Yonex AS-10

Found the following birdie in the badminton hall and adding it for documentation purposes.

Have not use the AS-10 before.




Li-Ning A-80 (***Updated***)


In the past we tried a tube of the A-80 upon recommendation from a 3rd party - hence reason for no pix of the birdie!

The shuttle provided an extremely nice feel when hit. 

Unfortunately durability was not one of it's main attributes. We had to replace a shuttle upon almost every smash which was above average strength (not even hard yet)???

Discovered the following sample in one of smaller halls this morning!

The A80 has a 2-layer cork structure.

Yang Yang 300B and Li-Ning A300

Both the Yang Yang 300B and Li-Ning A300 are known to be good shuttles.

Both are heavier than the average shuttle and provides a good feel upon hitting them.

Both provide good pleasure for the game thou prices vary depending on locality.

In the past I came across "hear-say" that Li-Ning obtained the A300 from the Yang Yang 300B? Hence reason for the following cut-up of the shuttles below.

Yang Yang 300B vs Li-Ning A300 (LHS->RHS)

No need for intro
The Yang Yang has 3-layers whilst the Li-Ning only 2-layers. So not exactly twins!

Please note the Yang Yang 300B has recently changed their design on the tubes and the review is of an older variation of the same model.
