    I wouldn't say I'm a fan of Yonex. Rather I'd say their products suited me very well over all these years and I didn't really looked back. There hardly is any bonus. Every company has to show off with every product what they're capable off. I get what suits me best, plain and simple.

    2X Isometric 75 Slim
    3X MP100 3U
    2X NS9000 X
    2X NS9000 S
    2X AT900P 4U
    2X AT900T 4U
    2X Arc5DX 3U
    2X Arc10PG 3U
    2X VT80 4U
    2X ZF 4U
    2X Arc8DX

    Sometimes I had to borrow rackets from training mates because my current rackets had snapped strings. Somehow I still ended up with Yonex gear. When I change rackets I used to sell my former primary rackets. This time I'm going to try out Li Ning N90 III but will try Victor JJS and TK8000 first since I get sponsored. LYD was alright, but a tad too flexy... let's c

    Shoewise Yonex worked the best for me. Wide enough for my feet, quite grippy and efficient power cushioning. Downside has always been the short lifespan of the power cushion system forcing me to get new shoes every 4-6 months. After having used F1s I wanted something that lasts me longer and got a pair of Victor 9000ACE E. Solid performance but not enough cushioning... my next shoes will be Yonex again.

    The signature Arcsaber 11 reminds me of the 1st gen Arcsaber 7 on initial inspection. I really like the new colour scheme, although I suspect I am in the minority judging from a lot peoples' opinions on BC. Do you plan to use it or keep it good for collection purposes?

    I´ve played many years with ArcSaber10 PG, my latest experience in badminton is an old racket...
    Titanium 10 (III gen) have a nice solid power-feel that I´ve never hold before. Not shure if this solid feel will come in future rackets with all this smaller technoliges like Nano... etc. Hope you guys have some other inputs!

    Yes, I'm very sure. I'm well updated on Yonex products and counterfeits, this is the bitter true.... Yonex quality on shoes is poor, an I'm getting tired on it!

    I've been using this brand since very young age. My new racket is also Yonex. I don't see and reason at the moment to switch to a different brand.

    Judging by the hrs and days you play, any shoes will still have the same faith. Have you try other brands?

    Yes, not me either... I love Yonex and their rackets, strings, shuttlecocks etc. are the top of the best! But the shoes shoulgn't have this quality issues concerning the cost of them. I've been testing many of other brands like Asics, Adidas, Nike etc, and I can honestly say that I didn't had this poor quality on them that I been having on my 10 last Yonex shoes.
