Li-Ning Future 10 Nylon Shuttlecock (Yellow, Pack of 6)

I feel this is overall a better shuttle than the Mavis 350.The Future 10 definitely is A LOT more durable than the Mavis 350, and I prefer the way it sounds as well. The Future10 is also faster in rallies but it slows down quicker than the Mavis during drops (from a high lift or clear). Plus, at the time of writing this review, the Future10 is a few hundred bucks cheaper. So, take your pick.I’ve noticed on courts that people have a tendency to throw away or disregard the Future 10 and whip out a Mavis because they’re too used to playing with the Mavis and aren’t too comfortable putting in the time to adjust to a different shuttle - while it is understandable, it is also frustrating. Goes to show how deep these biases run. Most reviews on this product page compare it to the gold standard as well - the Mavis 350 (which is gold standard for good reason!).

Absolutely best shuttle out there. Totally worth it. Great flight slow and steady for fast professional games. Very durable 1 lasts for almost 12-14 hard games

I am writing this review after using all six shuttlecocks.The Li-Ning Future 10 nylon shuttlecock offers a mix of durability and performance, making it a noteworthy option for casual and intermediate players. However, it has some specific characteristics worth considering:Flight Pattern: One of the standout features of the Future 10 is its flight pattern, which closely mimics that of feather shuttlecocks. This quality enhances the overall gameplay experience, particularly for players accustomed to the feel of feather shuttles.Durability: The skirt of the shuttlecock is impressively durable, retaining its shape even during extended play. However, the cork tends to soften after about an hour of use, which affects its performance consistency. Despite this, the overall durability of the shuttlecock is excellent, making it capable of withstanding long rallies.Performance: Compared to the Yonex Mavis 350, the Li-Ning Future 10 is slightly slower, which can be noticeable during competitive play. Initially, it produces a crisp sound that adds to the feel of the game, but this fades over time, reducing the auditory feedback players enjoy.Overall Impression: While the Li-Ning Future 10 is a durable and well-performing shuttlecock for its category, it still falls short of being a direct replacement for the Mavis 350. The latter’s quality, though reportedly declining, remains superior in terms of speed and long-term play consistency. The Future 10, however, offers good value and is a solid choice for practice sessions or casual matches.

It’s more durable than Mavis 350 but very slow.

We have been using Mavis 350 for about three years, but the quality has gradually deteriorated over time. We tried other options like the 350i, 600, and Li-Ning Neo, but none came close to the performance of the original Mavis 350.Finally, Future 10 feels like a worthy alternative. It is 80-90% similar to last year’s Mavis 350, with even better durability. However, the downside is that the shuttle feels slightly heavy and a bit slow, requiring more strength and precision to hit it to the court's end.That said, it’s an excellent choice for players who enjoy long rallies and prioritize durability.

I got tired on Mavis 350 degrading quality. Thus I shifted to this. Both shuttles are equally durable. Both starts breaking similarly at skirt end. Only difference I found was the consistency in flight after few matches.Even after 4-5 matches, future 10 shuttle travels at same speed. You need not worry much about lifting to too back. Whereas Mavis travels too fast after 3-4 matches and travels out of court even with slightest push. Future 10 will save you from this irritation for sure.

All the shuttles I received was damaged

The durability is excellent. Better than mavis 350. The shuttle is slower than mavis 350 which is a good thing and the more it gets older it gets slightly faster and matches the speed of mavis 350. The flight of this shuttle is almost identical to mavis 350. Me and my fellow players did some tests but flight seems to be similar to mavis. The shuttle feels solid on striking which is why some players might say that it is heavier but it's the same weight. I feel the heavier feeling comes from the solid skirt this shuttle has which increases the shuttle life. Overall I am going to replace mavis 350 with future 10 in all my games. I have a playing since 2011 and in total have an experience of about 7-8 years intermitantly playing with mavis 350. But now I feel due to quality, cost, monopoly and fake mavis 350 issues its time to change.
