yonex rackets are not that fragile
the safety 22lbs is just for warranty issues.
most experienced stringers dare to string yonex rackets at high tension even after many times of stringing. i'm not saying that your stringer is not good and all. maybe he just want to protect his customers and make sure the warranty T&C is not void, just in case.
pardon me but low tensions are no fun tongue.gif

yeah haha I agree with u, stringers will warn the customers first if they wanna go beyond rec tension... perhaps can go higher with a NS9900 / Voltric 70

any good shoes anyone can recommend? budget probably around rm100 liek that. I just went to al-ikhsan saw nike court shoes selling around rm179, then my fren got an adidas court shoes for rm149, seems tempting >< How does it compare to yonex one? Seems liek yonex got more technology, but adidas and nike got brand reputation lolz, summore can wear walk walk also can because of the design.

just gave a call to ss14  e-sports which is famous for badminton, i called to ask about the AT70 pricing, she said it is RM219 with BG6 string, not bg66, just bg6 ,and a grip.
the conversation was like this...

me : "hi , e-sports? wanna ask about the AT70 earlier ah.. it is RM2xx with string and grip?? what kind of strings??"

the e-sports lady : "yah , RM219 come with BG6 and grip,ok im not free..(HANG UP)"

just as i was about to ask what grip and what if i wanna upgrade the strings to bg66 or if i dont wanna string at all , she hung up the phone after saying "im not free"

i just felt the racquet and it feels nice, so i called back to double check the pricing, but this is what their customer service offered me, should i still get it from them, or do i go to arc  wink.gif ??

the shop is fine, the uncle in there is very nice tho, have alot of stocks, just the counter lady has issues

I cant rec on the shoes, as for the AT70 MG, it's a good racket, medium stiffness, heavy head, smash well, drives well but defense not so responsive...

so it is more an attacking racquet? I normally play doubles, i scare if defensive not too good, then it's hard lolz, unless i can improve my smash until 1 extend that my opponent hardly can return shot lolz.

But then, the more concerned for me is getting a shoes 1st, because my current line7 the sole alread worn out zzz.. maybe gonna try adidas or nike out 1st, because i dont know where to try yonex one lolz.

i searched back and alot of ppl talking about asics shoes is kinda good, how does it fares with yonex shoes? SHB-85mx is like rm120, while asics range from rm160-200+. The think is, i dont know how yonex power cushion feels, but i have wore asics running shoes before and seriously, my feet doesnt pain after wearing it compared to those power shoes, so i highly rate asics shoes tho i dont really like the design smile.gif

Ben, it all depends on ur budget, purpose and whether u like the design...good quality Yonex shoes cost RM250 to above RM300 (street price / after discount) However, they also produce the Ultima range which is a lower end range (without Power Cushion)

How Power Cushion feels? well very comfortable if you like to jump a lot in a game, my legs dun feel painful after my sessions. Many years ago I wore Nike futsal shoes for badminton, then I switched to SHB-100 with Power Cushion. Now I'm wearing SHB-101 LTD and never look back ever since smile.gif

My suggestion is dun wear running shoes during badminton game, cos the sole is wider and not suitable for badminton. Get a pair of dedicated badminton shoes, in which u ONLY wear in court. dun wear for jalan jalan / jogging to prevent damaging the sole.

Cheers smile.gif

With ur budget you might be able to get NS800, or maybe if u meet a nice shop owner, he'll share with you which racket suits you. but all words and no action is kinda hard to justify whether the racket is for you or not, so it all comes down to 3 main types, Head heavy (offensive), balanced, and head light (defensive), pick one and go try smile.gif

In ur case (mostly defending) I think head light rackets is for u, as they are more responsive, however u need to have a faster swing (instead of just brute strength) to generate a powerful smash..

Oh, but then i see the Yonex Ultima 85 Pro should have power cushion those right? I dont know the eaxct coding of this, but i once google the shoes and it came out from yonex site that the shoes is having power cushion tech, just lack the lateral claw thingy. I saw some nike multicourt shoes, kinda tempting too, and my friend bought and adidas indoor shoes, also looking good as well, gonna try them today and see how it goes.

Hmm not to be confused with SHB 85 as seen in the official Yonex website, Ultima looks the same, but in fact it's a diferent range already smile.gif but anyway happy shopping smile.gif
