RSL Shuttlecocks

What makes RSL special is that they have a tolerance of 0 for the quality of goose feathers. In other manufacturers, the tolerance is 2-6 feathers (out of 16 feathers on a feather shuttlecock) from each goose, depending on quality. The 0 tolerance applies to RSL Classic, as well as T.1 and T.2. Statistically, it requires 350 geese for a single RSL Classic feather shuttlecock! But don't worry. All 4 feathers from the goose are still used, just for the slightly cheaper models. It just shows what quality control and quality awareness that RSL is so world renowned for. 

What speed should I choose and how should they be stored?

Shuttlecocks from RSL often come in different speeds. At The Badminton Shop, we have chosen the most popular ones, which are 77 and 78 from RSL. 

77 stands for medium-slow
78 stands for medium-fast

In the summer, the slightly faster shuttlecocks are often used, whereas in winter the opposite is true. But in order for you to get the most out of your shuttlecocks, it is important that you store them properly. 

Shuttlecock Storage

Don’t store in: 
- Low temperatures
- Direct sunlight
- Boiler rooms
- Heating cabinets
- Very dry rooms
- Cold cars

Do store in:
- Hydro boxes
- The bathroom
- Humid basement or outhouse

If you follow these tips, your cheap RSL shuttlecocks will last longer and not break as fast. They may fray, but can be straightened out again and used, meaning you save money in the long run. This is why we always recommend not saving money on shuttlecocks, as you can save money in the long run by buying the best and most expensive shuttlecocks such as RSL Classic.
