| Pix of shuttle from session |
Initial impressions was good with good flight characteristics and nice feedback upon hitting the shuttle. Shuttle weight is about average - not light but not heavy either. We did notice that 3 in a tube of 12 were brittle and was easily damaged with a single broken feather. The rest were good for a casual game, only necessary to change the shuttle around 75-80% of a set of 21-points.
In summary;-
Cost: Unknown, as the shuttles were purchased on behalf of the organiser by a committee member when in Malaysia. Will update once I have the information
Performance: Good flight characteristics which lasts for a reasonable time. You will definitely see the degradation prompting the need for replacement
Durability: Single shuttle can last about 75-80% of a casual game with moderate smashing (not hard smashes). Hence reasonable durability.
In summary, the shuttle is more than adequate for any casual games. Durability and performance wise, I personally prefer the E280 to the likes of many of the popular shuttles available in Singapore. It may not be super durable or the best performer, but it's definitely a good balance of all the required characteristics vs what's available in the SG market.
