    Most likely - need another testing session to really dial in.

    Stringing to my setup would also help a lot:).

    If you like a light flexible racquet this will be your new weapon of choice! :)

    I thought you said they don't have demo racquets? Sounds like you're well connected?

    Is it official badminton shoes because if I look at other adidas badminton sites, they don't mention anything like this.

    I've seen adidas shoes advertised as badminton shoes long before they announced they would start a badminton line. This doesn't mean a thing.

    I don't think the Stabil 10s are designed specifically for badminton. Having said that, the Stabil 10 in blue looks really nice.

    The site is a collection of different adidas shoes, marketed as badminton shoes (just like the BT Feather is marketed as handball shoe here). The Stabil is originally a handball shoe, and a couple others look like they're from the volleyball collection...
    Also, the Feathers on the site are definitely not adidas (although to be fair it's called 'Replique'), I'd be a bit suspicious about the other stuff as well.
