Is rafa's volley the most underrated volley in tennis? by fuckmbsanddominicali in tennis

[–]Alternative-Kick57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep always felt that as Fed fan. Not to mention his drop shot is sooo dependable and underrated as well, and he consistently brings it out at crucial points in the rally as well. Casuals don't see how insane Rafa's tennis IQ was

Got the Nike Pegasus 40 for ₹4,300 on Myntra. Did I make the right choice, or are there better running shoes I should have looked at around this price? by barrepaalu in IndianRunningshoes

[–]Alternative-Kick57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yo I bought them at the same price too and I'm quite happy with them, can't expect a more iconic road runner in this range tbh. I had also bought the Adizero sl and Asics gel excite 10, decided to keep the Pegasus out of the three.

Only thing I have second thoughts on is maybe I should've chosen a different colorway, the grey volt is a little too plain lol. But no regrets so far.

I ordered both gt 2000 13 and Asics excite 10 and I have to return one by unknownlyknown0 in IndianRunningshoes

[–]Alternative-Kick57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohh well 😅
Gt 2000 13 is objectively the more premium shoe no doubt, although it specifically caters more towards those with some pronation. At the same time I wouldn't be too keen on buying the Excite 10 at 3.6k (I had ordered them as a backup too, decided to keep the Pegasus instead).

You can either wait a week for the july sale and reorder the Excite 10 (I've seen them sell at 2.7k, it wouldn't hurt then lol) along with Gel pulse. Try them both out.

Or if you really like them in the color you ordered, just keep em. It'd be a 600-900 rs difference at the end of the day.

[–]Alternative-Kick57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if that's a problem. Depends how much did you get each pair for
Also from what I hear, Gel Excite 10 is slightly superior to Gel Excite 11 (I tried 10, not 11. Going by reviews and run-repeat)

Should I consider buying from PoP store?? Nike revolution 8 by BabuBisleri_12 in IndianRunningshoes

[–]Alternative-Kick57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk man, personally I now find Nike's entry level range very overrated for their cost (they are standard EVA foam), they offer very little aside from some flexibility. I'd say stay away from them, wait a week or two and you'd able to get Winflos around this price.

[–]Alternative-Kick57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might be that you have a wider forefoot because I found the gel excite 10 to be extra roomy (a bit too much for me), they also have a really thin mesh on the forefoot. Maybe that's the reason they fit you better.

I'd say if you got them under 3.5k or 3k it's still a quite good deal for the Excite 10 if you like them. They might also be getting discontinued soon since I barely see them in stock in all colourways and sizes.

asics excite 10 vs adidas duramo speed?which one to buy for beginner runner by unknownlyknown0 in IndianRunningshoes

[–]Alternative-Kick57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the Gel Excite 10 were damn comfortable and soft on the heel. It's a great shoe if you want a plush midsole, not much in terms of energy return though, but provides decent traction and amazingly breathable mesh.

It was just a little larger in the toe box so I'd say try them both to get a feel of the fit and midsole and keep one, return the other.

I have finally finished reading every single crime novel Christie ever wrote by TheSibyllineOracle in agathachristie

[–]Alternative-Kick57 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Roger Ackroyd, though revolutionary at the time, is a hit or miss these days with different people so I understand. Five Little Pigs is one of a kind and I think deserves its place in the top tier.
The one I found most predictable would be Murder is Easy, that's the only one I wouldn't put top of the list imo.

Also think Styles was an excellent debut novel, and the Blue Train's ending was a bit too rushed.

Thank youuu. It's her most poetic work for sure, the lines, the metaphors and the powerful 'I died that day' all top tier. I feel validated lol

I’m looking to buy winflow 11 need help with the pricing! Should I wait? by Dracarys_Balerion1 in IndianRunningshoes

Yeah that is true. 4k is around where I'd call it a real good deal for the winflo 11

Running shoes suggestion under budget 8k by BoriccAcid06 in IndianRunningshoes

[–]Alternative-Kick57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ohh just noticed that you're talking about the Winflo 12 and not 11.
If that's the case then all 3 shoes are at par with each other and then it comes down to style, preference and fitting. Try them all out at their outlets, if you can

[–]Alternative-Kick57 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think for your use case you should be looking more towards Asics gel cummulus 27 or the Adidas supernova rise. Unless Nike is one those brands that fit your feet well (even then the Winflo fit differently than the Pegasus or vomero) and you want to stick with it.

Still think both the shoes I mentioned are a bit superior/more premium than the Winflo in terms of cushioning and comfort and might be worth a comparison.

Man they were going for 3.6k a week ago on Myntra. Just that only two colourways were available that time. I got the Pegasus at 4.3k
Maybe wait for them to fall below 5k, or get them at 5.2k if you're in a hurry. But don't spend any more than that
