I have recently moved from head heavy stiff to head light flexible, exactly same experience as yours, power is down 50% but impact quality and shot quality has more than compensated for lack of power
I have the dial 88 3, was thinking about getting a pair of 65z3 to replace them, guess I'll skip and save myself some money haha. Thanks got the comparison!
If you’re ok with any brand, two options could be Victor P9200iii or Yonex Eclipsion z3. P9200iii feels more comfy whereas Eclipsion feels stiffer and more stable when landing, and preventive from ankle rolls
I have played with badminton, squash, & volleyball shoes. Squash shoes are more comfortable than volleyball shoes. Low range, mid range, & high range models do make a difference.
This shoe sucks, my nivia $20 shoes has better comfort than this shoe. I used this shoes for more than 3 weeks and instead of improving my game. I cannot move in court at all. Cannot jump, no comfort. My feet hurts a-lot , due to no shock absorbing my knees and thighs started hurting a-lot. So I switch back to my old nivia shoes which is 1000 times better than comfort z3
I'm about to buy them and stumble upon your video, how is the rigidity of the sole or the anti-torsion? Normal badminton shoes always have the arch under the sole made out of carbon/plastic to reinforce the sole, this pair is just a flat sole so I'm afraid it might be too flexible
It's hard to tell since the outsole doesn't give much away to the naked eye. This shoe feels really soft and spongy, so I'd assume it's on the flexible side as you suggest
Been thinking of this shoe for a while, struggling to find a review in English, plenty of reviews from SE Asia, w/o English translations. I’ll definitely add this pair in my rotation with the Hendra Setiawan that I have. Used to own yonex but the cushion bottoms out quickly and I put too much pressure on my forefoot so been looking for thicker cushioned insoles. Great honest independent review, thanks and keep it up 👍
Great video! Found your text reviews via Google and have been liking your content. Happy to see video reviews also. I did not find a good video review in English of victor badminton shoes other than your channel so thank you
Aw gosh was really excited about this one but I don’t think I’ll go for it anymore seeing that the midsole cushion isn’t that great. How would you compare it to the 65 z3?
Would you be able to test the lining windlite 900 racket? I have been using it for more than a year now, and apart from a few small paint chips due to my own clumsiness, its always performed excellently for me. I started using it as I started to move up into the intermediate category, and now as I am reaching advanced, and still find the racket to be very reliable, it can generate power, but it also feels decently fast (im not an expert on testing rackets, so im not sure how it will compare to others). Its also reletively cheap, and i think it could be a great low cost option for beginner and intermediate players
Great to see you making youtube videos! Amazing content as usual! And as always, thanks for being so supportive, your advice has hugely helped me on my badminton journey!
