They also slow up much more by the time they reach you. This means you have a chance of getting smashes back.
I remember the League I currently play in used to play with plastics - basically the person with the hardest smash won the game. With feathers, it takes the smash out of the game a little and gives us limp-wristed players a chance to shine with their control and accuracy.
Feathers do cost more - up to £1 a shuttle. We currently pay £10.50 for a dozen of high quality ones. The bad news is you may get through 2-3 a game.
