What is your power badminton racket? Yonex Astrox 100ZZ Review: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j8qmmpR-y9eRZGw.html Yonex Astrox 99 Pro Review: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/idB3Y86d3bLXhn0.html Yonex Astrox 88D Pro Review: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fbKUf9h5xsyyaZs.html

Rarely commented in a youtube channel but this is what I’ve been waiting for. Been a fans of VTFZ2 and had the red and yellow lindan version. Perhaps will consider to try others after watching this vid. Good summary, thorough and provide so much reference.

I just bought 100zz...hearing a postive review makes me feel more happy.😃

100ZZ is a nice all rounded racket. i feel like the 88D pro is similar but different. my opinions on the 88D pro is that its very quick but solid feel power. the 100ZZ is quicker in my opinion and has this whip power but it still feels solid. you get plently of power from 100ZZ yet consistent

Great review, CK. I've always enjoy watching your channel and I recently bought an Astrox 100ZZ after watching this clip. I do not know much about others current Yonex rackets to compare with as my last racket that I used 35 years ago was Carbonex 8. Well here I'm playing badminton again at my semi-retirement age. I must say Astrox 100ZZ is simply awesome!!!

keep the rakcets aside.. I'm just shocked by him, replying everyones comment! really bruhh!! thats awesome...🤯

Great video as I often question myself about these racquets' power performance and playability. However I'm surprised to see 99 pro not being on top of raw power category, looks like it's a complete different racquet compared to the previous 99.

Awesome video, but I’ve found 100zz 4U lacking in smashing power. It works with bg80 power, but not with bg80, which is a much better overall string imo. I therefore sold my 100zz and currently use the OG 88d which is amazing with bg80 :)

I’m very happy to have My ASTROX 100ZZ. It’s the best of all. I’m using a 4U model to play my singles and doubles game 💪. It is good with the nanogy99 at 26lbs, I just had the fastest smash of all time.

amazing review! I am a fan of Power Racket, happened to own AT 700 and AT900P when i was a kid, and ZF2 back in 2018. Switched to 99 pro and 100zz this year and your review is spot on! AT series got these "legacy smash power", and ZF2 is kind of like "wildlife smash". 4u 100zz is now fit for my playstyle and i play both singles and doubles with it!

99 pro is the only consistent racket at same 3rd spot in all sections. That’s some achievement 😊

After doing some research and swing test on the store, i choose 100zz. The option is 88d pro, 99 pro, Arc saber 11. First game with 100 zz with nanogy 98 on 28 lbs i felt lacking of power but i got a superb of control. Only needed 1 day i cut off this string and replaced with aerobite with 26lbs tension+10%. Result? I got a superb control with a lot of power. Honestly, this racket need time to get good feeling with this swing speed like a even balance racket but this is a head heavy racket!. After 4 hours using this racket, i’ve 3 words to describe, I love it!

And he comes again with astute judgement and quality content !

Really wished video.Loving all your uploads Looking forward to see more ✨

Happy new year!! A very solid review to start off the year. Currently have the 100ZZ n 99pro. Somehow I managed to make the 99pro a little too soft by using nanogy 98. Love my 100zz to bits, with BG80 power. For sure both rackets are tiring at some point but 99pro, I guess we all need to do proper weights workout to be able to use it properly for a longer duration 🤣

Great video! I am currently trying to choose between the 88D pro 4U and the Astrox 77 in shine red! Really hard choice to make!

I've been playing with the Ax99pro 4UG5 for about 2 months now, strung with bg80 power at 28lbs..playing doubles, what a power combination i found in my smashing. Just give it a few times to get used to manoeuvre it. Great video btw. 👍🏻👍🏻

Hi, love the comparison Is the 100zz more user friendly than the 88d pro? Also any specialty of 100zz or 88d pro I'm coming from an astrox 77, so yeah, want more power and versatility

Honestly, I use the voltric zf2 and I respect your opinion (Edit) I also use the astrox 99 (not pro) and I actually got it in the 3U version. For my case, the feeling of the astrox 99 to me feels good. And it is also the older racket that I own. I’ve been using the astrox 99 for 2 years and I bought the zf2 A month ago.

Been using 100zz 3u with bg66u tension 28 for 6 months now. And since then so many people compliment my smash to be so powerful and many of them want to practice their defense with me. So I agree with this review saying that it was the ultimate best power racket from yonex at the moment.

Good one bro… this and all your videos are very insightful.. keep up the good work..

4 racket reviews in one. The viewers are lucky

Cant wait to watch arcsaber 11 pro reviews

Awesome... awaiting a speed racket review now? Nanoflares? 88s pro? Victor Auraspeed?

Once again your video answering my questions. Thanks again CK! 😂

For the li-ning equivalent I'd probably pick the 3D calibar 900c. Packs a lot of power while still having a decent feeling and handling.

I have all these rackets. Each racket is different, referring to your categories. My experience with these rackets is that ZF2 only offers power games and is very unforgiving in all other aspects. Astrox 99 Pro is a new experiment for Yonex and has a significant grooves problem. Astrox 100ZZ is decent though the structure becomes fragile when strung at a higher tension and a bit deficiency in power. Astrox 88 D pro is for overall games in doubles and offers more to frontcourt players. Please make a video on Lining or Victor rackets if you find anything interesting to brag about it.

I have the 100ZZ. Can confirm that the wicked colour scheme increases the power of my smash.

I happen to own all four of these rackets and the review is spot on! Been using the zforce2 from 2015 to 2020 and switched to astrox rackets. The astroxs are very powerful yet a lot nimble than the zforce.

Let's goooo. Already set on the 99pro Cherry Sunburst 4u though. I prefer the slightly whippier yet solid hit of the 99 pro without being too stiff.

I use 100zz 4U with aerobite boost strings. Love this racket!! powerful n excellent maneuverability once u get used to it

Hi CK, I am an American fan of your reviews. I am a 17 year old playing at an advance level, and I was wondering which racket to get next: The Astrox 100 ZZ, or Astrox 99 Pro. I am about 5 foot 9, so not too short or tall. I was deciding between these two rackets because I would like to have a Shi Yu Qi-like playstyle. My playstyle is quite similar to his, with a fast-paced mildly aggressive playstyle utilizing many half smashes and decent net play to put pressure. Thanks, keep up the videos!

I have bought the 100ZZ 4U and do love playing with it, but i'm now contemplating whether to buy the 3U model for Singles matches (to get the extra power). What will I gain by switching to the 3U and what will I lose when compared to the 4U version? Also thank you @CK Yew for the amazing videos.

Still saving for astrox 88d pro

Hi ck , are u able to do a review of duora 10 as well? Thanks! Btw,I love ur content so much as it's interesting and I get to know more of the specs of the racket

lets just thank how he Puts him mind and heart on creating Badminton tutorials and Racket reviwes for us❤❤❤

Been playing doubles with the 99pro 3UG6 for about 2 weeks(daily), after getting used to it I really like the power and solidity it offers 😁

This is the comparison i needed thank you CK!

Loved this comparison can you please do a review of Duora z strike and happy new year keep up the grind🔥

The arcsaber 11 pro just got announced and I'm very excited to your review about it

Love your videos ❤️

Please do a power racket comparison to the other two big brands

After Z-Force 2, 100ZZ, Voltric 5, I'm now using Nanoflare 800LT, a lightweight/head-light as my main. With Exbolt63 26lbs I can smash with it better than a 100ZZ with BG80 27lbs.

Would be great if you could test these with a speed gun to see what the actual raw power/speeds are

Thanks, bro! I purchased 100zz

How would the Astrox 77 fare against these 4 racquets? Would be interested in seeing the comparison between these.

Had you use the 4UG5 Z FORCE II, WOULD WIN ALL CATEGORISE. The problem with it was that the quality of production dropped in latter years. I had 2 of this racket with SP numbers where the top 6 grommets collapsed with 28ibs tension, and when I cut it in half, I found that a layer of graphite was missing on the top of the head. I kind of wonder if Yonex deliberately was doing this to phase it out!

100zz + bg80 power is the best of the best feeling i have ever played with. drive shot couldnt have felt better

amazing video!

good nigh!you created nice recording! fellow~

Great! Will buy either a 88D Game or 100 Game next! The Play version is significantly cheaper though.

Just got myself 2 3UG5 100ZZs (transitioning from Voltric 70). Was pleasantly surprised with how quick and nimble the racquet is during defence and counter attacks. However I found the effective power lacking. (compared to the voltric 70) It is strung currently strung at 26lbs. Perhaps I need to decrease the tension to help offset the stiffness of the racquet.

Interesting review CK, I only have the Astrox ZZ100 and 88D Pro, both 4U (although I have played briefly with a friend's ZF2 which I found to be way too stiff and head heavy for me, it was like trying to play with a plank of wood). I agree that the 100ZZ has more effective power than the 88D Pro but I also find that the 100ZZ has marginally better handling, it's just such a sweet racket to use. In the flat game, I find the 100ZZ's shorter shaft makes it slightly nimbler and quicker than the 88D Pro. The 100ZZ also has a really nice feel to the racket head when hitting shots and edges out the 88D Pro for me. I also have the 88S Pro and I can actually generate more effective power with the 88S Pro than the 88D Pro because it's lighter and quicker which means I can get into position more easily to execute a smash and the lighter head and whippier shaft (at least that's how it feels) allows for greater racket head speed and more effective power most of the time. It just goes to show there's more than one way to skin a cat, case in point, Wang Chi Ling generates tremendous power with his smashes with a Nanoflare 700.

Dang 4 years too late 😅 When I was a beginner, I bought the Z force II thinking this thing is awesome and the sales told me it’s a great racket. I couldn’t do much with it.

Hi, is the power and solidity difference between the 100zz and the 88d pro very huge or is it small. I know that the 88dp will be faster than the 100zz, so yeah, just wanted to know.

Hi there CK! love your video!! and I can say for myself that the 100zz is one of my best purchase in 2021!! It really got me around 1-2 months to get used to it.. and my my my.. it's really as what you said.. the shuttle really listens to you or how like my friend would described it.. it's an extension of my arm.. However recently I am having little doubts as I am prone to pull a muscle of two on my arm whenever I smashed too much or in some worse cases, miss-hit a smash... which brings me to my question. Do you think i should scale down a bit to 88pro? or maybe the 77? I play because I love the game.. not to compete and win tournaments.. So would it be even better for me if I switch to the nanoflare 700 for a more enjoyable overall experience? thanks : )

Do you think 100zz good for intermediate player? Because some people said 100zz is hard to use. They said it has small sweet spot.. you have to hit precisely on sweet spot

CK, can you do another one of this, 100zz vs 88D 2024 vs ryuga 2 vs. Lining axforce100 It would be awesome to see the result

Nice video bro!! Happy New Year 2020!! 😊 Try Li-Ning AXFORCE 80 with BG 80 Power String @ 28 - 30 Lbs!!!

100 zz needs bunch of time to adjust. Once u feel it, the beast is unleashed

why did I get more confused after watching this ?

Thanks to this video, I decided to switch to 100zz from 99 pro and can say that 100zz is much easier to play compare to the sledge hammer 99 pro, feel nice to generate power through smashes.

End of this video can you tell me what is that music ?? I really liked it

I played with all of them and all of them are fabulous...

Great comparison! I wish to find a replacement/spare for my OG 88D, sadly they’re discontinued. Tested the 88D Pro but sadly they don’t produce as much power as the OG due to the lighter head balance. Do you think 100ZZ will be a good replacement? My OG 88D is 4U btw. Thank you in advance! 🙏🏼

Was it 3U or 4U you used for the 100ZZ? I've got both and find them totally different animals, and not just a weight thing. I wish there was something in between the two and finding myself preferring the Duora Z-Strike more at the moment (for feathers anyway) maybe I just haven't adjusted to head heavy rackets (usually even or light head I've played with).

At this moment I am using 77pro.... And I loved it.... I want to upgrade my smash power.... But I don't want to lose a lot at defense and front court play.... Which one more suitable for me according to your opinion? 100zz or 88d pro? 😊

Which racket would be better for a back court doubles intermediate player, the Astrox 88d pro or the astrox 100zz 4u? Thanks Tim ☺️

Amazing review. Can you add lining aeronaut 9000c and also lining axforce80. Just wondering abt those two

Astrox 100ZZ, my best purchase of 2021😭

Your review is very clear and easy to understand. Can you help me for Tour series? 99, 100, and 88D tour which is quickest, user friendlies, better feel, and more powerfull. Is the order same as Pro series? can you make an order for the tour series. It will be very helpful since i only have a budget for tour series 🙏

Having no chance to play with 100zz as it is out of stock everywhere in the US (to my knowledge). Otherwise I would really want to try it. Luckily, I found out 99 pro is still very good for me

Yonex just annouced a revamp for the arcsaber line for february this year!!! Arcsaber 11 pro,tour, and play

For me, Duora Z Strike still the best even no improve from this racket in a few years

im currently using the 4u 100zz and im toying with the idea with something more forgiving and a bit more flex... would you say the 88d pro 4u would be a good choice? also, maybe u can do a video about the effects of using a smaller grip like g6 over the regular g4 and g5?

at first i thought asx 100 zz had a lot of gimmicks to justify the pricing but after using it myself, gotta say its kinda justified. its supposed to be a head heavy racket yet there is something about it that can be played like a headlight racket (maybe due to the skinny shaft?) the only catch about it is it can be unforgiving when the shuttle contact is mistimed or mis-hit away from the sweet spot

Mate, which is the best power racket we have available in the market? also can you please explain, which string and tension to be used to get the ultimate power?

the only concern i have with 100zz is the shaft is extra stiff and i'm not sure it won't give me pressure on my wrist

Hi, can u review yonex even balance racket ? Especially Duora series. I'm searching for even balance racket and i found that in yonex series they have the arcsaber and duora. Before buy it, i want to see a review from you because i really like the way you review about racket series. Thanks

Please consider rackets from other brands too. Would love to know how Li Ning 3D calibar combat would fare. Thank you.😁

Hi CK, nice review, i like it bro. Anw i think i'm an intermediate player. I'm not good in terms of technique but not that bad too. So which one should i choose for the racket? Tia!

Great review , is this comparison true on game versions of these racket as well ? Which is your pick in 100 Game vs 88D Game vs 99 Game . I am getting these around same price around 5500 Ruppes in india.

Can you please tell which is best for singles I have been using 99 pro I want to switch can I know please know which would you prefer?

Played with 100zz , zforce2 and astrox 99pro. And I ended up with astrox 99pro. Astrox 100zz and zforce 2 is too stiff and if shuttle passes you , you gonna end up hitting a stupid shot… you gotta be super fit and accurate to use astrox100 and zforce2. And still it’s gonna give you some shoulder pains. For me astrox99 pro with aerobite is just so smooth in overall.

Hi CK Yew hope your doing good, would it be possible for you to make a review of Duora Z Strike ? though its an older generation racket but seems that there are still alot of people using it. Can you make a new review of it for 2024 since there are so many good rackets now with new technologies. That would help us all !! thanks, wish you all the best !

Astrox 99 pro, 88 d white red and astrox 99 orange here ☝️

Please do a similar review for tour modles of the astrox series

Hi CK I love your videos. I just got back into badminton after I stopped playing for many years. I’m using a 2U MusclePower 100 that I bought 20+ years ago. I used to trained daily and play tournaments with this racque so I’m very used to it. Now I’m older and not as active. The 2U MP100 is killing my shoulder lol. I want to upgrade my racquet but I have no idea which one is a proper upgrade to the MP100. I’m play mostly singles. I don’t know if there is one with similar characteristics but lighter in weight. Hoping you could give me some recommendations.

Hi CK, Fantastic review. I’ve had the Voltric Lin Dan Force. Love the racquet. I’m looking for a similar alternative just in case it breaks. Any recommendation please. Thank you, JB

I have the 100ZZ 3U kurenai with exbolt at 29lbs 😅 after 8 games it snapped. Took me weeks to get used to it. But this is a beast! Very stiff and head heavy. Waiting for my Nanoflare 800LT. 😊

Awesome video! 👌🏻 Can you please make a review on Lining Axforce 90 max (both dragon 🐲 and tigers 🐯).

Mate, can you please tell, what are the best head heavy rackets available in 2024 with a flexible shaft?

88d pro my all-time favorite 😆

Have(had) a Victor 90K, I think it maybe similar as 88D pro, but only after a month of use, it broke itself without any force. But your video just convince me to buy a 88D pro :D

A quick question, what string would you suggest for the 100zz for someone who likes the sounds and speediness of the shot?

which string are you recommend for 100 zz ? nanogy 98 or BG 80 power ?

Hi there, i am currently using NF800, aside from full court clearing I am enjoying the racket. I am thinking of getting another racket, i was wondering if 100zz head heaviness would help with clearing.

Do You have any recommendations string for Astrox 100zz? I'm about to replace my Zforce2 with this. I've tried the ArcSaberPRo11 with nanogy 98, the control and defense were amazing but its lacking of power. thank you

CK, are you gonna swap from the 88d pro to the arc11 pro?
