Got my Asics Gel Task today... Look and feel great and I am going to post a review-like thread after Friday, when I will have tryed them on court.
I had try Gel Beyond, size 11, but its was just tight for me, too bad that the shop doesn't have size 12.
i recently bought 1 asics gel rocket (duno GR wat la) at puchong aj at rm 210, the design is the same as the 1 u post, but mine is white +blue, not black. there have some more asics shoes
Hi Yeo, thanks for the infor, i went AJ too, but doesnt have size 12 for the model i want, too bad. Will go again this weekend to string my racket.
Asics New shoe Gel-Task Anybody has tried this new pair of shoes from Asics in a court? I tried it on in the shop, but it felt a bit high off the groound, but the cushioning seems as good as a running shoe. I couldn't find any review about it. The price a bit high at 110, but with the gel placement on the heel and balls of feet, seems reasonable.
I am using these Gel Task shoes Yes -- a bit high off the ground, but these are volleyball shoes after all... It takes one or two sessions to get used to it. I like 'em much -- the cushioning is incredible -- not only on the heel... On the forefoot there is spEVA, which is good too... At first I thought these shoes are too narrow, but after quick re-lacing and one session everithing went fine... The grip is very good -- even on a dusty wooden floor... I bought em from reduction on ebay for 35 pound total... But now there is only UK 7.5 left on sale... You can find different sizes for about 39 pounds without shipping -- from other stores on ebay...
Cool. I have used and trusted Asics for its durabilty and quality of its running shoes. I was sold especially with the Australian Sport's medicine endorsement. It's on my radar to replace my trusty Yonex shb90.
Keep in mind that Yonex shoes are designd exactly for badminton so it is possible to be frustrated with any Asics volleyball shoes... I find my asics shoes great for badminton and better than my dead tennis shoes I used to play with... But have never wear yonex shoes and yonex shoes are not available in my country too... And I am Asics running shoes fan too
Asics Gel Task review A Squash specific indoor court shoe. Pros: gum rubber has a very good grip on the floor, very well cushioned shoes, hardly felt any impact when lunging or landing from a jump. Has extra lace grommet to tie the shoes snuggly. Cons: not a badminton specific shoe, slightly heavy at 348g which affects mobility, not well ventilated underneath, feet warms up easily and slightly high on the ground (possible rolled ankle risk).
hi guys...any information bout cushioning on the heel/rearfoot of mizuno wave tornado 2? is it hard or not? thanx
I am just wondering, my friend who wears a mizuno told me that, their shoes are more designed for them? is that true? because i once thought of getting a pair of mizuno but i am not flat footed. can anyone give me their opinion about them.
Give these shoes some time... You will get used to them... I don't find them too heavy -- just as normal running trainers...
I just purchase a pair of Mizuno Wave Lightning 5 shoes (Silver/Gold). This is the first time I'm trying out a non-Yonex badminton shoe after such a long time. Yonex shoes I used : SHB88, SHB92, SHB95, SHB98M, SHB99LOW, SHB100LTD. Let's see how this pair works out!
Well, there's still a while to wait. But the suggested weight seems incredibly light. They look nice, but gold and silver together... may be just a bit too flashy. Good thing they have a wide color assortment.
Yeah, I loved the Mizuno Lightning 5 so much I bought two pairs... black/silver and silver/black color scheme from the same store.
Chau Beng @ Queensway is selling it for S$139. Anyway, here are some pictures of the shoes. I wore it to play for the first time today and I must say the cushioning is very impressive (both forefoot and heel)! It is slightly higher off the ground compared to Yonex shoes, but that is not an issue. It weighs pretty much the same as the Yonex SHB 100 imo.
