To be honest CK as a badminton lover in Malaysia it’s very hard to find any good informative videos on badminton equipment you are the only channel I have found that goes into such detail when reviewing the products. Good job and keep up the good work 👍
Hey CK, I really love your videos especially these reviews. Would love to see reviews of Li Ning or comparisons between Yonex and Li Ning rackets and shoes if possible. Keep em coming (Y)
Great and informative channel - thanks! I am looking to switch from Adidas (have long used the Stabil series, regular width fits my slightly wide foot fine, but they don't seem to offer a real indoor shoe anymore). Can you say a bit about the width of Yonex shoes? Are they considered 'narrow fitting'? The regular width looks wide enough but its hard to tell. Are models like the "65Z wide" actually wide or more like a regular width?
I legit got these shoes less than 10 hours ago before this review come up… This is my first badminton shoes and while I’m happy with my purchase, I wished this video was available 😅. So hard to find a review for this specific shoe. On the bright side, the gray/pale green color is a beauty!
coming from aerus 3 that i have been using for the last 4 years, this shoe is good but a tad bit narrower than the aerus 3. i need quite significantly longer time to break in, but otherwise it is comfortable and works as it should be. as for weight, when it is in my feet, i cant really tell the different.
@@CKYew a little update, I decided to ditch my power cascade after 2-3 months and finally decided to buy the Aerus Z to replace my Aerus 3. Although I got the same size as my Aerus 3, for some reason it was getting uncomfortable to wear after 2-3 matches every time I use it and I always end up using my Aerus 3 for the remainder of my time whenever I am playing. I think it's because it is narrower than the Aerus. So for you guys who have wider feet, please beware of this limitation!
Mizuno wave claw 2 > 65z3 I personally prefer the mizuno wave claw 2 then anything yonex makes for shoes . You should really try it CK , low clearance, super duper grippy, super snug fit like your not wearing shoes at all!!! , it’s truely amazing shoes they have a higer model called wave fang pro as well … Anyone else have mizuno Wave claw 2 ??
I have the previous wave claw, really love the performance of that shoes, right now I'm using the 65z3 wide because the cushion is more softer on my heels. But still gonna use that wave claw!! It's just too good!! The only downside is the cushion on the heels is a lot firmer than yonex power cushion+
@@dhimasbayuajipamungkas2940 awesome! You shoold try the wave claw 2 , they remodeled it with all the corrections in mind 🥰 there few videos on youtube about the WC2
@@nagodio definitely will go back to Mizuno, but i think I'll wait for the next gen of wave claw, maybe when they put the enerzy foam on the heel of the shoe.
Hello CK, would you mind helping me pick between these shoes? I was looking at the Eclipsion X, Aerus X, 65X3 and these Cascade Drives. I am an intermediate player who uses an attacking style of play. I have used the Power Cushion 50, but I will return them due to a fault in one of the shoes. Would you know how each of these shoes compare to the Power Cushion 50? If not, how do these shoes compare to each other in terms of durability, feel, padding and stiffness? Thank you!
@@CKYew Okay, I've had a look at the prices and for the discounts I can get I see that the Aerus and Eclipsion X models are not worth buying as the Z models are barely more expensive. However, I can get the 65X3 for 1/3 the price of the 65Z3. I don't want to spend a huge amount, and the any of the Z models (they're roughly similar in price) would push my budget. How do the Cascade Drives compare to either of those?
Just ordered this because it was on sale on TikTok shop and the price was RM199 compared to the original price RM350 (NP RM600). The best deal I have this year 😂😂
i really wonder what is the major different between astrox 99 pro and astrox 99 old?, astrox 100zz new vs astrox zz old? astrox 100zx vs astrox 100 tour ? if you can make video about this, i will really appreciate it
There's no difference between 100ZZ blue and red, its just the paintjob + i've also done a comparison between the different 100 models. Its already on my channel.
Hey CK , I have had an ankle injury lately .Ever since that I have been looking for a badminton shoe which has the best ankle support , stability . The present shoe that I use isn't great at the ankle support and I get blisters too , so it isn't comfortable at all . Can you please help me out on suggesting me with a couple of shoes that fit to the above need ? (ankle support + supreme comfort )
Hi ck.. i've never able to test or use many badminton shoes, but from yonex range which one would you recommend to get for wide toe? I described myself as a hard hitter player
Change the inner sole and your tying your laces incorrectly, hence the sliding. There should be loop holes on the top holes. Anyway, thanks for the review…
Badminton shoes are specifically design to aid with the movements we use when we play badminton. Using the wrong shoes might not provide the best cushioning or performance.
Yew which is the best in terms of cushioning. I get pain in my heels after 2 hour game. I use Power cushion 37 with insoles. For a two hour game and my age it seems inadequate. I am planning on buying good shoes which protect my feet.
@@CKYew cushion wise which is the best out of the ones youve listed?because all top ends seem to have good power cushion.But which do you think is the best for feet health.
All the ones with Power Cushion + seems to be good, at least from my experience. So the 65Z, Eclipsion Z, Comfort are some good models for you to check oit
I need your opinion, I would love to get these in the Red and id just swich out the insole which is great on sale for $150CDN But i tried a pair of Victor A970ACE today which were incredibly comfortable as well but $200CDN is a tad bit more than i wanted to spend do you feel that getting the Victors would be worth the extra $50? Thanks for the help in advance.
Great video about a shoe I haven't seen too much about. I was intrigued by this shoes when I saw it announced, because of the look. You saying that it was more a mid- to high-end badminton shoe made sense, since I haven't really scene any pro wearing one. The only player I think I saw wearing the red version was Zhang Yi Man during the German Open, when I saw her live. Not sure if you have noticed anyone else? :)
@@CKYew Yeah true I saw that in another video! By the way I rewatched my German Open footage and I don't think Zhang Yi Man was wearing them. I think she wore the Yonex 65 X2 in red/black. It just looked like it from far away. 😂
I haven’t checked the footage from German open but Chinese players do have access to certain models the rest of the world doesn’t like He BingJiao and her 001! 😂
I searched from the internet, maybe it's only sold in Korean, I also see those shoes when I watched a Korean drama about badminton named “Love all play”, some actors wear them in the drama. I decided to buy them after that 😂
Im using aerus z2 wide (43) shouldve been 42 so i add extra cushion on the ankle section. The thing is now both my ankle hurt.. any recommendation what i should do? Or change to other type of shoe? Thank you so much!
@sentoelu we don’t know if it’s the shoe that’s causing you pain or you have an injury. I would recommend having a little rest and let the pain heal before making a decision
Okay let’s buy this shoes ……together with a pair of insoles! Well that is fine for me because the hard skin under my feet always damaged the insoles. Your sophisticated review works so keep it up 👍 CK btw you just helped YONEX to secure another customer 😂
Hey CK, awesome videos, if you get a chance can you please review Asics Gel Rocket 10, I picked them up last week for around $110 aud ($74 usd) They are super awesome. You see im based in Australia we dont get much choice due to the demand but I did get hands on Asics. btw keep up the amazing content :)
Too bad, I haven't seen your video before, I just ordered the shoes because of the look XD I'm pretty scared for the insoles issues, and it's pretty hard to find good insoles for badminton...
This is my current shoes. When I tried all the other high-end Yonex shoes, they didn't feel as comfortable as Cascade Drive. So which Yonex shoes is your favorite now? For cushion, any recommendations from Victor, Li-ning, or others?
The best Looking, with durable Material, yet Good-Great Performance Badminton shoes is Comfort Z series To me Cascade Drive is too flimsy and not as durable as Synthetic Mesh material shoe

Hi CK which one better for rubber court either cascade drive or asics gel blade 8...

Do badminton shoes make an impact on performance plus preserving the knees from the pressure it goes through ?
Short answer, yes.
Never wear runners, or indoor football shoes for playing badminton. You'll regret your decision later.
