Your reviews are really helpful. Just wanted your suggestion on one thing...Between AX88s and JS10. I am more of a front court player. I was planning on getting AX88s. Then I came across another review of JS10 and kinda got hooked to the idea. Please suggest. Thanks in advance!

[@badmintonracketreview2814]

Thanks for you comments. I would say you will get more satisfaction from the JS10, the AX88s are hard work for most players.

[@Kevinpietersen24]

The 88S is said head heavy, does it really head heavy like the 88D?? The accuracy of the smashes compared with 88D??(1-10) Mostly KZbinr said 88S is quick for moving the racket and defense.. "Defense"??? What's your pick?? Best?? 88S or 88D?? Irrespective of your postioning in the court..

[@badmintonracketreview2814]

I would say the S is more user friendly, it feels quicker in the air too. Smash accuracy we haven't really tested but i would imagine the S would be better in this area too. However, for overall power the D probably contains the most potential, however, not many players will have the necessary technique or arm speed to release the potential of the D. The S is head heavy, actually all Astrox rackets are, but the D is more head heavy than the S.

[@Kevinpietersen24]

@@badmintonracketreview2814Very sincerely thankful from India/Chennai.. I'll buy 88S which will be more suitable for my style.. But if you can Relate Nanoray Z speed with the 88S both are good for attacking and moving well through the air.. Any keys as in 88S is released with good technical terms or still prefer Zspeed..

[@GeographicalWatermelon]

Hi Team, I've been using Armortec 300 since 10 yrs now, at intermediate level (defensive/ bit of an offensive play style) with nylon birds (Mavis 350), play doubles and singles. Would like a suggestion for a racket, I was considering AX 77, 88S or 99 (4U) for an upgrade. Also, can 88S deliver back court game effectively? or should I look at Arcsaber series such as AS 7?? Appreciate any input and thanking you in anticipation.

[@badmintonracketreview2814]

As i have said on the Video's the Astrox rackets are very stiff and so unless you have a very strong and quick arm you will most likely not benefit from the performance - if you were to choose an Astrox i would go with the 77 4u. Overall i would recommend attending a demo day if possible or borrow a friends before committing to buy. You should visit our "E-zone" and see racket performances, Im sure it will help you in making your decision.

[@GeographicalWatermelon]

@@badmintonracketreview2814 Thank you!! :)

[@karukaru1011]

I am an intermediate player, still in a dilemma to go for a 88S, I use BS12 and Lining Windstorm 700 and feel that there is not enough power in my smash, but I am more of a front court player and sometimes play back court. Is there a good racket you can suggest for power and maneuver?

Interesting selection of rackets, probably the Windstorm from those, otherwise Abroz Venom or Jnice Black Panther

Hi there, ive been using my zf2 for quite a while now. I can use it and play doubles with it however i still have a hard time hitting the sweet spot all the time. Would you recommand the 88d for me then? Is the 88d more powerful than the zf2? Thanks!

[@badmintonracketreview2814]

I don't think it is, perhaps if you were able to generate real quick hand speed the Astrox 88D might be a little more powerful than the Zf2, on the whole the Zf2 is the easier racket to use particularly the 4u version. The Astrox 88d 4u is easier to handle than the 3u.

[@FlameZenon]

Badminton Racket Review i see. Well i have a big strong hands and used to body build. So i have a larger arm than the average individual so i swing fairly strong and im an intermediette player been playing for 3 years continiously. Its just that i cant hit the sweet spot 100% at a time. Does the 88d have a larger sweet spot/bigger frame?

[@noahzheng8361]

I just bought an astrox 69 and have used a 99 a fine amount, both are pretty similar, but it feels as though theres a slight increase in flexibility, maybe just me but that's what it felt, the balance is the same damn thing and the build feels solid, really worth the buy I got it for around 75 usd

I dont know, many people tell me the racket specs of the international players are totally different from the ones available in shops or that we buy - but i can't verify that? I know the Professional's did used to use 3u rackets, but times are changing and more and more are seeing benefits in lighter rackets.

Sir can we use this 88s for singles Does it make sense.

Yes, but there are so many other options that are simply better and cheaper. The Astrox 66 or Nanoflare 270 much better.

As we all know that this is a doubles racket and usually is a more flexible just because it is meant for doubles. Why does yonex made it as a stiff racket? Any thoughts?

[@badmintonracketreview2814]

Well stiff rackets do offer good control, but these are too stiff for most players. They should make one type for professionals and another for the rest

[@ThangHuynh10]

Nathan you are saying the opposite. Double would need stiff racket for the instantaneous transfer of power due to the fast pace.... and most male professional players who have lots of power and good technique would prefer stiff racket regardless of double or single.

[@Vicky-gt5xk]

What is the difference b/w HK code & AS code..??

[@badmintonracketreview2814]

They represent where the racket is being sold, the idea is to test rackets with different countries codes and see what the specification difference is like.

[@Edsternoble6]

The coding is not where the racquet is made. It represents the market designation (asia/hongkong/japan etc). High end Yonex racquets have 'Japan' printed on the cap (meaning racquet is manufactured in Japan), whereas cheaper Yonex racquets are usually made in either China or Taiwan and usually has either 'China' or 'Taiwan' printed very finely on the shaft.

[@sulai5823]

They said in chart 88D is more stiff than 88s...but in urs u said 88s very stiff ?

[@badmintonracketreview2814]

Hi, we tested 3 88D's and 3 88's all of them with the exception of one had very similar stiffness readings, which is definitely very stiff. The problem in comparing the stiffness with other sources is, our test isolates just the shaft for stiffness, quite a lot of manufacturers measure the stiffness from the top of the racket head to the bottom of the handle, so its like doing two different tests, which will naturally produce two different results.

[@madz4908]

at what letter does the racket balance point? by letter i mean the "ASTROX 88D" written in the shaft

[@badmintonracketreview2814]

Not sure now, as we only take a pic of the handle and measurement.

Sir can you tell me that is Astrox 88s is enjoyable to use in singles Does it have enough power to fire smashes I didn't prefer Dominate than skill But I think skill is better is fast responses Can you tell me Can we use 88S for singles?

[@mobsterpenguin6032]

pradhikshan R You can use the 88s for singles. I use the 3U version for singles (4u is too light for this racket). This racket is amazing in the front court, especially with net play and drives. Even though this racket is advertised for front court play, it actually does really well in the back as well. The smashes are quite fast, clears are fairly effortless, and the drops are precise. I don't have the 88D and im curious about your thoughts on the racket. Was it too heavy? Did your arm get tired from swinging?

[@Scienceworld_RP]

Thanks a lot for your comment bro. That means you are currently using astrox88s it really does in singles. But can it help to some more attacking play? I less prefer 88d because it is a little bit less speed in defense

[@mobsterpenguin6032]

pradhikshan R Yes this racket is amazing for an agressive attacking style. Its speed is incredible in the front court area. Defense is really good for a slightly head heavy racket, probably cuz of the Rotational Generator System. The smash speed is fast but you might need to put some effort depending on your technique. The 88s is predominately for the front court or skill type player, but you can use it for anything. However, I feel that this is aimed for more advanced players, so make sure your technique is refined and you will get the maximum potential from this racket.

There are many better rackets than this available, however, if you really like it then i would say try the 4u. The slightly lesser frame weight compared to 3u means getting better air speed which will help with all shots but wont affect power much.
