Feather shuttlecocks
Feather shuttlecocks are the preferred choice for training and competition. They offer a natural flight, excellent control and a realistic playing feel.
Feather shuttles are the most popular type of shuttle for training sessions and matches. Thanks to the natural feathers, they offer a stable flight, excellent control and a realistic playing feel. At the same time, more and more players and clubs are choosing hybrid or synthetic shuttles as a durable alternative. These combine a similar flight with a significantly longer lifespan.
Material of feather shuttles
Compared to nylon shuttles, feather shuttles (both goose feathers and duck feathers) provide more control and feel in your shots. This makes them ideal for players who want maximum precision. However, one downside is that feather shuttles wear out faster and therefore need to be replaced more often than a nylon shuttle.
Do you want to replace shuttles less often and play more sustainably? Then hybrid or synthetic shuttles are an interesting alternative. These shuttles last longer, are less sensitive to temperature and humidity, and increasingly offer a realistic playing feel that comes very close to feather shuttles.
Price
The cost of a shuttlecock with feathers is higher than that of a nylon shuttle. What is the reason for that? These feathers on a shuttlecock are made from a 100% natural product, and it is much more labor intensive to produce them. However, this should not spoil the fun, and we advise the better players to play with this type of shuttle.
Fun is always central!
Different types
Feather shuttlecocks are available for both training and official competition and come in different speeds. The most used speed in the Netherlands is 77 (Blue). The other speeds can always be ordered, but not in stock as standard. The delivery time for these shuttles (76 and 78) is therefore a few days longer.
