I’ll discuss Yonex as a complete (been shopping for them for over 12 years) after which discuss these racquets.
My first racquet was an armortec 150. Performed with it perhaps 2 hrs per week whereas I used to be studying and being a newbie to low intermediate participant.
The strings (bg65ti) lasted perpetually. The body bought a crack at 12-o clock earlier than its’ second restring lol. So I sadly threw it away.
Subsequent racquet was Voltric 80. I did not discover the body was misshapen till I in contrast the profile with one other individuals racquet at a pleasant lunchtime match factor. It was no surprise my backhands weren’t constant. I nonetheless have it someplace and the strings aren’t sq.. They’re a bit diagonal due to the body.
I used to be satisfied I wanted a head gentle and massive deal with racquet. So I sourced a G3 dimension Nanospeed 9900. High quality of the body is sweet. Numerous clashes as I used to be low to mid intermediate on the time.
Subsequent racquet was a Zforce 1. It was okay, however I struggled with it and wasn’t ok for it and finally gave it to a pal. Sturdiness was good.
Subsequent racquets had been two nanorays. Cannot bear in mind the numbers, however they had been a pair much like Astrox 88S, 88D. No sturdiness points with them and once more, ended up promoting to buddies as a result of I did not like them.
After that I had some Nanoray 800s. 3Ug4 I believe. Used for a very long time, however hated that my smashes had been weak. I used to be all the time looking out for a racquet with a greater smash.
Subsequent racquet was the Astrox 100zz. Beloved it at first. The distinction in protection is noticable and it harm my shoulder taking part in with it for lengthy intervals of time. No sturdiness points
Subsequent racquet was Nanoflare 800lt (5ug5). Nice Racquet, nevertheless it hurts my elbow to play with it. No sturdiness points in any respect.
Then I purchased a Nanoray iSpeed racquet to see if I might get higher smashing with it and never harm my shoulder or elbow (NF800lt could be very stiff).
Hated it lol. Sturdiness is ok.
Then I purchased an astrox nextage (4u g5 I believe) and it was my favorite racquet for some months. Sturdiness and value efficiency are each excellent. Have to regulate swing velocity as a result of it is mid flex and never stiff.
Additionally purchased an astrox cosmic reign. Nothing particular, however feels low-cost if you hit the shuttle. If it had collisions, I do not suppose it will come out ontop.
Nanoflare 1000z. It’s extremely hit or miss by way of sturdiness. It feels stable when taking part in, however conflict quantity 8-10 has brought about a extremely small crack to look within the racquet on the surface of the body main into one of many grommits. (across the 10 o clock place). And I solely had it 4-5 weeks on the time! It survived one restring to this point and I hope it survives extra as I’ve put BG66U string in it at 26bs pressure.
I’ve by no means checked out Victor racquets because the names confuse me and inventory is tough to search out. However the Bravesword has a number of followers right here.
