    I recently bought the flex muscle pro at flex sports. The racket is a 3U G2 20-25lb. i strung it with there flex ti strings. once i used it it felx very good vey powerfull. The strings are a perfect match for me. As i used this racket later on the strings broke. The strings broke near the top of the head which made a crack on the top on the inside. Once it got restrung i played with it for 1 month or so and then the racket started to lose power and then craked. The clear and the smah power where better than i expected and eveything is actually really good. This racket is very good but it breaks a bit easily for some reason.

    The times I have worn them, and had to count on them in a fast rally, the Flexpro shoe has let me down severely. The sole compound is a bit too hard and slips. I have jammed my ankles several times slipping with these shoes. They are a very cheap imitation of the Yonex shoe.

    On the construction side, the stick on pieces have all fallen off as well. This is not a well-made shoe.
    This is my second pair - my first pair exhibit similar problems, but the bottom sole actually de-laminated from the shoe! Luckily they replaced it no charge.

    too bad it seem gu jun could had been dooped too but standing behind a bad product does more harm than good. Even if those shoes do hold up, it doesnt look like it give good support.

    from the ebay link, 70$ starting price for a pair of flex pro shoes, one can get a pair of shb50/52 for about same price. Quality difference is nite and day.

    2005 model can be seen in yonex japan site.

    I purchased three pairs of socks. They are much thinner than Yonex's (Thai manufactured) and washs out faster too. I will stick with Yonex's the next time.

    price

    Is Flex Pro Sports a place to play badminton or a place to buy badminton supplies? because all the previous posts talk about the products there. If its a place for playing, do they offer lessons? what are the prices? comparing to clear one and vrc, how would you rate their lessons? i want to get more trainings but i'm still thinking where to go? any suggestions ?
