Anyone tried the following Head shoes?
Head Genesis: http://store.racquetworld.com/603200951.html
Head Legend: http://www.squashgear.com/head-legend-indoor-court-mens-shoes.html
Head Evolution: http://www.squashgear.com/head-evolution-mens-court-shoes-black-white.html
Looking for some low, lightweight ones with a reasonable amount of padding. These are apparently on the wide side, which is the main issue I have with the Asics variants I've tried so far (too narrow).

"If you've ever been in New York CIty's Grand Central Terminal you know it's an incredibly bustling place, especially at rush hour. So if you're going to drop a court and throw one of the Squash world's richest tournaments, why not do it there? Well, that's exactly what The Professional Squash Association's J.P. Morgan's Tournament of Champions does every year. And with player compensation at $115,000 this year, it definitely seems like an upscale affair, again, dropped right in the middle of large numbers of people flowing through beautiful architecture...."

Looking to sell a brand new (never used) Head Problem Child (165g). Currently retails online for ~ $190 -- willing to sell for $140 including shipping. Can post pics if needed, but it still has the frame cover etc. Played with another one for about 8 months and it hits great - just planning to try out this year's models.
If anyone's in San Diego, the transfer should be even easier (and cheaper). Reply via pm if interested. Thanks.

Video (HD again) clips of several games taken from a slightly different POV. Some people on the forum might recognize the setting -- this is at Sorrento Valley Racquetball in San Diego, a private club that's been around since the 70s. Standard "old school" court type -- concrete side walls and a viewing area at the top of the back wall. Not a member there myself, but they have weekly round-robins that I try and attend couple times a month. Chris Crowther also plays there on a regular basis as does Mike Orr I think. First time taking any video at this court and yep, would have been ideal without the glare off the glass wall -- not sure how to get around that given the time of day and this viewing angle. FYI, the camera was placed at the same location as the person on the extreme left of the photo on the top of the SVR rball page.

Been a while so thought I'd post another video, this time shot with the Flip MinoHD camera I just got -- very happy with the quality and form-factor given the relatively low price. The only caveat is the 60min recording limitation. But if you you have a laptop handy, you can easily transfer over the videos and charge it via USB at the same time. It's not meant to be a full featured video camera, but would definitely recommend it for anyone who only needs to shoot HD videos occasionally.
Instead of youtube, google video etc, I would also suggest using Vimeo for posting any HD material. The streaming quality is far superior and you can even download the 720p source files if you create a (free) user account. From what I've seen, even Vimeo's streaming seems to have a lower framerate / picture quality than when playing the source file on a PC.
--> http://vimeo.com/2329293 <-- (HD mode should be ON, and full screen obviously preferable - accessed via the 'X' on the bottom right of the video)
With regards to the video itself, I'm the guy in the Head gear :)
