why buy badminton shoe should buy fitting size or slightly bigger?

when u gonna play badminton with tennis or squash racket?     

your skill is beyond godlike mode ma..
sure can one 

yonex ultima series shoes? its about that price.
also for string, probably bg66 strung at 23-25 depending on ur preferences.

Recently my elbow starting to pain again after some time. Cut the story short, it was injured years ago.
i wanna continue playing, i think i should get a lighter racket.
i am a heavy smasher. but i think i got to change my game style due to racket too heavy for elbow to handle.
is there any good suggestion for below rm200 budget? currently having 3 racket which i guess is all too heavy for my busted elbow. haha

i actually spend 3-4 hours searching and reading reviews on apacs.
haha... never tested apacs b4.
if get 5u, then i guess power had to be sacrificed rite.
also heard nice review on lethal 9.
wats ur opinion? lethal or tantrum light series is around 200 or so.

according to the data I dig from the web, here is the specs of the Lethal 9

*High Modulus Graphite
*Max Tension: 35lbs
*Weight: 85-87g, Balance: 285+-5mm, Flex: 9.0-9.5, 4U-G2
Lethal 7 and Lethal 8 is around the same, but with difference Flex, Lethal 7 Flex: 9.5, Lethal 8 Flex: 8.0-9.0.

BTW, the higher Flex mean more stiff, right? so Lethal 7 is the most stiff among the 3?
Lethal 9 >> http://www.badmintonbay.com/product_info.p...products_id=209

Lethal 8 >> http://www.badmintonbay.com/product_info.php?products_id=213

O. . .  I got Apacs Edgesaber 100, it show Flex 8.0-9.0, but I feel it very flex; another racket Yonex Nanospeed 500 which should be medium but I feel it a bit stiff. . . 

Then I wonder which apacs racket got Flex below 8.0 one??
P/S : Lethal 7 a bit head heavy, Lethal 9 even balance >> http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/sho...tly-used%29-.sg

Guys,

I am letting go my NS9900. It's TH coded 3UG5 with NBG95(24lbs) at RM450 firm. the original grip is still on with a el-cheapo overgrip. Only one tiny chip on the frame. if interested then please email me. only COD at puchong area this weekend till merdeka around. for more details please PM me.

I dun think so...u can search for yonex Armortech defend series or nanospeed..

Li-Ning N50 cost Rm1000..

Apa ini sifu sifu? I am a beginner only lah. . .  

Sifu ziggy, if a 5U head heavy racket vs a 3U even balance racket, theoretically which one is more better for smashing and which one more easy for defense?  (provided the shaft stiffness is around the same, I never own any 5U/6U racket before, wonder how good those Apacs Light series can be. . . )

Pai seh, newbie here 

Dear Sifus,

I am an amateur at badminton. Currently I am using the following 2 rackets below & planning to get another 1.

1.> RSL Millennium Heat 8160 - Tension 25
2.> Impact Diamond X5 - Tension 27

Mainly I will use my RSL for Offensive game & Impact for Defensive. I'm looking for a mid racket which can be used for both Offensive & Defensive. Any suggestions?

My current rated stats, my personal opinion. (1-very bad - 10-Very Good)

Smashing - 5
Backhand - 3
Drops - 7
Serves - 7
Baseline Return - 4

p/s: I am currently eyeing the APACS Raptor MK 1 however the seller has no more stocks... Budget around RM 300 (irregardless new or second hand)

Any advise/suggestions is highly appreciated.

Greetings all sifus,

After taking advices and tips on which to buy, I proceed to Ipoh in hope of getting one for myself. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any Apacs racquet in the shop. I end up buying Yonex NanoSpeed 100 and Pronex Nano 9900 Power. Any sifu uses it before and would like to give me a review on it?

By the way, what is the difference between BG-6 and BG-66? Since I'm not that sure of the differences, I chooses BG-6. Will get my racquet on Tuesday 

Yik Fong Complex, my friend can get discounts there.

At first plan to go to another shop at Oldtown but it's close and I'm quite in need of a racquet 

Today I just went to Jusco Tebrau(Johor)..I went to take a peak on the badminton section. Guess what? Armortech 600 costs 499++..and then yonex Aerosensa 30 costs me 100..which I can get both from Honly.. at least RM100 and RM 65++ less respectively..but still I saw one guy buying that..

Got any 1 victor user?

I hope somebody can shear feeling using d sw35.

Haha..alrdy using nw..plan to get 1 more for spare

Hahaha..ok..tis racquet really goods for double player,i use bg 80 wit 29 pounds,very syok..haha..head quite heavy..

Yup..stiffer than x2 gold..haha..bt for my theory is as long as ur hand hav power,stiff shaft is quite good..d problem is nt so good for ply defensive..bt stiff shaft can generate full power u smash..bt flex shaft cant do it.

Yonex Nanospeed series, top up RM25 of my budget can get?  Sure boh? Yonex got so cheap one meh (I mean those reasonable quality one lar...)? I thought Yonex those reasonable quality (i.e. Apacs or whatever chap ayam brand cost slightly more RM100++) will cost at least RM300++

Now only I realise what sort of racquet I prefer, those head light one, coz all the while I dont know Nanospeed series is head light (Apacs Nanospeed 9000 =  Yonex Nanospeed 9000 clone). No wonder I feel weird using Apacs Edge Saber Z Spark    ...All sifu, sifu, any reconmendation of head light, RM100 to RM150 budget?

My fren also use it,i try it nt so syok,mayb nt enough head heavy..bt i heard bs10 more stiff..

Hi Alan,

Handle quite big? G5? I plan to string up using Nanogy 98 with 25lbs tension. What do you think?

High tension offensive player, the BG80 can last your for how many sessions playing?
Since it is not Yonex high-end racket, so cannot request too much on the max tension it can support, 24-26lbs should be enough for most of the intermediate player. . .

actually ATT99 shouldn't be compare with BS10 or SW35, right? since ATT99 is mid-range and the BS10/SW35 is consider as high-end for Victor racket. . . 

BTW what is the mean difference between Artery/SW/BS series? is it like Yonex >> Artery=MusclePower, SW=Armortec, BS=ArcSaber??

anyone got comments with Victor SW320?? price around the same as ATT99/ATT98 or Yonex ArcSaber 008T. . .
