Had a shock of my life once they passed a new shuttlecock for a game - you know it's a fake as the tube and the logo colour(s) are "off-tone", the shuttles are light with a flimsy rib-cage structure.
The fake AS-40 deforms after any 2nd or 3rd clears - not even smashes ...
Did not get a sample. Hence I found the following pix from a Chinese website. Atleast the selling website was honest and stated these are more suitable for cost-effective training.

Definitely will not be visiting this particular group again!
Such organisers using el-cheapo shuttlecocks and charging the players higher fee should not be supported by the community! Players supporting such "make a quick buck" organisers are only encouraging others to do the same thing.
ReplyDeleteAnother breed of the "make a quick buck"organisers charge super high fee(s) eg $10 each, to play in the housing areas. Players should avoid these groups as well as you are only encouraging others to do the same, without proper justification.
For instance, I know a organiser who charges $9 per person for max 24 players for 3hrs*3-courts session. When he has 2-courts*3hrs, he charges $8 per person with max 18 players. He uses good quality shuttles as well. And this organiser does not even control the shuttle usage - he leaves the tubes with new shuttles by the net and let the players manage it themselves - I know of many organisers who try to control cost by only providing a new shuttle via 1-to-1 exchange eg need to ask for a new shuttle.
If this org can do it and still maintain the balance sheet, why can't other organisers do so ... unless they are in it to make $$$!
