    I just got myself Asics Gel Blast 4 with 10% discount, after considering between Beyond and the Blast.
    Also just strung my BS10 with N98@27 lbs. Hope to have great 'blasting & smashing' session next week.

    I think the Gel Blade 3 has one of the best designs ever. Anybody else agrees with me?

    hello bro,

    I get my shoe from queensbay, but you can also try to check with Mr.Ong(Permata Sports Complex) to order, # 012-4879388. (just said "Ah Tatt" recommend).

    regards

    Hello moomoo,

    It is good shoe with good grip but need to workout few times to make the shoe season, by the way, I used to add insole in all my previous shoes to custom with my feet and better impact stabilizing, which I will get it next week.
    The other shoe is Gel 3030 for my running, this shoe is great, the gel pad is large, hope my badminton shoe is with this amount of gel.

    just got a pair.. and i can off the bat tell you that its soooo much better and grippier than my current pair of wilson court elite 800. Cant wait to try these on the court tom evening.
    Thanks chaps to those who have reviewed and posted about this shoe. Its brilliant.. (im sure no more or less brilliant than offerings from other top brands, eg YY ect ect)

    initial impressions just walking about at home - very little padding on the lateral side of the forefoot.. i guess this helps with lateral motion. more padding on the medial forefoot. Laces seem shorter than what im used to. go figure. Very light shoe. holes in the sole everywhere. Even the arch support in the middle is hollow and is open directly into the shoe... all for ventilation i expect. grippier than my current pair of shoes. I guess not all gum soles are made the same.
