What is the RSL Classic Club?
The Classic Club is a feather shuttlecock built for the place most UK badminton is actually played: the weekly club night. It sits below RSL's BWF-approved match shuttles, the RSL Classic Tourney and RSL Tourney No.1, and above RSL's training shuttles, the DTL 85 and DTL 8A. The aim is real feather flight at a price a club can sustain all season.
It arrives alongside RSL's other new shuttle, the RSL Hybird 5 hybrid. Between them, clubs now have a feather option and a hybrid option for club night from the same brand Badminton England uses across its tournament structure.

- Durable: built for regular use and extended sessions.

Classic Club or Hybird 5?
Both are new RSL club-night shuttles, built for different jobs:
- Choose the Classic Club if your members want a full feather shuttle on club night and for league practice, so they train with the same flight they play matches with.
- Choose the Hybird 5 if your sessions are hard-hitting, mixed-ability or coaching-heavy and feathers break too fast. It keeps natural feathers but adds nylon reinforcement, and it is cheaper per tube.
Many clubs will run both: Hybird 5 for warm-ups, drills and social courts, Classic Club for the top courts and league practice. Our hybrid vs feather cost-per-game guide shows how to test which saves your club more.
Speed 77 or 78?
Buy speed 77 for warm halls and speed 78 for cool halls. Most UK sports halls are cool from autumn to spring, so 78 is the common winter choice. Test with a full underarm hit from the back line: the shuttle should land just short of the opposite back line. Full method in our shuttlecock speed guide.
Make your tubes last
Feather shuttles last longest when they are stored cool and slightly humid, never next to a radiator or in a hot car. See how to make feather shuttlecocks last longer.
