Badminton Shuttlecocks: Goose Feather vs Duck Feather vs Nylon
Goose feather shuttlecocks
Goose feathers are lighter and more stable in flight, which makes them the usual choice for competitive play and tournaments. They cost more and are less durable than nylon.
Duck feather shuttlecocks
Duck feather shuttles offer a good balance of flight quality and price. They are popular for club and training use.
Nylon shuttlecocks
Nylon shuttles are the most durable and the cheapest per shot, which makes them popular for schools, beginners and outdoor play.
Buying in bulk
Shuttlecocks are commonly sold by the dozen. Ask about the cork head type, feather grade, speed rating and packaging, and request samples before a large order.
