Hows the Durability between the shb-03zm & shb03 . I just bought the SHB03 and am wondering if i made a bad choice after seeing bad reviews of the SHB-03ZM in the yonex website the SHB-03zm is suppose to more superior to the shb03 am i wrong?.
Yes there was http://www.yonex.com/sports/badminton/products/badminton/footwear/shb-03zm/ there were only 2 bad reviews thou for the SHB 03Z . But i guess it is too late for me anyway i already bought shoes . If there is any durability problems i'm going for victors next.
Let's break this down. Assuming you got 03EX, then yes it should be EXTREMELY durable since the base is a 65/X/EX. I'm using 65X now and seriously, it's not even flinching. I only added tape to the side to protect the leather lunge part. And no, you didn't get 03ZM, so why wonder if you made a bad choice? They are 2 different shoes entirely. 03ZM is not meant to be "Superior"; it's what Yonex envisioned a successor to the side clawed 01/02 should be. That's all. 03EX on the other hand is like a tighter/better fit & durable (in terms of lunge protection) version of the most popular/universal fit (pros anyway) shoe that Yonex sells.
That's a relief to hear that the SHB 03 is a very durable shoe Esppy . I have the SHB65 wide and it really is durable but i had to get a new one as mine had stretched and the fit was no longer that good . Will be trying it out tomorrow i hope the shoes are perfect while trying it out in the shop the fit was really snug and comfortable.
Do let us know how the ZM feels. I am still waiting for my refund and now i am in two minds. Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk
Hi Blurry what i bought was the SHB03 & not the SHB03ZM sorry for the confusion. But i felt the stock insole on the SHB03 was a little too thick and cushiony for my taste so i changed it with the Victor VT-XD8 insoles. It now feels much quicker and i am able to push off much easier . Will write the results once i try them on court .
Hi all, Was thinking of getting the 03ZM/03ZL but wanted to know if there are any differences in fit between the male and female version? Quite like the blue one but am a guy. Cheers
If your area is quite high priced for 03ZL, and you want to be sure, GO IMPORT A JP CODE VERSION. There is no differentiation between the JP red and blue. They share the same SHB03 product code. Just says 03 on the inner ankle side.
A quick review on the shoe. It is not as tight as it thought i would be. However i have to say the shoe is very light. As for the grip i need a few more sessions with it to comment further. Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk
This is strange.. i feel.. that 03z is somehow lighter compared to aerus 2. Have both.. and.. can't decide if i am wrong or not.. strangely, yonex messed up the sizing again.. always bought the 27cm.. And it feels half size too big.
