    I really appreciate you @Ch1k0. You always deliver and I also appreciate that you are often one of the first buyers and always share the impressions, which helps all of us. Many Thanks to you, mate!!!

    I was hoping due the switch of some pros, that we get a JS10II here with slightly more flex and a bit more weight. According to the data I'm very disappointed. Checking out at racquetforce the ARS80X, sounds on paper more promising for @s_mair and me. We both are very close in terms of racket-taste and since he purchased the P9200, in terms of shoes as well, now. ;)

    The P9200 is among the best shoe I have ever had the pleasure of owning. Its light enough and has good ventilation. I'm not that happy about the cushion but disclaimer, I suffer from plantar fasciitis so anything less than a A960 or SC6 is pretty much gonna give me shite.

    Anyway back to the rackets.. I might go for an 88g copy of the 90S if my full test session on Saturday goes really positive. I do feel like I could go a gram heavier on it like I did the BS12.

    Zero need to feel sorry mate. With all that gibberish around here, it's impossible to keep track of everyone's stuff.
    Anyways, I completely agree with @ucantseeme. Your first hand impressions have been really helpful numerous times, so thanks a lot for being my trusted guinea pig.

    OT:
    I'm using the Spenco Crosstrainer insoles with the P9200. As if I'm walking on clouds.

    I'm too poor to afford Spencos now lmao. Too many new rackets lately.. My plan to reift my whole fleet of shoes with them has taken a back seat..

    Maybe BC crowdfunding a pair of Spencos for @Ch1k0? I would be in for all that shared impressions, which save me money and hassle, so we can give something back. @s_mair? Would be a very poor statement if 5-6 guys here can't donate for our bro to get some insoles, right?

    Oh, and before I jump on the ARSE train blindly with some middle of the road racket, I rather pull the trigger on that sensational N80II deal on e78... darn it, I sometimes sincerely hate myself...

    TKF is very likely what you're looking for. Slightly flexier and slightly head heavier than JS10.

    About the SC6EX (or SC5EX) shoes, they are one of the most cushiony badminton shoes around. Is 9200 similar or is there any other Victor or Yonex shoe with that amount of cushioning that I need? @Ch1k0

    And really, @Ch1k0 you only need one pair of insoles. You can move it around different shoes. And you can afford $20 seriously! Just sell a racket!

    I have like 9 pairs of shoes lmfao. Hmm well the closest so far I've found in terms of cushioning to the SC6 is actually the A960 I feel.

    They may be 20 a pop but they don't really have them here. I have to import them....

    Nah, you complete ignore the feel of this tennis oversized TK-F Frame compared to the direct and pointy feel of the JS10. I demoed the TK-F and don't like it.

    Make sure you had the same string and tension as your usual? Otherwise it's not a fair or good demo/assessment.

    Pm me your address, I'm the same size and have several new pairs. If shipping is not more than the insoles, I'll send it to you...
