LOL TK6000 is in my bag. But I'm enjoying testing TK9000 at the moment. This photo was taken Monday when i first tested the new Victor racket. The shoes are excellent - really snug in the heel area and plenty of room at the toe. Excellent grip too. Paul www.badminton-coach.co.uk
Well, with the 3 pairs I had before the SH-P9100 I didn't face colour issues at this area. It doesn't make sense that white colour don't have the same problem if the quality is the same, does it? I mean leather is not white by nature *lol*. The only thing I can imagine is that white colour easier / cheaper to produce in a higher quality? Whatever, the Li-Ning shoes I had didn't have such coloured leather issues :/
My f1s are white there and it's certainly turned a grey color at the toe. Maybe just harder to notice grey on white than grey on color.
^ Yep, that's what I meant. Bleached leather is normally light grey, so any white area that's scuffed to expose the underlying grey is not so obvious.
I'm liking these 9100's so much I may try and get the red or blue and green. The red will look amazing with the new Indonesia shirt when it arrives and the others will match the blue shirts I already have. Mmmm. I think I've been converted to colour. Paul www.badminton-coach.co.uk
Maybe, there are also lots of European stores I could buy from that I found but their prices are crazy. Also only have the yellow color that I could find.
I'm getting mine early because they are in stock in Europe. Mine are not samples. Europe will mainly stock the red version but there are a number of pairs in other colourways whilst stocks last. I'm itching for the blue and green on the basis they may sell out faster than red which should be on stock permanently. Paul www.badminton-coach.co.uk
Only had one seesion on mine so far, but I already like them - they seem to be a more polished, slightly tweaked iteration of the 9000, which can only be a good thing in my book. The cushioning is certainly better, and they are noticeably lighter than the 9000. And clawhammers was right: there is slightly more room in the toe box.
If you go to Swiss Open this year, there will be a store from a Victor distributor who sells it in green/blue and red/black. Just for your information
Mine were a sample pair - I was very lucky they happened to be in my size! It was just a case of "see, want, buy".
I dont know about u guys, but when i was at the all england and watched players live in them - the shoes looked properly hideous. Those chrome thingies - utterly ugly and reflecting all the light straight into my eyez. That's a big disappointment for me, since i'm very much loving my current 9000ace.
EVERYBODY at my club says they liked the FGs, but now I'm not sure how many of them were being ironic...
I really like the FG's Mark and may ask for a pair if they are in stock. I am so happy with the yellow pair that I have given away my last pair to a player who couldn't afford badminton shoes. I'm not not so self conscious about wearing coloured shoes so I may go for the "over the rainbow" shoes and choose the red...as long as you don't call me Dorothy! Paul www.badminton-coach.co.uk
Is this new pair lighter or same weight as the 9000's? I have the red 9000's and I love it. I saw a picture that it has 35% more cushioning, is this true? I need a new pair soon. Im contemplating whether to get F1's or stick with Victor and get these ones!
Guys, didn't you face the material surface problem which I actually have with my shoes? No small area where the colour went off? Or is sliding shoes rather unusual?
