"It's Gotta Be The Shoes" (and Racket)

I am playing badminton twice a week with the Asheville Badminton Club. To play badminton at a high level, it's key to have a quality racket and a good pair of shoes. My racket is the Nanospeed 9900, which I purchased at a bargain price in Bangkok my last visit. The racket usually runs $240 here, but I bought it there for $120. My footwear is soon to be YONEX SHB-100 LTD POWER CUSHION shoes. Let the games begin!
