potential to deploy better quality feathers for the product as well as to enable replacement of broken feathers to deliver a more eco friendly product eg the space shuttle after every trip back - replace broken heat shielding tiles on its fuselage.

So what say Babolat ... will you take the initiative to lead the pack?

Felet No:1 Red

Was playing in a friend's group and they bought a tube to test & compare against their normal shuttle. Unfortunately I forgot to get a pix of the used shuttle.

Another friend informed Felet is Fleet re-branded. 

Here's my personal take on it.

Price: RM128 per tube on their website, so it's not a cheap shuttle.

Durability: Reasonable but once it starts "dying", it really goes fast eg start growing air-brakes exponently

Performance: Flight is like 75% of the way ok before it starts slowing down towards the end of the flight path. Does not behave like the Yonex AS30/40/50 which is my standard reference.

Feel: Like hitting a squash ball type feel

Honestly I am praying my friend does not start using this shuttle for this games...😖
