Highlights

The teaching and backyard shuttle

A coaching session puts shuttles into the floor, the ceiling and the net posts. A beginner mis-hits half of them. Buying the top grade for that is money into the bin - the 250 is the shuttle to learn on and to lose in the garden.

Natural cork base

Even at the entry grade Yonex use cork, which is what makes it feel like badminton rather than a toy.

Entry grade

The least durable of the three Mavis grades, and by a long way the cheapest.

Tube of 6

The standard Yonex tube.

For learning and casual play

Coaching, schools, beginners and backyard games, where shuttles take punishment.

Product description

About this product

Mavis 250 Nylon Shuttlecock – in stock at 361 Degrees Adventure in Tanzania.

The Mavis 250 is the entry grade in Yonex-s nylon shuttlecock range, and it exists for a specific and sensible reason: some shuttles are going to get destroyed.

In a coaching session, a school class or a first month of playing, shuttles go into the floor, into the net, into the ceiling and over the fence. Mis-hits bend skirts. Nobody is judging the flight against a feather shuttle because nobody hitting them can tell yet. Buying the top-grade shuttle for that is simply spending money on durability you are not going to use before the shuttle is lost or trodden on.

It still uses a natural cork base with a nylon skirt, which is the thing that keeps it a real badminton shuttle rather than a toy. Cork gives the shuttle the feel off the strings that synthetic bases do not, and Yonex keep it even at this grade.

Be clear about the limits. It is the least durable and least consistent of the three Mavis grades – Yonex position it below the 300 and well below the 2000, and the flight is noticeably less refined. If you play regularly at a club, the 300 is worth the difference. If you are teaching, learning, or knocking about in a garden, this is the right shuttle.

As with every shuttle here, buy the slow grade. Tanzanian air is warm and thin all year, and a medium or fast shuttle flies long past the baseline. That is the commonest equipment mistake in badminton in this country.

Questions

Good to know

Which shuttle speed suits Tanzania?

The slow grade. Shuttle speed is matched to air density: warm, thin air needs a slower shuttle and cold, dense air a faster one. Dar es Salaam air is warm all year, so a medium or fast shuttle flies long and past the baseline. Yonex mark the slow grade with a green cap.

How does the 250 compare with the 300 and the 2000?

It is the entry grade. The 2000 is the most durable and flies closest to feather, the 300 sits in the middle and is what most clubs buy, and the 250 is for beginners, training and backyard play. It is the least durable and least consistent of the three - and by a long way the cheapest.

Who should buy the 250 rather than the 300?

Beginners, schools, coaching sessions where shuttles get hit into the floor and the ceiling, and anyone playing casually in a garden or a driveway. If you play competitively at a club, spend the extra on the 300.

How many are in a tube?

Six, the standard Yonex tube.

Do these have a cork base?

Yes - natural cork with a nylon skirt. Cork is what gives the shuttle its feel off the strings. Synthetic-cork Mavis models are sold in some markets; this is not one of them.

How should I store shuttles in this climate?

In their tube, in the shade, away from heat. Nylon skirts deform if a tube is left in a hot car, and a deformed skirt flies crooked.

How do I know when a nylon shuttle is finished?

When the skirt is split or permanently bent, or when it starts flying short or curving. Nylon fails quietly rather than shedding feathers - if the flight has changed, retire it.

Do you deliver in Dar es Salaam?

Yes. We deliver across Dar es Salaam and ship nationwide to Arusha, Mwanza, Dodoma, Zanzibar and beyond. You can also collect from our shop.
