🏸 Find the right badminton shuttle – how to choose correctly!

Finding the right badminton shuttlecock is not as simple as it might sound.
Prices for feather shuttlecocks have increased significantly in recent years, and many players find it difficult to choose a shuttle that matches both price, quality, and level.

There is a big difference in what you get out of the different types of shuttlecocks, and many players end up choosing shuttlecocks that are too expensive for their needs.
It’s not always worth using top-tier shuttlecocks if you play at a recreational level.

At SportYouUp, we have therefore put together a range of Li-Ning shuttlecocks in top quality, where you get the best combination of feel, durability, and price – whether you are a recreational player, youth player, or elite athlete.

Speed – find the right shuttle speed

In addition to choosing the right type of shuttlecock, you also need to consider which speed suits you and your hall best.
The speed of a badminton shuttlecock has nothing to do with quality – it only determines how fast the shuttle travels through the air.
Even the best tournament shuttlecocks are available in different speeds, depending on where in the world and under what conditions they are used.

As a rule of thumb:

If you play in a warm hall, you should choose a slower shuttle (77), as warm air expands and makes the shuttle fly faster.

If you play in a cold hall, you should choose a faster shuttle (78), as cold air makes the shuttle fly slower.

This means you don’t necessarily need to play with the same speed all year – some clubs even switch speeds between summer and winter.
The most important thing is that the shuttle matches the conditions, so you get a consistent and natural game without having to compensate for shuttles that are too fast or too slow.
