    kwun, what's your opinion on playing on Yonex mats. I did consider using them, but obviously I won't be. Really suprised you havn't figured out who the flooring is by yet. Did my hint left on friday not lead anywhere?

    Yonex Mats are great. they are like rough sandpaper, grippy and feels very pro.

    the issue with Yonex Mats are :

    - longevity. a local club has Yonex mats and with high traffic, they are in really bad shape after a few years. lines are worn, all sandpaper quality gone, now just bare smooth rubbery surface.
    - Yonex mats are what they are, mats. they only provide a good playing surface and need an underlying layer to provide suspension.

    haven't been spending a lot of energy on the search. maybe someone can take up the fun/honor instead of me? ;)

    okay kwun :cool:

    here goes another hint. Badminton Vancouver's flooring will be provided by a company with a long and established reputation. They've been chosen to provide sports flooring to the world's premier sporting competition 9 times consecutively.

    One other thing is to have available ice packs or ice compression packs for sprains and injuries.:)
