Guys here it is plain and simple.

1) Buy a tube or two or low level shuttles and test them properly. That means test for speed, flight and consistency by hitting from the back line (see my video if you don't know how to test a shuttle). Record how many are good and how many you wouldn't use in a match, but maybe use on a club night. Record how many do not meet the requirements in terms of speed and flight.

2) Use the shuttles in matches and record how many you use.

3) Now look at the data. Did you buy a true dozen or did you find one or two, or more shuttles that did not meet match standards? How did the shuttles hold up in match condsitions. Did you use one shuttle per game or less.

4) Repeat the exercise with every new tube you buy until you have good data from which to make a decision.

My guess is when you do this exercise properly, is that the higher priced shuttles will demonstrate their superior value. And, at the end of the day, don't we all want value for money rather than the cheapest price?
