It comes in speed 76.

Quick answer

A dozen duck-feather shuttlecocks with a composite cork head, in speed 76. Consistent flight and good durability for club and practice play. It is a reliable everyday feather shuttle, not a premium goose-feather tournament shuttle.

Specifications

Who it's for

• Club and practice players who go through shuttles regularly and want consistent flight at a fair price.
• Coaches and academies buying by the dozen for training.
• Beginner to intermediate and district-level players.

Who should skip it

• Players needing a premium goose-feather shuttle for high-level tournaments. Duck-feather shuttles are durable and consistent but do not match the flight feel of a top goose-feather shuttle.
• Anyone playing only occasionally who would be better served by a nylon shuttle for longer life.

FAQ

How many shuttlecocks are in a box?

One dozen, 12 shuttlecocks.

Is the Victor Swan duck feather or goose feather?
Duck feather. It offers good durability and consistency for club and practice play at a lower price than goose-feather shuttles.

Is it good for tournaments?
It is well suited to club, practice and district-level play. For top-tier tournaments, a premium goose-feather shuttle is the usual choice.

What is the price per shuttle?
At ₹1,750 for a box of 12, each shuttle works out to about ₹146.

Which speed should I choose?
Speed 76 suits moderate temperatures and covers most of India for most of the year. In cold conditions, such as north Indian winters, shuttles fly slower, so many clubs move up to 77. In very hot halls, 75 keeps the shuttle from flying long. Test it with a full underarm hit from the back line: a correct-speed shuttle lands just short of the opposite doubles long service line.

How long does a Victor Swan shuttle last?
It depends mostly on how hard the players hit and how the shuttles are stored. In club play, a duck-feather shuttle usually lasts a few games before the flight starts to drift. Hard-smashing doubles uses them faster. Store tubes in a cool, shaded place, because heat and dry air make feathers brittle.

Can I use it outdoors?
Feather shuttles are made for indoor courts. Wind pushes them off line, and rough outdoor surfaces damage the feathers quickly. For outdoor play, a nylon shuttle is the better buy.
