Can anyone suggest a way to choose badminton rackets that are suitable to you. I always choose by feel. I often ask the seller for one that is heavier in the head. As "I think" I can feel the racket better if the racket head is heavier.

Currently playing with Finnex racket and others(I can't remember the brands).

Hi there, just play three rounds of Badminton tonight. Found out that my Yoney Badminton shoes has wound out. I had been wearing them for more than two years. Was very happy with them. I cannot remember the model number but I bought them for around RM350.

I have been wearing Yoney for about 4 years now. My previous pair was also about RM300. The seller told me that I was wearing the player's version. [ Don't know if that is true]

Okay, my question now is, I will have to buy a new pair of shoes very soon, should I stick with yonex or try other brands....

The reason I bought yonex are

1) they are light,
2) they grip my feet very well, my feet don't move around much inside the shoes
3) I feel comfortable because of thier egoshape, the toes areas are large enough
4) they grip the court really nicely
5) except for the last pair, the shoes are quite lasting, more than two years

Things that I don't like

1) the insole wears out quite fast, after about six month, I can't feel the cusion anymore.
...... I think that is about all.

Can anyone give me any suggestion, Ascis, Li Ning, Mizuno, Victor.
