To absorb sweat from dropping to the grip...if not...you will see a lot of flying projectile..opsss, racket.. cause slippery..

Hi,

Before I got my Yonex shoe, I was using the Gosen, no issue at all.
Then i have got this Yonex shoe which I don't feel comfortable with it.
But I have use it for some time now its time to change. Then lately I have got this heel pain, not sure if its the shoe or what.
And I heard that Asics shoes have great absorption & etc, so thought of trying it.

hi, any 1 can recommend where buy badminton racket in GOOD price and good service.

my location in cheras,

pls recommend .thx

i went to the same sport studio just now and grabbed AT700 again after i give it a few good swings, somehow i feel that this racquet is the racquet i've been looking for... however i cant afford it

Bro,

I sell Dunlop racquets.
I can courier to u

Kind enuf to elaborate what the issues with Yonex ? Actually heel pain can be due to various factors, but, most likely due to the shoe heel not thick or absorb enuf to your jump.

Frankly, as mentioned I used Yonex before, so far no issues, only issues is the price, cause I feel that their stuff is somehow overpriced cause you can get similar technology (i.e. thicker cushion on heel, gel on sole) at much lower price from other brands at even half the price. Also, I played twice a week, the shoe can last me about 1 year plus only, then, it start to become like "roller skate", very dangerous.

The boss of the shop I just bought my shoe, dunno he try to bluff or not, say even he wear RM500+ Li-Ning shoe also get cramp, then, mentioned, Yonex shoe bit pricey, for reasonable quality, you need to pay RM300+, which he then reconmend me other brand (cannot remember what, all I remember RM170+), which he claimed similar to RM300+ Yonex shoe.

Their shop is located in Cheras, but, disclaimer, I never been to their shop, only visited the threat, the facebook, etc and communicated via PM, so, from what I experience, seems that they have variety, able to advice which racket suits you (of course you tell them your budget lar). Pricing wise, from what I compare among all the common racket model, theirs is quite competitive.

Alternative, there are quite number of freelance seller here too, such as OKK, Arc, etc (you tried to search through the thread here, they post regularly too). They all also quite nice, willing to give advice without any obligation

Actually, I asked quite number of question from them, they willingly answer, and fast respond too, but, unfortunately, I had not purchase any racquet from them, awaiting $$$.

oo i c
cause dunno is it too long no play badminton
play around 2 months then my hand start pain
my fren tell me that can prevent 扭到 english i dunno call wat
but i go ask AJ shop he tell me no such thing haha

lol..wristband can prevent sprained/twisted wrist
wristband is too thick to be the supporting mechanism i think
trainer's tape or athletic tape can be used as support
but seems like putting some around the wrist is more like limiting the movement more than support
it's very hard to move. might be good for training

something i wanna share

i have some questions in my head regarding string tension
let's assume..same string, same racket, new shuttle of same type, similar swing and strength
assume that i can handle 28lbs with no problem
i can produce lightning smash with 28lbs if hit the sweetspot
but i feel that the sweetspot smash with 24lbs has similar speed

well it doesn't trouble me but makes me wonder, which should be faster?

i saw this on yonex's website. apparently they only have cushion on my heel and not the front part of my foot and for my case, i think i need the front cushion desperately since my little toe sore
i couldnt find any info in dunlop's website

@ziggy87
i fix the video link for u

what brand/model of towel grip is good?

Bro,

Click the link below for the Dunlop specs

http://www.dunlopsport.com/gb/catalog/2010/badminton/rackets

i need shoes, not racquet

make your own
it's cheaper hence more hygiene since you can change often
although some work is needed

all you need is a piece of towel (any towel, thick/thin any colors you like)
some double sided tape and a good cutter (blade/scissors, your decision)
cut them into strips, paste the double sided tape onto it and grip your handle
