non-player racket recos or do you sell your racket?

Hi im not a player, just playing to move my body after a whole week of wfh. But I do queuing with other players since I dont have any friends in the city. Any recos po na legit rackets na cheap sa orange app or malls. If you are selling you're rackets, maybe I can buy it in a good price. Just needs a racket po na magtatagal at matibay.

Thoughts about the Victor A970cHP?

I’ve been looking for badminton shoes not more than 6-7k and I came across the Victor A970cHP. Is it good? I’m just a casual player and I kinda want to be better in the future. I’m still using my regular running shoes but I almost killed my ankle when my shoes suddenly went off my foot. And from what I read here, good badminton shoes are a must to prevent injury, so I’m planning to buy shoes. I don’t want to splurge on Yonex’s top of the lines shoes, since it’s wayyyyy over my budget, and I feel like I don’t need the pro-level models right now especially that I’m still a casual player.

So, I wanna know your thoughts about it. Is it any good? Or am I better off with other brands?

Thank you!

Shoe marks/wear and tear comparison

Just wondering if other people develop the same skid/wear and tear patterns on their shoes.

For context, these are Yonex Cascade Accel and I've had them since Dec 2024. I play at a minimum of 7 hours a week in queues. Technique-wise, I use toe-slide footwork a lot for deep lunges.

I also have a skidmark near the big toe metatarsal but I think that is more common than actually having marks on the toe. In my queueing groups, no one seems to have the same wear and tear marks.

Would love to see your wear and tears on your shoes also if you've been using for more than a year!

+EDIT:

If you know any good wide toebox shoes, please leave a recommendation!

Racket, string recommendation. Please include specs if possible.

Hi! I just recently got into badminton (5 weeks straight na kami naglalaro on a weekend, although we played before naman since childhood pero wala sa official court).

I just want to ask lang some recommendation sa racket and strings. Gusto ko sana parang may pag ka metallic sound pag humahampas, nung hiniram ko kasi racket ng friend ko ang ganda ng sound nya pag hinahampas and I felt that parang mas gumanda laro ko. Also, sana more on the lightweight po sya, I experienced heavier racket before and medyo di kasi ako comfortable.

Thank you very much.

LF Badminton Friend Group

Hello! I’m looking for a beginner-friendly badminton friend group around PARAÑAQUE (any area) and MAKATI (around DragonSmash) !

I recently started taking badminton more seriously and would love to join a badminton friend group/club. (not necessarily a queuing group but i’m fine with any).

Preferably people around my age as well (I’m M20+). My current skill level is still BEGINNER, so please bear with me ! I also haven’t tried queuing nor played with other people before so I might be quiet at first lol

Hoping to meet new people and find a group I can comfortably grow and play with!
