The Yonex Crosswind 70 is a high-performance, next-generation hybrid synthetic shuttlecock launched in early 2026. It is designed to deliver near-feather flight performance with exceptional durability.
The shuttle utilizes a porous nylon wing structure combined with a natural cork base to closely replicate the feel, flight, and sound of traditional feather shuttlecocks. It aims to reduce long-term costs and environmental impact, and has been approved for competitive play in various German leagues.
Performance & Feel:
Offers a soft, premium feel comparable to top-grade feather shuttlecocks (such as AS50), with excellent resilience and stable, consistent flight. While some players notice a slight difference in touch, overall performance remains highly reliable.
Durability:
Significantly more durable than traditional feather shuttlecocks, making it well-suited for intensive training and extended use.
Design & Structure:
Incorporates a proprietary porous nylon “feather” structure to create a natural descent, paired with a hybrid nylon/carbon graphite stem for enhanced stability and control.
Use Cases:
Ideal for clubs and training environments aiming to reduce shuttle costs. It has also been approved by the German Badminton Association (DBV) for high-level competitive play starting January 1, 2026.
Environmental Impact:
Developed as part of a more sustainable approach to badminton, focusing on reducing material waste compared to traditional feather shuttlecocks.
