Overview
Full-round goose is rare; even mid duck is scarce some weeks — so sessions drift to single-side. G100 is mid goose; G100S is the youth / downspec cut. Timing after price stabilisation makes it a price play. For contrast, RSL No.4 “PLUS” felt worse to me in the same window.
Flight
Float, wobble, surge. Tip is not obviously downspec — contact feels solid — but single-side cannot hold stability. Warm-up clears are hard to aim; air wobble and drift are visible. I am sceptical of claims that it “fixes G100 flight.” Speed is fast; end deceleration is weak — shuttles can fly into the next court. OKAY 1 is more obedient if you want synthetic predictability.
Durability
Doubles can last about three games / forty minutes. Feathers explode but do not snap clean — single-side trait. Mid-session speed softens partly because rallies stay short.
Verdict
Acceptable value through half-sheet channels for its tier. Avoid for real matches — it ruins the experience. Training baskets and casual nights only. OKAY 1 may crowd this G / D / C entry band if clubs keep choosing synthetics.
