Yonex fans here but been out of action for few years, last rackets was a VT80 - 3U (JP version) & Arc 8DX - 2U (JP version)

Ti10 - 3rd gen was light enough for a double play but I think it was discontinued

many Yonex haters out there as they think Yonex is overpriced same like Rolex.

well since they've been survived and succeeded in this industry for so long, then they must be good enough.

still remembered few years ago during the Li-Ning hype, i asked one very good veteran player about Li-Ning, his answer is "I only believed in Yonex"

I must admit that Yonex Shoes (SHB version) are overpriced and not so durable, after trying out Li-Ning, Mizuno and Asics, I still come back to Yonex Shoes (SHB) for the fit and feel *low ground contact as compared to others.

Still it is overpriced

Japan Yonex is way more expensive than those selling in Malaysia

As Japan Yonex is JP code and whereas Malaysia is SP code

JP code Yonex always command a premium price vs others

Slight different in paint job, play wise is the same

Was using a Yonex Amortec 900 technique until it broke.

Now back to my trusted old Carlton Airblade 800 which is 15-ish years old.

I've try Mizuno shoes before but I bought the Volley Ball series which the heel is too high for lateral movement, sold it just after 2 rounds

in my place, I hardly find any Badminton Version, only Volley Ball

For those in Klang valley, we can easily find good badminton shoes/equipment at elin collection in cheras, AJ in puchong, racquet world in pertama or KD sport.

I saw this Wave fang at elin was selling at 380++. Good stuff but not cheap.  :thumbsup:

Yes bro!

The wave fang rx2 I bought is definitely the higher end series
Not cheap even after promotion 30+ 10 % off
But so far this is the best badminton shoe I ever wear, day one already fit well!

Every aspect is better

Move front and back
Jump and landing
Grip
Fitting

Nvr try Duora
I notice the Dennis number pair also using Duora 10
Tot it’s single game racket

Seems nowadays racket design towards both fast swing using all different tech
And head heavier for smashing

Yeap, G2 is rare. But the best feeling still is the T10 - G1. Nowadays i don't play with G1 and G2. Just stroke nia. Only G3 still in service.

Duara also a good racket.  There is 2U, 3U and 4U.  Just my personal experience... 2U & 3U is more suitable for singles while the 4U, which is lighter, performs better in doubles becoz of speed.

For Yonex (Made in Japan), the price from around RM400 and above.
If you really interested in Yonex and worrying about outside shop whether is genuine or not, you can get it online in sunriseclick.com.  Normally I bought from them.
