The COURT CONTROL™ FF 2 shoe is an excellent choice for badminton players engaging in long rallies with a high jump and smash style of play. Designed to improve lateral support, this shoe also increases flexibility to accommodate quick multi-directional movements. An improved fit around the ankle helps players quickly shift directions, while the loop system in the eyelets increases midfoot support. Functional during multi-directional movements, the lateral wrap-up outsole is paired with flex grooves in the outsole to offer excellent stability and flexibility on the court. Thanks to the upper PU (polyurethane) construction, this application offers a better fit with more support and flexibility. Additionally, the PGUARD™ technology in the medial forefoot increases durability and keeps the shoe from creating too much friction with the court. Paired with GEL™ technology cushioning and a FLYTEFOAM™ midsole material to increase shock absorption, the COURT CONTROL™ FF 2 shoe is a recommended model for competitive badminton players with a baseline to net playing style.
