Classic Tourney 78 Unisex Shuttlecock

The RSL Classic Tourney 78 is a high‑end feather shuttlecock engineered for elite club and tournament-level badminton. Crafted with premium-grade goose feathers, each shuttlecock undergoes a rigorous 19-step selection and inspection process for perfect aerodynamic consistency and minimal imperfections. Its composite cork base absorbs impact softly yet responsively, delivering a refined feel and precise bounce on impact. Speed 78 offers slightly faster trajectory compared to standard 77, ideal for players in Malaysia’s typical indoor climate (~25 °C–30 °C, moderate humidity). The unisex design ensures suitability for both male and female players, providing excellent control in slams, clears, drops, and net play. Known for its outstanding durability, the Classic Tourney reduces shuttlecock consumption for clubs and training venues. It is trusted in international and national-level competitions for its premium performance and consistency.

Material & Construction

• Feathers: 16 top‑grade goose feathers per bird, individually selected and hand‑aligned to ensure balanced flight and durability

• Cork Head: Composite cork (natural cork core with polyurethane/EVA margin) offering a crisp, comfortable strike and shock absorption

• Adhesive: Humidity‑resistant bonding agents designed to withstand Malaysia’s humid indoor environments

Speed & Suitability

• Speed Rating: 78 (medium‑fast), suitable for sea‑level indoor courts in Malaysia with average temperatures and humidity

• Retains good trajectory during long rallies; best used in climate-controlled, wind-free indoor halls

Dimensions & Weight (Typical Values)

• Feather length per unit: approx. 62–70 mm

• Feather skirt diameter (outer): ~58 mm

• Cork head diameter: ~25–26 mm

• Weight per shuttlecock: 4.75 g to 5.50 g (± 5%) in line with international badminton standards

• Tube packaging (12 pcs): ~38 cm tall × ~7 cm diameter; net weight ~60–70 g

Usage Instructions

1. Pre‑humidify overnight by placing a moist sponge within the sealed tube (ensure no direct contact with cork).

2. Conduct a drop test: drop shuttle from mid‑court—ideally lands just short of the long doubles service line.

3. Rotate shuttlecocks among players to ensure even feather wear.

4. Use only in indoor, wind‑controlled courts — avoid outdoor play to preserve flight performance.

5. After each session, re‑seal the tube and store in a cool, shaded place to maintain feather moisture and integrity.

Precautions & Care Tips

• Avoid exposing tubes or shuttlecocks to direct heat or sunlight (>35 °C), which may dry out feathers or weaken adhesives.

• Discontinue use when feathers become frayed, cracked, or misaligned, or when flight path becomes unpredictable—reducing safety and quality.

• Avoid dropping shuttlecock head-down on hard surfaces to prevent cork deformation.

• Keep feathers clean by wiping gently with a soft, dry cloth; do not wet feathers to avoid damage to structure.

Ideal Applications

• Competitive club-level and tournament play

• Advanced training sessions and precision drills (e.g. smashes, drops, clears)

• Suitable for both male and female players (unisex design)

• Cost-effective approach for high-volume play due to excellent durability
