Flight: A+,good flight trajectory.
Durability: 1 birdie can last 2-3 games,feather not easy to break, still stable and playable after several feathers are broken.
I recommend it.

The GOGO shuttlecocks performed beyond my expectations.
They fared better than those I paid 50% more for. I will definitely order more for myself and my club. Greatly recommended!!
Most shuttles that we have used will last maybe 1 game at the most but the first GOGO that we used lasted 4 games!!
I'm really tempted to pay a little more for the higher grade shuttles and find out how they perform but meanwhile, we are really enjoying the BS01's.
However, be sure to "steam" them first.

I agreee with most low reviews.. I bought about 10 dozen. They tend to break after 2-3 smashes, so I had to steam them which made them decent... almost mandatory for these birds. A few would last 8 points, but very inconsistent. A few will have slight wobble in flight (1 out of a dozen, but low intermediates won't notice). Feathers are medium-thin thickness. Most advanced players (those that have played tournaments) won't play with them at all. Ok for beginners to almost high intermediate. Flight is ok, I'd say around B,B+. Durability B-,C+. Consistency B-.

Good for the price, good for warm ups, but can be frustrating for more advanced players. I don't mind hitting with them for most casual-competitive games, but would need a more solid feel and stable flight in high intermediate games - games that have a couple consistent jump smashes.

How can some claim these birds are more durable while others say less?!? Turns out they're both right. These are made of duck feathers instead of the more common goose. Goose feathers should be stronger (required to carry the bigger bird), but the additional bleach used on goose strips more of the natural oils away. Duck feathers are a bit thicker, which seems to mean humidifying them is far more important. If you don't, the feathers break right off. If you do (well), they can last much longer. This seems normal for duck feathers. Steaming can be done with a tea kettle for about a minute the day before playing, but a cool humidifier is even better without the heat affecting the glue - you can also spritz water in tube after emptying not to soak bird caps (storing in bathroom with shower also helps).

Flight and Consistency of these highly rated birds are excellent, but missing the solid feel needed for tournament play. My local club is switching to these for practice - even our top players have been impressed. Since these cost less than even plastic (other duck birds, like the Head SuperGrade, Yonex Aero 10 and Club, cost twice as much and yet are less durable) even the budget minded can now play only with feathered birds (important to get proper feel). Sold by direct U.S. reseller (most birds made in China but GoGo is Chinese company). Direct price is just over 7 bills for a case (50 tubes) and just under for two (100 tubes), with shipping included. I'd recommend you give these a try.

I bought these items for training/exercise purposes.
They work just fine. Comparing to the price I payed nothing
more I can expect.

Yes you will really love this shuttle. This will change your game and make it really nice and easy to hit it. It's flight path is appropriate for any game. My friends always want this shuttle when they are playing badminton.

I notice when I play with the professional guys, because they can hit at the head of the shuttlecock, then we can play quite long time; however, when I play with the learners, they hit on the feather often, and this shuttlecock is not resistant to this kind of hit strong enough. However, I think it could be catalog into "good"

The GOGO BS01 shuttlecocks are great for me and my children. We are just playing for fun and have an outside net set up. The shuttlecocks are much better than the plastic ones that came with our badminton set. I also was pleased with the great condition the product arrived to my door.

I like to play badminton in my yard but I prefer the real feather shuttles to those sill plastic and rubber toys. I had some old feather shuttles a friend lent me but since they are real feathers they don't last forever. You can't find feather shuttles at Wal-mart so I ordered these GoGo shuttles from ATAFA (via Amazon.com) and I'm very pleased with them. The fly true and they last for more than a few games. I'd recommend these to anyone looking for a good recreational or practice shuttlecock.

The shuttlecock is much better than what I've used. But, there was no tracking service for it. Provider should've done it.
