I understand your pricing doubts.

 

I have already asked the question on Adidas team and been assured pricing will be good. I am not allowed to divulge the pricing I was told but if Adidas deliver according to what they have told me then I'm sure you will be delighted with pricing.

 

What I am allowed to say is that none of their rackets will be sold for more than £160 and I've included a hefty margin in advertising this figure.

 

Now I've committed to saying this, I hope Adidas don't let me down!

Does anyone know when the Adidas badminton range will be coming to the UK? I can't find any information and their Facebook page doesn't say much last time I looked. They were supposed to have released their range a few months ago?

 

Has anyone from another country got an Adidas stockist yet? Are Adidas any good? What about shuttles?

 

Also, is there an official Victor stockist in the UK (Paul might know the answer to this one)? Will there be one? I was given a tube of Victor shuttles to try and they seem OK for there cheap price but wanted to know if Victor have a UK base?

I have the AdiPower Pro. Mine does not have any country coding on it. Anyway you can get them from mybadmintstore, shuttlehouse or racquetforce. 

I like how it plays and how maneuverable it is. Great for doubles and singles.

Pete

 

Adidas launched 1 August and their goods are in stock at Direct Sports and many other retailers. I tested their top 4 rackets last march and they were very good indeed. i haven't seen their shoes, bags or shuttles to know what they're like. You should try their hybrid string, it's really good.

 

With regard to Victor. the big three offical stockists are

 

Direct Sports

Central Sports

Tennis Nuts

 

Also Badmintonbase.co.uk are Victor Specialists.

It plays very well compared to my TK8k. It's stiffer so closer to my Legend II. Very fast and maneuverable and excellent control. I found the Z-Force not great for finesse and control type shots. 

I currently use ZM62 on all my rackets so they all feel very crisp.
