YONEX Mavis 350 Badminton Medium Speed Nylon Shuttlecock, 1 Dozen, 2 Tube

I bought a 1/2 dozen pack about a month ago. The first Shuttle lasted us almost a total of 12hrs when playing a combination of singles/doubles.This is worth the price for durability and reliability. Will definitely buy again.

This review is based on personal experience and I've tried the other model within the Mavis lineups such as the Mavis 300 and Mavis 2000. I consider myself an intermediate player and this model completely blows the other two out of the water with respect to flight trajectory and the sound it makes when hitting it hard. I know, I know...any respectable player out there would not even consider using nylon shuttlecocks for serious gameplay but sometimes you just want to play non-serious casual and not have to break your treasured feather shuttlecocks.Though I have to clarify that the flight pattern and durability is also affected by the climate in which you use these shuttlecocks in. For what it's worth I play in a relatively dry location above sea level and the winter here can get pretty extreme.

My son and I play badminton for fun. These birdies have been very durable. We have played for several weeks so far(we play more than 4 times a week outside) with just one birdie and it has not broken yet. We used to play with the birdies that came with starter sets. There is a huge difference with this. Both of us said, "Wow, these are great compared to the ones we used to play with!" They are a bit on the slower side, but that works for us. They also need to be hit harder for them to fly further, which is also not a big deal for us, as my son hits it hard every time anyways, and other birdies would just break. A good buy overall. We will see how long they will last from now on.

This is a good birdie/shuttlecock for badminton. Has lasted well. Have been playing with the same brand for over 2 years. Can take a beating. Has always come in the proper packing. It is a bit expensive and therefore I was going to give it 4 stars instead of 5 but left it at 5 given the relative price of other birdies with similar price. Handles well during the game. Definitely will choose the yellow over the white, much easier to see during the same. Some of you may have a preference for the white due to past play experience but lot harder to see the white birdies during the game. Compared to feather birdies - it's a personal preference. But we usually go through one feather bird in one game vs. this which can last at least many games over a few days. We play at least 2-3 hours a day 3 times a week. Have fun and enjoy badminton!Pros:long lastingavailable in yellow - easier to seeas close to feather feel for plastic materialCons:cost

LOVE IT! Worth Every extra dollar that I paid vs any cheap plastic alternative at the store! Usually we go through at least a pack of four (or six) a season when using the substitute and we do not even play that much (not every day basically). So, at the last summer's end when we were on our last store bought shuttle, I decided to go ahead and try these out... It was amazing what we put our first new shuttle through and there was not even a dent on it!!! Wow! I think we just got our favorite 6 pack that will last us for quite some time!!! One downside though: no longer we get a pleasure of watching our store bought shuttles explode or collapse in a mid-air hit... Bummer! But we will just have to get over it by having more fun playing and enjoying the game itself...:)

We went through Yonex feather shuttlecocks very quickly. Only one shuttle per day we could use for a paltry 30 minutes of play. It did not make sense economically to keep buying those. So did some research on what else we could buy. Those cheap plastic / nylon ones which come with rackets (from walmart or fivebelow) are terrible and I would never suggest anyone to use those.I bit the bullet and bought these 5 pack of nylon and we are still on our first one and have played like total 4 Hours till now (across multiple days). They have held really well and we usually play indoors (in the racket ball court). Will recommend these for people who play for leisure / fun. They should last longer than your plastic shuttles and are very good.

I generally use the real feather shuttle-cocks bur the problem is they dont last for long and one has to keep changing them frequently. So I thought of trying these plastics shuttles and they seem to be fine. You can continue playing with them endlessly and you may not have to got for a new one for more than a week !!! Although they do not fly the way the feather shuttle-cocks do but for amateurs like me it hardly matters and we wont be able to spot the difference in the flying trajectory for mots of the time. The good part is that they also come in size of six each pack and this will last for quite some time for occasional player like me. Also comes in two colors-choose from yellow or white.

The product is not at all good. We played just two games and the shuttle was damaged and it started wiggling. We thought it might be defective one so we took another one and it gave us similar experience. Thankfully the third shuttle worked better.In short 66% were defective (3 of 2 were defective)
