How to Choose the Right Shuttlecock

Nylon (plastic) shuttlecocks last far longer than feather and are the practical choice for most Australian players. Within the MAVIS range, the higher the number, the closer the flight is to natural feather:

• MAVIS 200i / MAVIS 10 — durable, budget-friendly, ideal for beginners, schools, and casual play.
• MAVIS 350 — feather-like flight for competitive club play.
• MAVIS 500 Super — competition-grade stability and speed.
• MAVIS 600 — the flagship nylon shuttle, closest to true feather flight.
• MAVIS 2000 — feather-hybrid: feather feel with nylon durability.

A Note on Shuttle Speed & Australian Conditions

Shuttle speed is affected by temperature and altitude: warmer air needs a slower shuttle, colder air a faster one. For most indoor courts in Australia, a medium-speed nylon shuttle works well year-round. Pair your shuttles with a fresh overgrip and the right Yonex racquet for a complete kit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Nylon or feather shuttlecocks — which should I buy?
Nylon shuttles are far more durable and cost-effective, making them ideal for practice, club, and recreational play. Feather offers the most genuine flight but wears out quickly. Most players choose nylon MAVIS shuttles.

How many shuttlecocks come in a tube?
Yonex MAVIS shuttlecocks come 6 per tube.

Which MAVIS is best for competition?
The MAVIS 600 offers the closest-to-feather flight in the nylon range, while the MAVIS 500 Super is a competition-grade all-rounder.
