Why choosing the right shuttlecock matters
A high-quality shuttlecock influences more than just the flight path. Impact feel, speed, durability and the actual number of shuttlecocks used during training also depend on the selected quality level.
Consistently processed feathers support predictable flight performance and controlled deceleration before the shuttle reaches the opponent.
Good feather quality can reduce consumption because the shuttlecock remains playable for longer during intensive rallies.
Temperature, hall conditions and personal preference determine whether Speed 77 or Speed 78 is the more suitable choice.
Clubs should consider more than the price per tube. The number of rallies and training sessions that can actually be played with each shuttlecock is equally important.

Speed 77 or Speed 78?
The correct shuttlecock speed depends on factors such as hall temperature, altitude and the required flight distance. Speed should always be tested before league or team matches.
Slightly slower
Speed 77 is often selected for normal or warmer hall conditions. It travels slightly more slowly than the equivalent model in Speed 78.
Slightly faster
Speed 78 can be suitable for cooler halls or whenever a shuttlecock in Speed 77 does not travel far enough under the existing conditions.
RSL shuttlecocks for different areas of use
RSL Nova – badminton rackets for different playing levels
In addition to shuttlecocks, RSL also offers badminton rackets within the Nova range. The selection extends from accessible all-round models for beginners and recreational players to more precise or attacking rackets for regular club play.
Rackets currently represent a smaller RSL product area at Racket World than shuttlecocks. This section is therefore intentionally compact and can be expanded if the available selection grows in the future.
