Would love to see a 2023 round up where you go over your favorite rackets in each category, i.e., speed, control, and power. Preferably with your favorites in each category at different price points.
I’ll forever wear the EZ3. The ankle protection and fit is amazing. I also noticed my knees felt much better versus the other Yonex and Asics shoes I was wearing. Worth every penny.
I heard that yonex is also gonna launch a new astrox 88 series sometime in 2024 on top of the NF Nextage in jan and the white 65Z3s in march. quite excited for that if it’s true!
I previously had 65r3 before having the eclipsion z3, I immediately felt more stable on my steps but when I wear my 65r3 again I felt it providing me more agility on court compared to the eclipsion.
How about the victorA970 one where LZJ wears? I've seen some reviews online it's better than 65z3. Saw some local club players here wearing them a lot along with the 65z3 including myself.
I like the new 65Z C-90 design color but the durability seems to be poorer compared to the (non-sustainable) material 65Z. I have had 3 pairs of the 65Z series before buying this pair. I find the inner part of the left foot (i'm a right handed player) wears out much faster compared to the original materials. Also, anecdotally I feel the cushioning doesn't last as long as the original shoes neither. I probably won't pick up another pair if designed with similar material.
For anyone looking for size advice for the Eclipsion Z's: I'm a UK size 11 (in Nike) but I ordered these in 11 1/2 (as it's recommended to go a half size up in Yonex shoes). But size 11 would have been perfect for me as there's a lot of space in the toe with the 11 1/2's, but they still fit fine and don't feel at all like they're too big. Better a 1/2 size too big than 1/2 size too small.
@@huynhxuanviet9818 both the insole and outsole of Claw 1 and claw 2 are paper thin🙃 definitely not for people who are on the heavier side. I learn it the hard way.
I’ll forever wear the EZ3. The ankle protection and fit is amazing. I also noticed my knees felt much better versus the other Yonex and Asics shoes I was wearing. Worth every penny.
To compare with, any recommendation of model of badminton shoes from other brands (Like Victor, Lining, Mizuno) with similar fitting with 65Z3 for replacement?
I just purchased the wide version of the Eclipsion Z3 and the grip is the worst I used from any Yonex shoe that I have used in the past (Comfort Z3, SHB-65 xmx, power cushion shb-sc5mx). They fit well and seem to have good build quality, but the outsole just doesn't grip (used on sport court). They slip when flat and are like ice skates if you get slightly on the edge. They are an injury waiting to happen.
ck yew , I wanted to know the durability on the 65z3 I play 6 times a week as a singles player I wanted to know that I how will these last me. Thanks and regards
Generally, I would recommend you to measure your foot size with a ruler with badminton socks on. Then pick the correct shoe size based on your measurement. I have a shoe size chart for yonex on my blog at ckyew.com/blog
Not a big fan of the colour of the 65 Z C-90, so I'll stick with my black pair. But I saw pictures of the white with silver version, and those look incredible!
I have the same problem, but I don't really feel it when i'm on court, only afterwards. But apart from that I love them, I definitely feel more confident as a new player (11 months) in them. I previously had Karakal ProLite shoes, which I wouldn't recommend.
I would love to see a UA-cam short where you go a little more in depth about stringing the cross strings at a higher tension than the mains. Why do some players string at a greater difference in tension between the cross and mains. Is that due to the difference in the shape of many racquet models and should I only string the cross higher than the mains after first stringing the cross and mains at the same tension. Some say it’s to keep it back to the same shape but some say to keep it as the shape it originally is.
Yonex doesn’t mention 4E it just says wide (which is 2E) but it might work for 4E. I use it and it’s comparable to my Altra Vanish Tempo shoes in the toe box
I'm planning to buy a badminton shoe for my dad and looking to find a shoe which has the best cushioning and comfort. He is a long time badminton player. Any recommendations. Thanks.
I initially had that thought too but once u slip them on and get them on the court and compare it to budget shoes, you wl understand why the price is so high
The 65 z3 are great but i found the rubber to chip off near the edges of the shoe. If they can improve the durability and retain the grip, then they’ll have the perfect shoe. In addition, i found the part where i drag my foot near the upper wears out quickly so i feel a more durable section is much needed.
@@CKYew I play mainly on victor and yonex badminton mat courts, very rarely on wood. The chunks of rubber that fell of doesn’t noticeably affect performance but it doesn’t really give me peace of mind in terms of durability.
When it comes to comfort and cushioning, eclipsion z or comfort z series? Looking for more support to prevent potential knee injuries also more durable. Thank you!
@@deekay13 true. I am playing badminton on the cemented floor. I was looking for good shoes. Whatever I buy, they are being wasted. So if you come to know about any good shoes suggest me
Hi ck, what the best shoes for heel support in your opinion? Currently using shb65 c90, but my heel hurts after playing 3 hours session. Or maybe power cushion insole can help? Thx!
I see so many pros use the 65Z3 and i don't know why even though the Eclipsion Z3 is better than 65Z3 in every way?? And may i ask, which one is better for playing both indoors and outdoors because im usually mixing between indoors and outdoors, thank you

Can u make comparison mizuno wave fang 2 and yonex 65z3

1000%!!!!!
Oooffff!! there's so many to choose from! 🤣

Been waiting so long for this comparison
🙏
I have Mizuno Wave Claw Neo 2, Eclipsion Z 1st gen, z2, and z3 wide version. The z3 wide is my favorite, most comfortable, and most stable footwork.
I just bought the z3, the stability is out of this world!
amazing quality video mate! KEEP IT UP!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love the hoodie!
I heard that yonex is also gonna launch a new astrox 88 series sometime in 2024 on top of the NF Nextage in jan and the white 65Z3s in march. quite excited for that if it’s true!
yes, during all england
@@fawwazrochmanu6707 really? that’s pretty soon!
Where did you get that infomation?
would love to see shoe reviews from different brands too
Coming soon!

I agree and I wear them myself. The comfort and fit was far superior. No joke. However the price is much expensive compare to these two yonexs shoes.
Ooooooooo
most victor shoes are v-shape not comfortable for wide feet

I would measure your foot accurately with badminton socks on with a ruler and use the size guide on my blog for accurate sizing. Ckyew.com/blog
Had both shoes: the mizuno wave claw 2 are better in every way IMO. 👍🏿
Mizuno's cushion is not as good as Yonex imo
Used the wave claw pro, fits better, but worse grip and cushioning was at best like an aerus
@@huynhxuanviet9818 cushion isnt better but everything else is better IMO.
@@huynhxuanviet9818 both the insole and outsole of Claw 1 and claw 2 are paper thin🙃
definitely not for people who are on the heavier side.
I learn it the hard way.
I used the wave claw neo and I played 4-6 hrs/week, the cushion dies after only 10 months 🫤
Yo CK,can you please please please do a review and comparisons between the Aerus Z and Comfort Z
Used to love colours on shoes but my dream is to get a pure white shoe for my next one, something about pure white shoes on court that looks good.
Sounds the upcoming 65Z in full white might be your thing 👌
Which shoe do you think is best for prevention of ankle injury? I injured it once and really want to avoid it
eclipson Z3 is best for stability
I’ll forever wear the EZ3. The ankle protection and fit is amazing. I also noticed my knees felt much better versus the other Yonex and Asics shoes I was wearing. Worth every penny.
Any recommendations on badminton insole?
Power cushion AC195 or AC196?
Planning to buy 65z3 ch white series but still thinkig if this is good for wide feet
To compare with, any recommendation of model of badminton shoes from other brands (Like Victor, Lining, Mizuno) with similar fitting with 65Z3 for replacement?
is there a different basketball sneaker vs badminton sneaker if your not playing in a high competitive level game? thanks
I just purchased the wide version of the Eclipsion Z3 and the grip is the worst I used from any Yonex shoe that I have used in the past (Comfort Z3, SHB-65 xmx, power cushion shb-sc5mx). They fit well and seem to have good build quality, but the outsole just doesn't grip (used on sport court). They slip when flat and are like ice skates if you get slightly on the edge. They are an injury waiting to happen.
I have the same issue when changing from eclipsion Z to eclipsion Z3. The first vision has excellence grip.
Hi CK, could you please do lining blade pro shoes review and compare the insole with Yonex ones.
Happy with my Aerus Z in games, but prefers the 65 Z for training.
ck yew , I wanted to know the durability on the 65z3 I play 6 times a week as a singles player I wanted to know that I how will these last me. Thanks and regards
How long does your normal badminton shoe last you?
@@CKYew I've buyed a pair of yonex 65x3 that I'm currently using from 6 months but they are torn from multiple areas and the lunge tear came quickly
How much space should you have between your toes and top of the shoe? I have a pair but sometimes when I lunge is just slide forward.
Generally, I would recommend you to measure your foot size with a ruler with badminton socks on. Then pick the correct shoe size based on your measurement. I have a shoe size chart for yonex on my blog at ckyew.com/blog
@@CKYew thanks! Found it. Foot with socks measures about 27.3 cm so I would need 43 but have 44. Thats probably why I’m sliding a bit.
Please could you review the Victor Thruster TTY CK?
Its coming soon!
Have both, eclipsion all the way
Niceeeee!
When’s the new white colour way coming out. Should i wait for it or go with the white tiger??@CKYew
Plese ckyew put the lining shoes rewieve pls fast
Not a big fan of the colour of the 65 Z C-90, so I'll stick with my black pair. But I saw pictures of the white with silver version, and those look incredible!
The white one sure looks 🔥🔥
Is there a White Tiger version for the 2023 model?
Ich got the eclipse for Christmas, unfortunately for me not the right shoe. My foot starts to hurting . It is a bit to tight on the frontfoot.
I have the same problem, but I don't really feel it when i'm on court, only afterwards. But apart from that I love them, I definitely feel more confident as a new player (11 months) in them. I previously had Karakal ProLite shoes, which I wouldn't recommend.

Some say it’s to keep it back to the same shape but some say to keep it as the shape it originally is.
Generally its 10% extra on the crosses compared to the mains. But often its down to personal preference of the player
Still waiting the comparison of the lightest shoes from li-ning and yonex. 😅
The 65Z3 is 4E wide? If not, what series shoes are 4E wide?
Yonex doesn’t mention 4E it just says wide (which is 2E) but it might work for 4E. I use it and it’s comparable to my Altra Vanish Tempo shoes in the toe box
@@NikhilonYT Thank you for the info
@@McKinleyPTA-n1t yes I use the Eclipsion Z wide just to clarify
Happy 2024! Which ones are the most similar to the old Lin Dan shoes ?
The yonex power cushion comfort
Could you please review shoes from victor and li ning
Which is more durable 65z or eclipsion z
whats the shoelace on your 65z3 white tiger? it looks colourfully n nice😂 how can i get the same one
I'm planning to buy a badminton shoe for my dad and looking to find a shoe which has the best cushioning and comfort. He is a long time badminton player. Any recommendations. Thanks.
Yonex power cushion 65 z3 is good bro
does infinity 2 BOA still winning all?
Would you say the power cushion 65 accommodates wider feet?
I'm aware there's a wide model 👌
hi CK. Can you help me. Which Yonex shoes has the best sole that does not feel hard . Cos I try comfort Z .it feels hard
Try the Eclipsion and 65 👌
Are they wide foot friendly? Do you have recommendations for wide shoes for badminton?
Both models here have wide models 👌
What about eclipson Z3 Vs Comfort Z3?
I personally prefer the Eclipsion
What beginner strings do you reccomend for early teens
65
which shoe would you recommend durability as well as comfort wise?
Both are great although I’d expect the Eclipsion to be more durable
@@CKYew Thankyou
Can u review about victor p8500ii shoe
What string do you recommend for arcsaber 11 play?
I love Aerobite
Luckily, I did manage to get a 65Z C-90. I do really love it. But, it is a bit pricy though.
I initially had that thought too but once u slip them on and get them on the court and compare it to budget shoes, you wl understand why the price is so high
i really want to see a review of li ning shoes plsssss
The 65 z3 are great but i found the rubber to chip off near the edges of the shoe. If they can improve the durability and retain the grip, then they’ll have the perfect shoe. In addition, i found the part where i drag my foot near the upper wears out quickly so i feel a more durable section is much needed.
rubber chipping off?? 😬 How abrasive are the courts you play at?
@@CKYew I play mainly on victor and yonex badminton mat courts, very rarely on wood. The chunks of rubber that fell of doesn’t noticeably affect performance but it doesn’t really give me peace of mind in terms of durability.
Yeah i have same problem on my z3. The outsole rubber is slowly chip off
I have the same problem too. This is very strange. It never happens before.
@@yuen0726 Based on my experience, natural rubber outsole tends to chip off faster than coloured or dyed outsoles.
Can you please share us list of Wide form Badminton shoes
may be find some altra shoes to try on, really like them
Both these models have wide options as well as the latest generation of Aerus
Does eclipsion have a wide version?
Yes they do!
When it comes to comfort and cushioning, eclipsion z or comfort z series? Looking for more support to prevent potential knee injuries also more durable. Thank you!
Suggest shoes on cement floor ( outdoor court)
Hardcourt tennis shoes or outdoor basketball shoes. Badminton shoes have soft rubber soles and are only meant for indoor court surfaces.
@@deekay13 true. I am playing badminton on the cemented floor. I was looking for good shoes. Whatever I buy, they are being wasted. So if you come to know about any good shoes suggest me

Hi ck, what the best shoes for heel support in your opinion? Currently using shb65 c90, but my heel hurts after playing 3 hours session. Or maybe power cushion insole can help? Thx!
Are you playing on concrete or very hard flooring? Additionally; it could also be related to your landing technique 😬

The ecliption does everything for me. Speed, durability, and speed. It too good
Nice!!
Shb 65 is really popular among yonex pro player
Yep
Based on my experience the eclipsion quite hurt the mid part of my shoe it's not comfortable
Ps: been using the shoes for 8 months
Do you have wide feet?
You continued with it even though it hurts? 😬
it only hurts during a hard match and hard training@@CKYew
I guess, I recently bought the 65z3 wide (the orange/white) and I loved the feeling and the comfort it gives@@streetninja23
