"Nose falls off"

The picture is incorrect. The item is for 6 multi-colored shuttlecocks but that picture is for 3 white ones. The pictured items look much nicer than what was sent. I bought two kinds of shuttlecocks for the kids to use in the driveway. The other set (a Halex set for less money) was the better deal. The red noses on these (not as pictured) fall off when they are playing. And for some reason these get stuck in the kids' cheap rackets from the $1 store. 2 stars

"Wrong picture. Cheaply made "birdies.""

Another reviewer pointed out that the items pictured (which have cork tips) are NOT what you receive. You get 6 very cheap colored birdies. On some the tips fall off within one game, on others the tips stay on till the fragile plastic "feathers" wear out after a dozen games.

I don't thing that you want to buy these. After running through the 6 Franklin shuttlecocks in a couple of weeks, we bought the cork-tipped Halex productHalex Shuttlecocks (3-pack) instead and were much happier, even though we are novice players. By the way, the Halex 3-pack, DOES look like the shuttlecocks pictured here (there was no picture available for that product when I wrote this), and have the much sturdier and "springier" cork tips. 2 stars
