      Take My impressions after using the RSL feather shuttle First Step

      Despite the low price, you can enjoy real badminton with it. It is a stable shuttle that bounces off the racket properly, so it is fun to use. However, compared with shuttles made with high-grade feathers, its durability may be inferior.

      Michio Excellent value for money

      Its big strengths are that it is cheap and very durable. Even so, the quality is by no means bad, and it flies well. In terms of value for money, it is probably top class. I can now focus on practice without worrying about using up shuttles. The slightly heavy feel has actually been a plus for practice.

      Sayuri （Experience：Less than a year） Thanks to FIRST STEP, we can focus on practice.

      We are a brand-new club, and what we use for practice is RSL FIRST STEP. The price is set low and the durability is good enough, and although we are still just a friendly social club, I want us to practice properly with FIRST STEP and enter tournaments. It is well made and flies well. I think it is the perfect product for practice.

      Koji （Experience：6-10 years） FIRST STEP is essential for practice.

      The shuttle I mainly use for practice is RSL FIRST STEP. The quality is consistent, and it lasts even when you really put in the work during practice, so the durability is excellent too. It flies well and is cheaper than other makers, so it is essential for practice.

      Yume （Experience：4-5 years） Perfect for practice

      It is famous as a durable shuttle that is hard to break, and its solid construction for the price is something enthusiasts appreciate. The sense of distance and the stability are solid, and it does not wear out easily even when you hit hard. It feels a bit heavy when you hit it, but just like practice swings in baseball, I think that also suits practice.

      Purin （Experience：More than 20 years） The practice shuttle the opposing team uses

      This was the practice shuttle used by a team we played the other day. It was stable, and my impression was that it was not bad at all. It felt a little heavy, but their coach said that is actually effective for practice. I thought that made a lot of sense.

      Shin My experience with FIRST STEP

      Above all, the biggest advantage is its excellent durability. On top of that it is cheap, so it is ideal for practice. The flight is fairly good and there is little variation in quality. The slightly heavy feel also suits practice. I would say it is great value for money.
