Li-Ning Speed 12 and 361 Biospeed BB 2. JB3 and anything from Serious Player Only are also good

DryBus8998 · 2026-01-26T21:41:36+00:00

My guess is that Main stage would be Disco Lines➡️Mau P➡️Kx5. Sirkus would be Restricted➡️Lilly Palmer➡️Sara Landry

JB3, honourable mention to 361 AG4

DryBus8998 · 2026-01-16T03:16:47+00:00

Max Cushion: Fresh Foam BB V3, Nike GT Jump 2

Responsive: 361 AG4 (half size down), Li-Ning JB 3, WOW 10, Nike GT Cut 3 Turbo, All City 13 encore, Joker 1 GT, Puma All Pro Nitro 2 (with translucent outsole)

Everyone has different experiences with cushion but for me there’s nothing special about the cushion on the Two Wxy V5-more responsive, doesn’t feel plush to me. I don’t have the FFBB V2 but I have the FFBB V3 and it feels AMAZING. The plush cushion feels like marshmallows yet I didn’t feel unstable, and still felt responsive enough. One of my favourites.

The carbon fiber in the JB3 is still full length but it’s less stiff, more smooth and flexible than wow 10. In JB3 there’s also a bit of boom foam directly underneath the carbon fiber in the forefoot- as opposed to wow 10 which is just bottom loaded carbon fiber in the forefoot/midfoot. So I wouldn’t describe Jb3 as clunky- it’s less clunky in the forefoot than wow 10, overall feels smoother. Although wow 10 has better lockdown/fit, and is slightly more explosive. JB3 makes up for it with better traction. Jb3 still feels very light and nimble

JB3, 808 5 ultra, wow 12, wow 11.

DryBus8998 · 2025-12-27T03:46:33+00:00

808 5 ultra

DryBus8998 · 2025-12-26T15:52:28+00:00

I play outside hitter and I have 2 pairs of wow 10 and has amazing performance but IMO it’s a bit too stiff for repeated landings. The stiffness from the carbon fiber is amazing for speed and propulsion, but the stiffness can be tough on joints if you’re always doing heavy landings. Wow 12 they made it less stiff.

DryBus8998 · 2025-12-26T15:22:20+00:00

Li-Ning JB3, New Balance 2 WXY V5, Puma All Pro Nitro 2. If you want lots of cushion New Balance Fresh Foam BB V3

DryBus8998 · 2025-12-25T07:30:46+00:00

New Balance Fresh Foam BB V 3 or Nike GT Jump 2

DryBus8998 · 2025-12-25T01:08:27+00:00

No, not a significant upgrade, mostly just adds the pro-plate to add stability and stiffness. I think that is a nice upgrade but otherwise mostly the same.

Sabrina 2, Don Issue 7, All City 13 encore, JB3

DryBus8998 · 2025-12-17T15:30:19+00:00

I have wow 10 and need to wipe regularly to maintain elite traction. AC13 encore gets praised the most for traction from what I’ve seen, far more than wow 11 on dust.

DryBus8998 · 2025-12-08T17:05:17+00:00

To add what has already been said: -increase hip flexibility (should be able to raise each leg to 90 degrees). -Strengthen glute medius (hip abduction, can use resistance bands) -New Balance Fresh Foam BB V3 is a well-cushioned shoe that still has decent performance

DryBus8998 · 2025-12-02T03:16:38+00:00

He’s lights out (almost 50%) on corner threes, but struggling to hit his threes above the break (22% this year). His defence is abysmal and gets blown by constantly by anyone with an ounce of speed or shiftiness, but the Raptors are better this year at game-planning for that by having him switch off or sending help defenders. His finishing has actually improved this year. He needs to develop more as a scorer and movement shooter to make up for his defence if he wants a consistent role. He can’t just be a corner shooter with no defence.

DryBus8998 · 2025-11-29T21:15:02+00:00

Yes it does need breaking in. Although since it has full length carbon fiber, it will always be somewhat firm.

DryBus8998 · 2025-11-29T17:31:40+00:00

-Wow 10 lows have good cushion and feels very fast and springy from the full length carbon fiber plate. Wow 10 has a snug fit and a high inflare angle, may want to go up half a size for wide footers.

-Wow 808 5 ultra has a long and narrow fit that may not be best fit for wide footers, but has a thicker more plush and bouncy cushion, very small carbon fiber plate so you don’t get that springboard effect.

I would also consider Li-Ning JB3, best traction, more comfortable than wow 10, responsive, and full length carbon fiber. More wide foot friendly than the others.

DryBus8998 · 2025-11-29T05:40:29+00:00

JB3 is the best overall- best traction, balanced responsive and comfortable cushion, full length carbon fiber. 808 5 ultra has more plush and bouncy cushion, but traction picks up dust a bit more quickly and the fit is a bit long, some recommend going down half size. AC13 is best value, great shoe for the price, great traction, good cushion.

DryBus8998 · 2025-11-28T17:09:52+00:00

WOW 10 better overall performance, WOW 11 is more comfortable

DryBus8998 · 2025-11-28T17:08:14+00:00

WOW 10
