Nice shoes for sure, but thanks but no thanks......not durable, will last 2 weeks for me at the most and at 105 Euro's.........better go out and yam cha with the guys leh

Look awesome yea....
But Vapor sucks. Even after break-in.

2 weeks? are you sure? so cepat. about the price, its understandable that they are pricey since they just came out. i wouldnt wear them on court though, too beautiful to ruin. anyways, the upcoming new Vapor should be better.

Hahah bro, if you sponsor me the shoe, I can guarantee you, 2 weeks or less! If not I PAY you DOUBLE!


I <3 Nike shoes , who doesn't!!?! But honestly, I tried Nike before, no matter waht type of technology they claim to have, the sole doesn't last, unless you play tennis socially ie pusher style, never run for the ball,play once a week, one hour at a time, then of course I cannot comment lah, but I play 3-4 hours daily. Barricades last me 2 months tops, before I a hole develops, and then touches my feet.....

I do agreed with u .
Nike Sucks

The sole of the shoe is not the best lah pooh, if people can afford to buy Nike and replace them more power to them, its just a opinion that I have of Nike, if every week I strike 4d , sure I buy Nike as well, coz they are very comfortable and low to the ground, traction is so so, of course the cosmetics of the shoe are top notch.

If you dont wear out the sole like I do, heheh, feel free to give Nike a try.

Previously i used to worn Nike before.
But the current Nike the sole is like veli soft leh.
How to last for 6 months.
unless my grandfather is a millionaire then diff story la

i tot ur grandfather richest in klang?

Sopi your grandfather fr China left u few lands in Muar rite

well talking abt not worth it buys is probably getting a super old and battered condition secondhand dunlop rackets which is not popular to begin with going for rm25x price when you can just grab a newer Aerogel 300 / 500 @ rm270 or so.

heyy ppl...i wanna ask would transition from aerogel 300 to the exo graphite 100 be tough?
im 2h backhand and like to spin the crap out of my fh.
tot i wanna get the new 4d 300 but im up against some friggin hard hitters. hard to deal with my current stick.
anyone tried can pls share your input on this racket.
thx in advance..

hey bro .. basically what i can tell you is that .. i 've the aerogel 300 and also the 4d300. have played the 4d300 non-tour and the tour version as well. we have them all here in our grp here. As you played the aerogel 300 .. you would know that aerogel 300 has very fast head movement (fast swing). well the graphite 100 has the same effect. Very very fast head swing due to the openess of the frame ( the holes - exo3 technology). thus making it very very spin friendly . Coupled with the stiff setting of the racquet i personally liked it very much . However i would say you must work a bit hard to get a hard shot. as it's quite low power and fashioned after a tour/ player's racquet. So you need to generate your own power. transition hard or not i think shudn't be an issue. Anyways don't get me wrong here i'm not promoting something that you think i'm getting rid off. it's the exact opposite. I already have one for myself and keeping that.

thx for your input bro. since you own one,
say ur doing defensive shot,ie blocking the ball with no backswing coz you are out of time;
is it stable?
with the 300..man, it gets punched back and my block goes off target,and give opponent another chance to kill.
ya and of course, im nt that fast and pro thats y have to be defensive often.
