Yeah, but then you end up with a 20 quid a week shuttlecock habit

Very true. The durability does vary from brand to brand. We sometimes go through three or four a game with carltons, but can easily make 2 Yonex AS40s last for 4 games. Strange becasue the yonex isn't rated as the most durable out there.

We have it so that I pay for the shuttles and my mate pays for the court, it works out fair in the long run.

The last feather shuttlecocks I had were Yonex, quite possibly AS40s. They'd last about a game, though there'd be a good few missing feathers and a distinct wobble by the end. Mind you, we possibly had the worst combination of players in the group at the time - some who can smash, and some who have a habit of laying up returns for the smash!

We had that kind of combo last week, couple of the players had never used feather shuttles and, to be fair hadn't played for a long time either. We ended up going through a tube before having to change back plastic ones.

Generally if we can get a game and a half out of a feather with the ability to warm up with it the next week we are happy.

Its the miss hits that kill 'em.
