Our Shuttlecock Levels

Our 2024 lineup features shuttlecocks across five distinct levels, each tailored to a specific skill set and playing environment. From beginner-friendly options to top-tier tournament-grade shuttles, we've got something for everyone.

 

Level 5: International Grade

The pinnacle of shuttlecock technology, these are used in international tournaments.

  • Yonex AS50 (from £32.10): The market leader, offering unparalleled value for top-tier play.
  • Li-Ning G900 (from £30): A strong alternative to AS50, also used internationally.
  • Victor Master Ace (from £36.00): Nearly matches the top contenders, albeit at a higher price.

Level 3: County Grade

Our most popular grade, these are ideal for club and tournament play.

  • Yonex AS30 (from £22.70): The UK's favourite, always in high demand. Our number 1 selling shuttle always provides that familiar feel and flight. Recommended to Pre-Order with our club team.
  • Li-Ning G700 (from £23.24): A worthy competitor to AS30.

  • Ashaway International 500- (From £26) - Ashaway’s top shuttle as used in BUCS tournaments. 

Level 2: Club Grade

These shuttlecocks are suited for regular play and local club nights, offering a balance of durability and performance.
