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

Equivalent to feathered birdies.

Good purchase with this good quality product!

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.

I'll start off by saying that I usually buy Wilson Championship birdies. Since it was winter, I wasn't able to find any in the stores and Amazon didn't carry them either so I decided to give Yonex a try. Here are the pro's and con's of both Yonex and how it compares to the WilsonPros:Durable - My badminton matches get quite intense with very hard hitting and these last quite a few games before tearing. They seem to last a bit longer than the Wilson ones, so point goes to Yonex.Price - When I bought these, they were the only ones I could find and at the normal retail price. Since both retail for the same amount I can't give this to either. It seems to be easier to find the Yonex online though.Cons:Speed - I like my birdies fast and it seems like the Medium speed Wilson are faster and go further than the Yonex Medium Speed. I'd give the point to Wilson on this one.Overall it comes down to speed and durability. I like the durability of Yonex, but if I had to choose I would get the Wilson birdies.

Perfect

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!

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.

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