I got a pair of VT-82 last night and gave it a try. The pair looks like a SHB-99 in appearance without the anti-torsion claws. There are ventilation holes that punched through the bottom. They are very comfy without SuperFeet Green, but the outer sole is too slippery for wooden floor. I will give them a try on sticky court mats the next time.
Pete, Were did you buy them? I ws in HK last month (tourist) and I could not find any decent badmnton shoes in the big malls. Maybe I was looking in the wrong places. Shoebox
I've got the 72 which I believe is the same in a different colour. They're definitely a little slippery, but I LOVE them. Very comfortable!
Latest update! I am surprised that after using it for working in the gym for the last 2 months, the VT-82 becomes sticky on wooden court surface.
Whoa whoa whoa!!! Only a Master of the Jedi Knight council, use the force to such extent, & make shoes stickier after prolonged usage *bows down graciously* You are Master Pete.
Master Kelvin, Yonex is still stickier than the VT-82 on wooden floor. The VT-82 takes quite a bit of time to wear away the non-stick rubber. BTW, I only used it for doing eccentric squats for the last 2 months .
Ah ok ok, lol that would explain the wear pattern on the shoes I will stick to yy & mizuno court shoes then lol... darn... I have no excuse for new shoes yet
Sir! Please use correct terminology. Pete is a Jedi Council Member. There is no such thing as a Master of the Jedi Knight Council. A Jedi Council Member is a Jedi Master elected to the Council. Jedi Ranking: 1) Apprentice/Initiate/Youngling 2) Padawan 3) Jedi Knight 4) Jedi Master 5) Jedi Council Member How is this badminton related? Jedi Council Member Pete uses a 2U Ti10 at 32.0/35.2lbs. with BG-70Pro. His blue light saber stay home.
