Have tried out a couple pairs of Yonexshoes including SHB 46 and SC6 LD edition. However, after around 8-12 months, the grip starts to wear off. I start slipping around the floor. I play pretty regularly, 2-3 hrs/day, 4 days/week. I'm looking for shoes that maybe have longer grip life? A nearby badminton store has these options for these pricing. Let me know if these are good deals and if recommend. Yonex SBH 01 LTD LCW - $85 Yonex SBH 65 R2 - $89 Yonex Aerus 3 - $85 Yonex Power Cushion Comfort Adv. 2 - $85 Yonex SBH 02 LTD - $85 Yonex SBH 87 LTD - $80 Yonex SBH-PC - $55 Victor SH-A310 $50
From my experience Yonex is one of the best on grip. There may be other reasons why you loose grip during long passes...perhaps dust on the floor? Does it just feels slipery, or can you se that the ”hexagongrip” is teared down...if not...no other Yonex model will work better than your SC6. Almost all Yonex models has the same hexagongrip on the sole.
Sorry, missed that you have had them in almost a year! A pair of shoes 2-3 hrs/ 4 days/week is pretty commonlife for a Yonex shoe to me to.
