The Wilson Pro 80 is a tournament-grade feather shuttlecock designed for elite club and high-level competitive play. As Wilson’s top-of-the-line option, it focuses heavily on delivering strict flight stability and a crisp, responsive feel off the racquet strings.
Performance Profile
- Aerodynamic Precision: The Pro 80 is engineered for highly predictable deceleration and a clean parabolic arc. This ensures deep clears drop consistently into the backcourt and tight net play reacts exactly as intended.
- Heavy Smash Resistance: By utilizing dense, high-grade goose feathers and premium adhesives, the skirt is highly resilient against intense impact. It holds its cone shape longer through fast-paced, aggressive rallies than standard training shuttles.
- Tournament Usage: It is the official shuttlecock choice for several premier high school and regional league championships (such as the IHSA state badminton tournament in the US).
Specifications
- Quantity: 12 shuttlecocks per tube (1 dozen).
- Feather Type: Selected Grade-A Premium Goose Feathers for clean aerodynamics and optimal structural integrity.
- Base Material: Premium 100% natural solid cork base, maximizing energy transfer and providing true sensory feedback upon impact.
- Speed Profile: Most prominently distributed in Speed 78 (quite fast, ideal for mid-to-low altitudes or cooler hall temperatures), though medium speeds are also available depending on the region.
- Packaging Innovations: Tubes include a specialized moisture-retention or smart lid system designed to regulate internal humidity, helping to keep the goose feathers from drying out and extending shelf life.
