If you are an ardent fan of badminton and love to play the sport, you must be looking for the best rackets and shuttlecocks. Although we are mostly concerned about the racket, it is also important to pay attention to the kind of shuttlecocks we use. Prokick Sports has an excellent collection of branded shuttlecocks online and you can easily pick the best variety at attractive rates.

 How Do You Choose a Shuttlecock?

The choice will certainly depend on your expertise and playing level. For beginners and badminton enthusiasts, strong shuttlecocks are ideal for the first few games. However, if you practice regularly, you not only need strong shuttlecocks but comfortable ones. The impact of the shuttlecock on your racket must be easy. In the case of professional players, feather shuttlecocks with cork heads are an ideal choice.

 Plastic vs Feather Shuttlecocks

While choosing shuttlecocks online, you are generally presented with two options, feather and plastic ones. There is a clear difference between the two materials. Not only do they look different, but there is also a difference in its trajectory and impact.

 Shuttle Speed

You must consider the shuttle speed before selecting any shuttlecock online. Although the speed varies with altitude, temperature and humidity, the speed is generally mentioned at the bottom of the cock tube. The speed ranges between 75 and 79.

 Depending on your location, you need to choose the ideal shuttle speed. Slow shuttle speeds of 75 are generally best for very hot countries. Similarly, faster speeds of 78-79 is chosen for cold countries. Having mentioned this, it is important to note that shuttle speed depends on the player’s expertise and therefore, you may need to choose speeds that are best suited to your requirement.  

 How to Ensure Longevity of Shuttlecocks?

If you want truly durable shuttlecocks with better trajectory and stability, you need to invest in good brands such as Yonex MAVIS 350 cocks. To ensure longevity, open both ends of the tube of shuttlecocks and store it in a cool and humid place. Remember to air dry the cocks for 24 to 48 hours before using them.
