I had a different experience with the 100 and 99. I am using 100zz and you are right as when you are late to the shot, this racket makes you feel like you do not deserve it, but otherwise, it is a godsent especially when you are fit. I am built quite slim and I have never been considered physically strong (but I am more aggressive than others) so I passed the 99 when I was looking for a new racket. Plus the fact that i am not an experienced player. However, one day I got my hand on the 99and oh boi, that was outrageously satisfying. It felt like it belonged to me. It gave my smash what I would describe as a destructive and solid boost. Every position I would try even harder to smash and it nudged my confidence even more as those *bad chosen shots* came out so well, unexpected and with decent power. I am by no mean talented or good but I guess playing style and preferences play a huge role when experiencing such a demanding racket... Keeping my eyes on the 99 pro now. I could not stop thinking about it lol

Yes, Astrox 77 was the 1st launched in the series. There was a commercial. I remember clearly because my peers weren't keen on having to figure out which side to use on Duora 10 for forehand & backhand. Meaning they couldn't spin the racquet in their hands between points. So they all buy Astrox. 😏 Except me. Duora 10 was the 1st launched in the series. To my surprise, for doubles, the 7 is my favorite. I'm usually the strongest rear court player with the better defense skills.

For me100zz didn't feel that HH but was more towards balanced, maybe I am not professional enough to tell hahah, the one racket that I had no trouble telling if it was HH or not was the VZF2. I also felt that the 100zz had an insanely smooth swing, imo it felt easier to swing than the Arc 11 play, the swing of the Arc 11 for some reason felt heavier and less natural/slower. Currently looking to try the 99pro before deciding if I should get the 100zz or the 99pro.😄😄

I'm actually deciding between the 88D pro or the 100ZZ. Which would you say is the more all rounder racket for a rear court mixed doubles player? Playstyle would be aggressive and with emphasis on placement. Do you think the 3U would be far too heavy for doubles? For perspective, used the 99 and felt it was too sluggish, then the 88s which felt too weak in power and too fast for my taste.

Currently its strung at 27 cross and 25 mains with NBG 95 Cosmic gold I am an intermediate attacking singles player, Looking for a durable but good repulsive string with medium feel for the Astrox 77, you have any picks? Also what string tension do you recommend bcz I wanna maximise the sweetspot but not string it too low too. Also should I string the crosses higher than the mains? is there any benefits to it? or should I just string the mains and crosses the same tensions? Thanks a lot for your amazing videos!! Keep them coming!!!
@CKYew 3 жыл бұрын
NBG95 sounds like a good balance for what you wanted. However if you don't mind thinner strings potentially breaking, you could try BG-80, 66 Ultimax, Aerobite or even Aerobite Boost? 25 lbs mains and 27 lbs crosses should be a decent tension. Try playing around with it the next time you string, go up or down in tension to find your perfect balance.

I agree with ax100zz to be a little more flexible than 99. But I use the 99lcw version. I kinda like it because I feel like the racket is one with my body. Should I try selling off my 88d and get the 99 (orange or blue)? I believe they should be different right?

Sry for the late post but iv been eyeing on the astrox 100zz(blue version) for quite some time now and I'm coming from the astrox 77, duora 10 and arcsaber 11. I was wondering if it would be a good upgrade from those rackets since I play a mix of both doubles and singles. Also, is there any difference between the red version of it? Because it does have a slightly higher price compared to the original blue one. And I'm also slightly sceptical because it was released quite a while back and there are newer rackets such as the 88d pro. And there might be a new 'pro' version coming out. What do u think🤔? Apologies for the many questions:)

@@CKYew If you read some of the threads on Badminton Central, it's not an uncommon opinion. There seems to be quite a mixture of review comments out there with some saying the 100ZZ is head heavy and others that it feels more like an even balance racket. At the end of the day, whether it's head heavy or even balanced can be determined through a scientific measurement of its balance point which I have not done but it definitely feels less head heavy than the AX77 to me.

@@CKYew It's interesting, Badminton Guide (another youtube channel) did some measurements and they came up with different balance points for the two AX77 rackets that they measured (one yellow and one blue) and they also measured the 100ZZ with the 100ZZ measuring between the two AX77s (100ZZ 302 vs AX77 Blue 298 and AX77 Yellow 304). Coincidentally, my AX77 happens to be a yellow one. I guess there will be some variations as the manufacturing process isn't so exact that they can churn out rackets to the same exact specifications. The third video link below is from a store in Seattle, North West Badminton where they have been measuring the same spec rackets and coming up with slightly different readings, which seems to support this.
