After many years of using both Kimoni and Kimony, I am now very much convinced Kimoni is better. Much more tacky.
I stopped using Kimoni when the colour started to run. I had a yellow Kimoni grip on an old racket in my bag with other rackets gripped in white Yonex AC102 grip. I haven't even played with the old racket and I started seeing yellow markings on the white grips.
whats the point honestly...? they both sound exactly the same with the only difference being one alphabet. and badminton industry isnt that big to have a separate company, no?
Kimony is the original company. A pretty accurate story is here http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php/85777-Kimony-or-Kimoni
