I don't like those shuttlecocks that are too light coz spoil so fast. My friend told me the competition ones which are very ex are the very light ones so they can go faster, prefer a heavier one but still with good quality feathers.

i think we are just paying for the brand if we buy yonex. carlton really have good racquets. i think mine is the "aeroback" model or sumthing.

another thing, if u want to go for competition-grade shuttles, u would have to pay more leh.

i cant imagine how a yonex racquet could cost more than 300 bucks. even 100 bucks is expensive to me. my budget if $40 if i really need to get a new racquet. 1

Just bought $19 for one dozen competition grade Aeroplane. The lady said Aeroplane is good, shop was at Raffles Place. The Yonex had 2 grades there, aeroseno no 3 or 5 was $23 and aerosena 30 was $24.

Then went home and realise I still have quite a few yonex aerosena 3, bought one doz for $18.90 last time, top level of plaza peninsula near funan.

where do you usually play? what are the court charges like?

[quarian]

CC, cc charges can be 4-10bucks depending on whether you are member and which CC. Like Marine Parade is expensive. I have played at Jalan Besar (Lavendar), Mountbatten and gonna play at Geylang Serai (Haig Rd) next as it's near my house. Lavendar near mrt with my colleagues.
