Received a few samples for testing.
Initial feel of the shuttles were not light but not heavy as well. Shuttles does not have a solid feel to them.
We were provided with Speed76&77 for testing.
Honestly I could not really distinguish between the 76&77 during play. The shuttle performance and feel are quite nice. A shuttle could almost last a set with about 50% of shots were smashes - the ribcage structure on 3 of the samples were lobsided, by about 16 or 17 points in a 21 point set. The last sample had a broken feather 3/4 way along the stem.

As these are by Babolat, they won't be competitively priced. On the net, they are priced in the mid-upper range with more established competitors. Unless Babolat reduce the prices, they will be just another of the major tennis manufacturers who may quit the badminton market in the long run.
Saw a tube for RM78 at NU Mall in KL
