    Anyone tried them?

    I ordered 4 tubes to try because a local drop in is having troubles getting shuttles. Currently Mavis 300s are about £7.50 a tube, the M9000 are like £2.50 a tube (excl. delivery), so if they're reasonably good plastic shuttles they'd be amazing value.

    Wondering what they're like before I get them.

    i normally use mavis 10 to piss off @swsh
    other than that, those shuttles are good for playing with walls.

    no. i have never broken any strings with mavis10, its too light to cause a mavis 350 like mishit damage.

    Right, so trying these out, there's one fatal issue.

    The flight is alright, and is stable enough; the skirt is reasonable solid. Unfortunately, the 'skin' on the cork is just not good. It flakes and falls apart quite easily. Real shame.
