Personally I would I probably go for the £120 shoes and the £80 racket. My logic is the £120 for the shoes gets you into the top range in the market, where as £80-£120 for the racket will generally keep you in the mid range. Obviously this will vary depending on personal preference.
Interesting that you didnt include other manufacturers, especially when Yonex footwear is quite poorly reviewed compared to other brands. Victor P9200 are an absolute dream 👌🏻
We are lucky to be sponsored by Yonex so they provided us with the shoes but agree there are other shoes available. We hope you still found the video useful.
I remember a time when Yonex only made one shoe, but over 80% of pro badminton players wore them. They were so light and soft, but if you were a player that played every day, you'd wear them out in 3-4 months. Today's Yonex shoes feel like wearing bricks compared to those shoes.
Why are we looking at only Yonex shoes. I use Yonex shoes but I remember the Olympic women champion can’t use Yonex because they get really bad blisters.
They were the only shoes we had available to do the video. There are others available for sure that may suit people better. The wide fit option from Yonex was a good addition.
Logical conclusion, but here's a question... If you have £200 to spend, is a £120 racket and £80 shoes "better" than a £80 racket and £120 shoes?
Shoes > strings > racket.

Great timing of the vid as I plan to buy a new pair now lol. My last pair of Salmings were pretty good for me, will look at these options
Great to hear, hope it helped you find your next pair of shoes 👍
Tokyo ultima and presecion 2 could be a better option !
Nice, have you used the shoes you listed? Any thoughts on them?
@TheBadmintonZoneHQ they are budget friendly and the both model are like professional category shoes 🙌🏻

That’s interesting, they are more durable than they use to be for sure. We find the Aerus shoes very light.
