It has taken 3 months to fine tune the new mould tools in order to get the process capability right and get a shuttlecock with the playability and durability we were looking for. The result is exciting; lighter and more consistent, giving more stability on net shots and better all around durability. We have identified eight different process factors which affect the impact and flex resistance of the flight mouldings and now we are confident to scale up production for high volume. For retail sales go to www.centralsports.co.uk who will be relaunching the new Bird2, and talk to Nick Goode at www.goode-sport.co.uk for wholesale and overseas distribution.

Just ordered a dozen Bird 2 shuttlecocks, cant wait to try them. Gordon are they any improvements planned for the Bird 3 such as greater durability for the nylon skirt section? Maby instead using materials like bamboo or kevlar that are stronger than nylon but also still flexible. Thanks C ajoku
