Hi BC'ers I want to buy new shoes today. I want to ask your guys opinion on which asics model is better? Is it blast 4 or blade 3? i only play double twice a week. FYI i called AJ and racquet zone puchong they are selling blast 4 for RM320 and blade 3 for RM280.00. Its only RM40.00 different. Thanks
Blade 3 and blast 4 is totally different model bro. its not like i ask to compare blade 2 with blade 3. read carefully.
if you need extra lateral support, go for the blast 4. that is the only difference i see with those model....other than design, color which is all up to you. either way, you will have a great shoe =)
Yes, I finally decided to buy blade 3 at etako pertama complex. Its also recommended by the shop owner cos he said this 1 is better for fast movement in court. Thanks for all your views guys!
I'm looking for the Blade 4, due in summer time. Blast 4 is yet released over here in the UK but have seen the pictures. Between them I'll choose which one offers better cushioning and then better looking.
Sorry friend, have not tried both of them. Last year tried Blade 3 but got a blister in my feet, so returned it. Have not tried blast 4. This year will try both new range; blast 4 and blade 4. It depends what you mean by 'better'. If you want performance, you might want to go with a lighter shoe, which will give quicker movements but if you want protection and support for your foot and knee, then you need extra cushioning and might be a bit heavier. For me, I need extra cushioning for my ageing body.
