ProAce AT-75

Previously we purchased 4 tubes to try out the shuttles, as some of my regulars had used the birdie elsewhere and were happy with it.

We discovered quality of the shuttles were extremely dependant on the batch. The good were Superb whilst the bad was TRULY BAD!

On the bad night, we ended up using both tubes - a record for us! We normally use 14-16 shuttles for 16 players playing on 2 courts, each court for 2 hrs.

Hence we will not be purchasing any more of these shuttles in the future.

Fleet Gold

A few years ago, I 1st came across the Fleet Gold shuttle when the group playing next to us were using them.

Since then we have adopted it as one of our backup choices if stocks of our de facto standard are not available at the shops.

The Fleet Gold is quite durable with predictable flight characteristics. It provides a nice feel when hit. The shuttle is a bit heavier than norm. For instance when I placed 8 shuttles on a non-digital weighting scale, it was heavier than the same number of our de facto standard by an estimated 5-6g.
