You mentioned something that was key for me in this video. The fact that you keep and use easier rackets for when you feel "off". I never even considered this to be an option. I do keep my easier rackets with me but I only keep them for if my main racket breaks. I have the Nanoflare 1000z and the racket is beautiful to use but it is very stiff and by the end of my usual 2 hour sessions if I have played against some particularly troublesome doubles team then I am quite tired and am not able to generate the racket speed to get the best out of it. It was more of a perfectionist thing for me that I HAVE TO USE MY BEST RACKET ALL THE TIME, but seriously this was refreshing. Thank you for sharing that. I'm definitely going to take this into consideration and give myself a break for those matches at the end of the sessions. Liked and subscribed.

@@gamelife5449 I’m so sorry but I only buy pro models, I’m also not a fan of the 99 since it’s way too heavy for me. By the way the most powerful smashes ever recorded are from head light or even balanced racquets. It’s a combination of your body’s ability to whip and the head weight balance. I’m not saying u shouldn’t go with the 99 but just don’t rule out a lighter racquet as being less powerful. U may be surprised.

Thank you so much for your comment! I really appreciate it! As for the price, if you are able to afford it still, I would suggest you to get it. The 77 pro is just such an amazing racquet to have in your bag. One of the best all rounders ever made. And, high end Yonex racquets always retain value; no guarantees and not all of them, but that is my experience. For example, I just KNOW the 100zz will be worth just as much 10 years from now. I am going to Japan soon and if I see a 77 pro or 100zz I will be buying another one. However, I was there a year ago and every shop was sold out.

I also have the 100zz. The thing is, people tends to exaggerates by calls 100ZZs the hardest racket to use. I bought this with its "hardest racket to use" in mind, i imagine it will feels sluggish like astrox 99 pro with more stiffer shaft. but when i dry swing it, it really changed my mind. This racket feels like butter, the balance point were just perfect, i got 298mm when i got it strung and overgripped. The stiffness of the shaft feels like arcsaber 11 pro. You'll feel the extra stiffness when you swing it, i think that happens because 100zz has shortest shaft and longest handle compared to other high end Yonex, so when you swing it, it feels like you swing a handle. I got quiet strong hand, and i usually play with racket that head heavier and with more or less, same stiffnes with this. I play with this for the first time and i instantly fall in love with it. Very manouverable and solid hit feeling that i can't get with another high end Yonex rackets. It got me thinking "what is so hard about this racket?", so i continued to play for 2 sets and i feel pain on my shoulder 😂😂 thats the time i agreed with other players review that says "this is the racket that you play when you're have energy" or "not beginner friendly". 100zz is not a hardest racket to use, but its a very demanding racket. You just have to get your body to use to it. Its not a wild beast like Voltric Z Force, but to use it, you still have to train your hands to bear with its stiffness. Otherwise you'll get injured shoulder. Nice review, by the way 😊

Hello Mr Chan. Thanks for the information. I'm an intermediate level player. I mainly focus on attacking gameplay. I've been playing with LiNing Windlite Stealth racquet and i want to up my smash skills. I got to know that Astrox 100zz is the best racquet there is. But you've mentioned that unless one is really good at their game, they are not going to get much out of that. And since I'm not a pro/too advanced player, can you tell me whether this racquet can be useful or not to upskill my game? If yes, can you also suggest the string and tension for good smashes? Thank you very much in advance
@chanlok Ай бұрын
@@sujithnavabothu802 upskilling does not depend on the racquet it depends on you, your footwork, your technique, etc. however I do think 100zz is the best highest potential racquet there is and even if you’re not there yet you can grow into it eventually.
