4 intermediate, even balanced, Yonex badminton racket comparison

[@iskandarwee4775]

Hi, I restarted playing badminton after nearly 30 years. I have these rackets: 88 Play Gen3, 77 Pro, Nanoflare 1000 Tour, and 11 Play. The 77 Pro is the best, but I mostly play with the 11 Play to avoid clashing damage😂. The Nanoflare, as you said, requires good technique, not for me.

Please review the Babolat Shadow Tour 5 shoe next Aske. Babolat is huge in tennis and pickleball but not as much in badminton so I think it would be interesting to see whether if their badminton shoe or equipment is as good as other brands. Besides, there isn't any good reviews about them either.

I play with Arcsaber 7 series, Astrox 100 Game, & recently Nanoflare 1000 Play. Astrox 100 Game is the heaviest & get too tired during the session. Nanoflare 1000 Play produces more power than the Arcsaber 7. But I feel quicker using the Arcsaber 7. The Arcsaber 7 Play strung at 24 lbs feels wobbly, which means you can feel vibration when hitting the shuttlecock. Get the Tour or Pro!

so by conclusion, which is the best for smashes nanoflare 1000 game or the astrox 100 game

The astrox 100 game - if by 'best' you're referring to help with generating power

I just moved over to the arc7 tour from the 11 play. Found the 11 play too head heavy due to poor quality control. It had the same head weight as a 88d! Arc7 is perfect because you can concentrate on your technique while the racket does what is asked of it.

Hi, I had a doubt if you add the astrox 100 game to the list then what would be your preference??

[@TheHi-T]

I sometimes play with my Astrox 100 Game. I get too tired during the session. My smashes are powerful but fatigue is a concern. I prefer Arcsaber 7 series.

The astrox 100 game is very head heavy and full of power so doesn't directly compare with these (i.e. for doubles it isn't as easy to defend with as the even balanced rackets in this video)
