We’re proud to share that Swifties-sponsored elite junior player, Oliver Wu, reached the quarterfinals in boys’ singles at the All England Junior Championships 2025 — one of the most competitive international junior tournaments in Europe — and notably, the only England player to reach the quarterfinals in the boys’ singles event.
Oliver lost in a closely fought match to Alexandre Bernardo from Portugal, showing strong form and composure throughout the event. His performance reflects the progress he’s been making since committing to full-time training after finished his A-level in June.
🔁 From U17 Finalist to Full-Time Athlete
Oliver has been training with Swifties shuttlecocks — both Lite and Pro — since the launch of the brand. Back in his U17 season, he reached the final of the U17 National Championships using Swifties and was photographed holding a tube of our shuttles — a moment that marked the beginning of a strong partnership.
Now, having completed his A-Levels, Oliver is training full-time, focusing fully on his development and international performance.
“I’ve been using Swifties since they launched. The consistency and feel are top-level — especially the Pro, which plays just like the top Yonex shuttles. I use Lite for tough training blocks and it always holds up.” – Oliver Wu, England Junior No.1
🎯 Built for Serious Performance
Oliver uses Swifties Lite for daily training and Swifties Pro to prepare for tournaments. Both models are built for elite performance — matching or exceeding the flight and durability of big-name brands like Yonex AS30 and AS50.
🔺 The Right Time to Switch
With shuttlecock prices continuing to rise, especially for goose-feather models, more competitive players and clubs are switching to Swifties for high-end performance without the retail markup.
We’re proud to support Oliver on his journey and look forward to seeing him achieve even more in future international tournaments throughout 2025 and beyond.
