YONEXMavis 2000 Nylon Tournament Shuttle-Yellow (1/2 Dozen)

Good purchase with this good quality product!

These shuttles are awesome. I have used many shuttles prior to these, but with these the tips do not come off with smashes!Highly recommend!

High visibility yellow to follow the shuttlecock while playing. Sometimes loose sight of the white ones… these are perfect replacements (upgrades?) to the white ones.

This is a good set of birdies for intermediate players, who while serious about playing, aren't up for spending ~$30 for a tube of feather birdies. These birdies will easily last 6-7 games before showing initial signs of wear, as compared to feather birdies, which at a similar level of play become unplayable after 1-2 games (I tried Aerosensa 50 for comparison). These birdies can still be used for warm up / practice after being slightly worn out, whereas you pretty much have to throw away the feather ones after a few games.The only issue I had is that I couldn't find a tube of the slow birdies (green plastic tape) anywhere on the internet. I found that these medium speed ones are noticeably faster than feather birdies, and wanted to try out the slow birdies for comparison. I'm not sure why no one stocks them.

The Yonex Mavis 2000 nylon shuttles are the best Yonex or any other manufacturer of nylon shuttles have that are closest in resembling a feather shuttle. Note that you will still find differences on how the nylon shuttles differs from a duck or goose feather. If you want durability, you want nylon. Feathers just are not durable, plain and simple. And if you want a nylon that is "like" a feather, you want the 2000. The 2000 flies closest to the feathers and are more durable than feathers.I've played with feathers and nylons, good and poor feathers, good and poor nylons/plastic shuttles. What it comes down to is this...if you are paying, I prefer feather. If I am paying, I prefer the 2000. So...who's paying?Please click YES if my review have been helpful to you, it will encourage me to continue writing and updating my reviews, and leave a comment if you have any questions, I will be more than happy to answer if I can be of help.

Perfect

These work great, no problems at all. The cord head on the birdie is solid.

I've been playing badminton for several years now and have played with both Feather and Nylon shuttles from various makes including Yonex. Comparing Yonex 300, 350 Nylon shuttles to 2000 I can tell the difference these 2000 shuttles are much more balanced and are accurate. The fact that these are long lasting shuttles will give you most for your buck.I found these shuttles to be more accurate than the feather shuttles and the speed was just about right and very near to feather shuttles, these shuttles are quite light when compared to feather shuttles but the sturdy and quality cork keeps them in right place.A must buy for beginners, club players and I know several professionals use these shuttles too.
