Basic Info:

  • Official Info: Anhui Hengda Sports Goods Co., Ltd
  • Available for Sale from various retailers on TaoBao: Purchased one tube from 皇冠卖家
  • Goose Feather - "Knife Ling"
    • Knife Ling = Asymetrical Feather where one side of the feather is smaller than the other. This should theoretically create a better flying shuttle
  • Price: ~60 RMB or $11 CAD from Taobao + Shipping
  • All shuttles were purchased by me with no affiliation with any third parties
  • Update 2016-12-12: At this point, I'm just trying to get rid of these shuttles as they barely last one smash
  • Conclusion: DO NOT BUY THIS BIRD. It does not last and can't even survive a smash.
