Dylan Windsor

I've been playing recreational badminton for a few years now and I've tried a bunch of different shuttlecock brand to find the right fit for me, but I have to say, I am really impressed with the quality and performance of Airchy. Not only are they incredibly durable and long-lasting, but they also provide excellent flight stability and accuracy.

I heard wonders about the Airchy brand and have recently tried it with some members of my badminton club, and I have to say that we are really impressed. We noticed that Airchy is a lot more durable and long-lasting than the other brands we've used in the past. However, as someone who has played in low light conditions before, we'd love to see some variation color-wise, a brighter colored shuttlecock for those who play in dimly lit areas. Despite this, I'm still very happy with the quality of the shuttlecocks and will continue to use them.

Badminton is not a cheap sport. I've been playing it for years and I always loved using goose feather shuttlecocks because of the flight stability it offers, and we all know how expensive this type of shuttlecock can be. So imagine my surprise when I heard about Airchy. Not only do they provide the same level of flight stability and accuracy as other known brands, but they are also arguably the most affordable goose feather shuttlecocks I have come across. I highly recommend Airchy to any badminton players who want to get the most for their buck without sacrificing quality.

Airchy is my new favorite shuttlecock brand! Not only do they provide incredible durability and accuracy, they are also long-lasting like other premium brands. What's even better is the fact that they took the time to create reusable tubes for the shuttlecocks. The tubes are made of sturdy plastic with a screw-on cap. I no longer have to worry about damaging my shuttlecocks during transport. It is also great to know that I'm not contributing to unnecessary waste by using these reusable tubes.

Frequently Ask Questions

• How long do Airchy shuttlecocks last?

  The lifespan of a shuttlecock depends on several factors, such as the frequency of use, the level of play, and how well it is cared for. Another main factor that determines the lifespan of a shuttlecock is the quality of the feathers used. Airchy’s  badminton shuttlecocks are made with high-quality goose feathers, making them more durable and longer lasting than the other shuttlecock brands.

• How do I choose the right shuttlecock for my skill level?

  There are three main things to consider: speed, level of play, and the brand.

  Speed: Choose the right  shuttlecock speed, the common  shuttlecock speed is 76 speed/77 speed/78 speed or 1 speed/2 speed, 1 speed is close to 76 speed, 2 speed is close to 77 speed. In addition, there are also some  shuttlecock speeds that are less common, such as -1 speed, 0 speed, 3 speed, 74 speed, 75 speed.

  Different levels of play require different speeds of  shuttlecock Higher level of play or more skilled players are suited to use faster speed  shuttlecock, while beginner play or beginners are suited to use slower speed  shuttlecock.
  
  Level of Play: Different levels of play will require different types of shuttlecocks. Playing at a high level of competition will require you to use a shuttlecock that is designed for professional play. On the other hand, if you’re playing at a recreational level, you may not need such high performance shuttlecocks.

  Brand: Before committing to just one brand, it would be best to to try and test out different brands to see which one works best for you.

• Can I use the same shuttlecock for both indoor and outdoor play?

  Technically, yes. You can use the same badminton shuttlecock for both indoor and outdoor use, although it isn’t recommended. Playing conditions for indoor and outdoor play can e quite different, thus using the same shuttlecock can affect its flight performance and durability.

  Indoor shuttlecocks are designed to be faster and more responsive. Outdoor shuttlecocks on the other hand, are designed to be more durable and resistant to wind.

• How can I extend the lifespan of my shuttlecocks?

  Improve the shuttlecock endurance of a few practical methods:

   

  1.  Increase the humidity of feathers. When the humidity is high, it is more durable, when the humidity is low, it is easy to break the feathers, and the goose feather ball will be very brittle in the dry day. Badminton feathers are easily broken because they are placed in the cylinder, and become very dry after a long time, and the feather part is very brittle, so it is easy to be broken.
  2. The day before playing or a few hours before using a spray bottle to watering flowers around the ball hair evenly sprayed a small amount of water, and then inverted in the plane, and so the water is dry, and then put back into the box, but do not let the water flow into the inside of the ball bracket, and do not put the ball into the water “bath”, or the ball becomes cotton.
  3. You can also play the ball before the shuttlecock buckled upside down in a kettle with boiling water on the spout, with the steam to the shuttlecock hair smoked a little wet, so that the shuttlecock played up after the hair is not easy to break, the rod is not easy to change the Soviet Union, the ball will not be able to play the ball.
  4. The shuttlecock played a few beats after the ball hair will fly cracked, so we must timely hand strands neatly.

• How to choose shuttlecock speed?

  The selection of shuttlecock speed needs to consider the following aspects:

  Sports ground: different grounds have different effects on the speed and trajectory of shuttlecock Hard ground, grass, sand, etc. need to choose different speeds of shuttlecock to adapt.

  Sports level and players’ skills: different levels of competition require different speeds of shuttlecock . High level games or athletes with higher skills are suitable for faster shuttlecock , while beginner games or beginners are suitable for slower shuttlecock .

  Environmental factors: including altitude, air pressure, air humidity and temperature. Generally speaking, the higher the altitude, the lower the air pressure, the higher the air humidity or the higher the temperature, the lower ball speed badminton should be chosen.

  In addition, the number marked on the shuttlecock cylinder represents the flight speed of the shuttlecock , the smaller the number the slower the speed, and vice versa the faster. Common shuttlecock speed markings are 76, 77, 78 and so on.

  To summarize, when choosing the shuttlecock speed of shuttlecock , we should consider the sports ground, the level of sports, the skills of athletes and environmental factors and other aspects.
