Wow it's been months, but I should mention this anyway. I don't think they would use plastic shuttle for this level of play. Heck even regular level club players use feathers. Since these guys are international level players (guy in black is from Britain) it's more than likely to be feathers than plastic. I enjoy faster games without any breaks in between or spending all that money for feathers; I'm only a varsity/university level player after all. Can't pay that much for shuttles all the time.

I disagree with that demon1004 a plastic shuttle is faster in a sense if you are talking about smashing however a crosscourt slice or net shot will drop more if it is a feather shuttle also i think a feather shutle is trickier also because it allows you to add spin and take it away adding a whole range of shots making the game more faster and trickier afterall thats why feather shuttles are used by pro's :D

is that a plastic shuttlecock???

@demon1004 yes now daya many play with plastic cock ie white or green because its faster and trivkier
