At DAYI, we have fine-tuned the art of shuttlecock making and now that we have achieved this new standard, the key to production of the best shuttle lies in feathers and cork heads. We havediscovered that some of the best cork comes from the rind of robur trees commonly found in Portugal. The cork that is commonly used takes about 13 years mature. However, with the growing popularity of badminton, most manufacturers are cutting the maturation time to 6 years. As a result, the quality of the cork does not match up to the quality of year's past.
Champagne companies normally purchase grade 1 cork to use for stoppers. The remaining grade 2 and 3 corks are bought by shuttlecock factories. To add to the mix, badminton rackets, strings and style of play have improved tremendously. Players are faster, stronger and more agile. With the coming of higher quality of play, grade 1 cork is necessary to keep up the"new" badminton, however grade 1 cork would be too expensive to use on a shuttlecock, therefore new technology had to be used to create a comparable cork that can out last the vigorous play of badminton.
At DAYI, after 4 years of extensive research, we have discovered that a multi layer cork can withstand the pounding of today' style of badminton. Multi layered cork comes in 3 layers and 2 layers.
We feel that 3 layers cork it the most durable and comparable to the performance of a grade 1 cork. The 3rd layer is a synthetic cork, able to withstand even the most competitive style of badminton. Therefore, we produce all of our shuttles using layered cork with different grades to meet the demands of today's players.
