The FSC 590 is a mid‑level feather shuttlecock designed for intermediate players, offering an excellent balance between flight consistency and durability. Each bird features high‑quality goose feathers precisely aligned and secured within a composite cork base to deliver a stable, linear flight trajectory well-suited for Malaysian indoor court play (25 °C–30 °C, medium humidity). The combination of goose feather skirt and EVA‑enhanced cork head provides a comfortable impact and responsive bounce—ideal for longer rallies, training drills, and club-level matches. This 12‑piece pack offers great value for regular users like schools, sports clubs, or enthusiastic individuals. FSC 590 is engineered to support both aggressive clears and delicate net play, making it a reliable all‑rounder in Malaysia’s common badminton conditions.

Usage Instructions
-
Prior to play, pre‑humidify shuttlecocks overnight by placing a damp sponge inside the sealed tube (without contact with cork) to maintain optimal feather flexibility and flight.
-
Perform a drop test: drop shuttle from mid‑court—target landing just short of the long doubles service line.
-
Rotate between players during practice to avoid unilateral feather wear.
-
Use only in wind‑free indoor courts; avoid outdoor conditions to preserve flight stability.
-
After play, re‑seal tube immediately, and store in a cool, shaded place to prevent moisture loss.
Precautions & Care
-
Do not expose tubes or shuttlecocks to direct sunlight or heat (>35 °C), which can dry feathers and weaken adhesives.
-
Discard shuttlecocks showing frayed or broken feathers, or erratic flight paths—continued use may cause performance drop or risk injury.
-
Avoid dropping shuttlecocks on hard surfaces tip‑first—this may deform the cork head.
-
Gently wipe feathers with a soft, dry cloth if dust accumulates; do not attempt to wash feathers with water.
