December 2, 2019: After testing the new released DS-50 (our 1st batch), our staff and friends highly recommend this shuttlecock for their durability, flight, and, price. We feel the performance of DS-50 is much better than Yonex Aerosensa 30 in 3 areas mentioned before; Overall, it is quite close to Aerosensa 50. We highly recommend our customers who are looking for quality shuttlecock to try the DS-50. It is Badminton Alley Staff's BEST pick.
DuraSmash is a new brand that is entering the shuttlecock business. The DuraSmash Master DS-50 is a select premium goose feather shuttlecock that offers excellent durability, flight, consistency, and speed. It is targeted to compete with Yonex Aerosensa 40 (AS40) and Aerosensa 50 (AS50).
Recommendation:
To prolong the durability of the shuttlecocks, we highly recommend that all shuttlecocks be humidified 24-48 hours before usage. This will help increase the life/durability of the shuttlecock by up to 70%.
