Choosing the right OEM feather shuttlecock is one of the most important decisions for badminton brands, wholesalers, and distributors. A shuttlecock’s quality directly affects user experience, customer reviews, and repeat purchase rate. Here’s what you should look at when selecting OEM products for your brand.
1. Feather Source and Selection
High-grade goose feathers come from large white geese, while duck feathers are better for training and recreational products. A good OEM factory should clearly identify:
feather type
feather grade
feather wing (left/right)
whiteness level
These details decide stability and durability.
2. Cork Quality
Look for a natural cork head or composite cork with consistent rebound. Cork hardness, elasticity and smoothness all impact flight.
3. Flight Performance Testing
Your factory must conduct at least:
speed test
trajectory stability test
rotation consistency test
If the factory cannot provide these, the quality is unreliable.
4. Seasonal Speed Adjustment
Different regions require different speeds (76/77/78).
A professional OEM shuttlecock manufacturer will adjust for temperature and humidity.
5. Packaging & Branding
OEM shuttlecocks should offer:
logo printing on cork
tube design
box customization
color, matte/gloss, anti-counterfeit
Good branding raises your retail price and improves customer trust.
If you want to build your own shuttlecock brand, choosing the right OEM feather shuttlecock is the first step.
