Senston 12xTraining Sport Goose Feather Shuttlecocks Birdies Stability Badminton Ball Game(Dozen)

There is a difference between Yonex ones of course, these are a little less sturdier but if you're just after some Feathers to try them out then it's not bad. They drop unlike Plastics so it's nicer to play with.If you want some statistics, we did go through 4 of them within 8 games before they started to fray badly. However it may be worth mentioning that we did not use any humidifying techniques to prepare them beforehand.Overall I'm satisfied with the product and the price, but don't expect super amazing durability because feathers get damaged quite easily.

Better than more expensive ones I've tried After some trial and error (looking at you Li Ning) we've decided to stick with these from now on. They are a good price and are the best feather shuttlecocks we've tried. The half feather thing seems odd but works well so who cares. Also they last quite a while too.

Not overly impressed by these. Rather than a full feather, one side is shaved which seems to make the shuttle spin as it flies. They seem to deform quite easily and you end up with more of an oval than a round shuttle after not much use. The feathers do seem quite resilient though and don't snap off easily. If you are looking for a practice feather shuttle I would personally go for a Babolat #4 which you can pick up for around the same price and offers much better performance.

On side of each of the feathers is halved which make the shuttle wobble. Why on earth would they cut the half the feather off is beyond my understanding but I can definitely tell you that it has an adverse effect on the aerodynamics. And no, its not as if I got the one bad batch of shuttles, I bought 2 and they are both like this. Look carefully and the 3rd and 4th picture in the item description before purchasing.

Arrived promptly looked ok in box but already the feathers have split and shuttlecock is misshapen not being used for serious play just for garden fun would expect them to last longer only purchased 6 weeks ago

Bought a few models to test, seems these were very fragile even for feathers. A few hard hits and the shuttle starts to misshapen and hurtle in the air like an arrow. The A7 version are far superior in my view and are far more durable.

If you are used to feathers then be prepared to be tired. The flight of the shuttle is so slow and great for training but not for match play. They are pretty durable which is a plus. I can clear a shuttle from one end of the court to the other with an average amount of effort but with these slow boys it is like hitting a baloon. It will get to mid court at best.

If you hit them as you should then these last quite well. Other feather versions only last one game but these have tended to last an hours session. Miss hit them then they last as long as you should expect! Good value. The only very small point is that we found the very odd one or two sound and fly differently. We are very amateurs so not a major impact on us.
