The Victor Carbonsonic NCS Pro (often labeled as the New CarbonSonic Pro) is Victor's highly acclaimed, competition-grade synthetic feather shuttlecock. Positioned right in the sweet spot of the CarbonSonic lineup, it sits above the base NCS and directly below the flagship NCS Max.
The NCS Pro gained massive industry credibility by becoming the first-ever synthetic feather shuttlecock used in official international competition, serving as the official shuttle for the U15 category at the Badminton Asia Junior Championships. It is engineered specifically to replace traditional feather shuttles by mimicking their exact weight, flight trajectory, and "crack" sound while drastically cutting down gear costs.
Performance Profile
- True Natural Spin & Trajectory: Unlike traditional nylon/plastic shuttles that wobble or fly too flat, the NCS Pro delivers a clean, true parabolic arc. Its computer-modeled weight distribution ensures natural spin and a predictable drop-velocity near the baseline, mimicking a mid-to-high-end goose feather shuttle (like a Yonex AS-30).
- The 100-Shot Rally Durability: Because carbon fiber stems do not fracture and the LDPE vanes are incredibly tear-resistant, the NCS Pro easily survives high-intensity smash sessions. Professional testing has shown a single shuttle can withstand rallies of over 100 mid-to-long-range shots without deforming or losing its flight shape.
- Authentic Sound: The rigidity of the carbon fiber cage matching against the composite cork head produces a distinct, crisp "cracking" sound on impact, giving competitive players the sensory feedback they rely on for touch shots and net play.
- The Ultimate Value Option: Delivering roughly 80–85% of the premium goose-feather experience at a fraction of the long-term cost, the NCS Pro is highly sought after by advanced clubs, training academies, and tournament organizers looking to shield themselves from global feather shortages.
Specifications
- Quantity: 12 shuttlecocks per tube (1 dozen).
- Available Speeds: Most prominently distributed in Speed 77 (Medium) and Speed 76 (Medium-Slow).
- Stem Material: Advanced Composite Carbon Fiber Material. This rigid carbon spine replaces organic feather quills, entirely eliminating the structural snapping that ruins natural feather birds.
- Feather Vanes: Precision-engineered LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) aerodynamic synthetic feathers.
- Head Material: Premium Composite Cork, providing crisp tactile feedback off the string bed.
- Aerodynamic Innovation: The synthetic LDPE feathers feature a patented cut design with 3 strategically placed air vents per feather. This unique venting system replicates the natural air drag and spin of organic feathers.
