Which Shoes??

Hi, I’m a female and I’m looking for badminton shoes. I used to play badminton frequently now it’s just not the same. I have a tournament ( very random plan) coming up and I need your help/opinion on the badminton shoes for these two particularly(pics attached).

I did my research and found that people mostly recommended Yonex but this one particularly says it’s for Men so I’m confused but I have already placed the order for the Yonex one.

I would call myself as an Intermediate player but my younger bro disagrees. I really need to play and gotta see what level I’m at now.

I’m open to other shoes recommendations but my budget isn’t too high (2.5k)

TLDR- need shoes opinion on the attached pics, new suggestions on the same are welcomed. Thanks

What an achievement on Day 1.

Ayush Shetty faced off to upset the defending champion Shi Yu Qi in the r64 of the world championships 2026 in an intense 21-14, 13-21, 21-19 thriller. Really nerve wracking experience. Needs to work a bit on the mental tho since Shi Yu Qi almost pulled off a comeback in the last set from 15-6 to 20-19.

Selling my Yonex Astrox Attack 9 – Bangalore

Hey everyone, I’m looking to sell my Yonex Astrox Attack 9.

It’s around 6–7 months old and has been used for roughly 60–70 games. The racket is in excellent condition with no damage, and the original cover is also in very good condition.

Selling it only because I’m planning to upgrade to a higher-end racket.

I am looking for around ₹1,300. Slightly negotiable for a genuine buyer.

📍 Bangalore
DM me if interested. I can share more details if required.

Yonex vs Linning

Hey I decided to purchase either Yonex Mavis 350 or Linning future 10 I am somewhere between intermediate and beginner

Well one shopkeeper told me to get 1 Mavis 350 from his shop and pay ₹150 first if I found the shuttle is genuine then pay for the rest of the box

I used to play with Mavis 10 and it was durable and now I need your suggestions for future purchase

Thanks

Got new racquet after 5 years- Yonex Attack 9

Hi This is my first post here.

I have been playing for five years and previously owned an Apacs 999 racquet, which I found to be excellent. I had restrung it three times due to my aggressive smashing style. Today, the string broke for the fourth time.

I decided to purchase a new racquet and got the Attack 9 for ₹1500 on Flipkart Mins.

Could you please share your insights on this racquet? I have seen other players using it.

Also, what is the default string tension given by default?

Which might be best for attacking, intermediate to advanced player, coming from lining 3d caliber x boost. Expecting more power during attacking.

Axforce Cannon Build quality

The Li ning Axforce Cannon is a demanded racket but still the shaft build quality is average to worst.Many of the Cannon users are reporting the shaft breakage without any clashes.Nowadays lining is losing its credibility over the durability.

5U racket with AxForce Blast-level smash?

Hey guys, looking for a 5U replacement/backup for my Li-Ning AxForce Blast 5U, which I absolutely loved but recently broke.

What I loved about the Blast:

5U (75–79g)

Head-heavy

Flexible 7mm shaft

Very effortless/heavy smash despite being 5U

Fast enough for my aggressive doubles games

I’ve tried 4U before and it causes shoulder discomfort, so 5U is non-negotiable.

Looking for something similar or better than the Blast, preferably under ₹5k.

Currently considering AxForce Cannon, Victor Thruster HAWK PRO, Hundred Nitrix Thunder/Attack, Halbertec 5U, etc.

What would you recommend? Especially if you've actually used the Blast 5U?

Is Babolat Badminton shoes worth buying in 2026?

Hello All,

I'm an intermediate+ player and I would like to improve my shoes, since as of now I'm using the shoe in Hundred brand.

I had an injury in my ankle where I'm very cautious while playing and have enquired with some players and all suggested to take the Babolat Shadow spirit where no major details about the shoe is available in YouTube nor in Instagram to know about it.

My main need is that, I need my ankle to be safe and stable. So I'm mainly focused on that.

I had my mind in taking Lining Halberg or Asics Gel rocket.

Would appreciate if someone can verify if this new racquet is authentic

Bought this 100 tour kurenai from prokicksports.com online with custom strings and super grap. I’m currently out of town but my dad received the package and sent me these pics. I’m just a little worried that some of these numbers are a little faded on serial no. on the cap. Can someone check if this is legit?
