Movement
Traditional feathered shuttlecocks come from live birds, often plucked in a cruel and painful process. Up to 54 geese or ducks suffer for a single game, and the industry also exploits child labor. At Airchy, we only use feathers from the food industry and are working towards cruelty-free synthetic alternatives. Join the #AirchyEthicalBirdie Movement to end this cycle of suffering.

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- The shuttlecock played a few beats after the ball hair will fly cracked, so we must timely hand strands neatly.
