Hi all, Just wanted a quick comparison between these three rackets. I own the Astrox 77. I like rackets with a bit of head weight (like the Ax77) and play mostly attacking singles. Just need key differences between them Thanks.
Both Windlite rackets are 5u, which means that they will be considerably lighter than your AX77. Both are also way more flexible in comparison... The AX77 is more head heavy than the 700, the 800 is rather balanced
I have tried the 700 for a few minutes, but can you compare the 800,700 and 77 in terms of power, maneuverability, control and feel? Thanks a lot in advance.
Haven't tried the 700 or 800 but they seem to be close to the Windstorm series. The fact that the racket is significantly lighter means that it will produce less power than a 4u AX77 (if your Astrox 77 is 3 it will be even less). Clear win for the Astrox, than the WL700 and last WL800. Control usually benefits from a little more head weight and stiffness, so another clear win for the Astrox 77. Should be similar for both Windlites. Maneuverability will be way better on the Windlites since they are way lighter... Feel is a personal thing, but if you like the feel of the Astrox, the Windlites will probably feel somewhat hollow or not too responsive... Imo, buying another AX77 or looking at something within the 3D calibar or Aeronaut series would make more sense than buying a Windlite which is completely different when compared to your AX77
Thanks so much man. I already had decided to stick with the Ax77 4u, now you have confirmed my choice over it. 77 is still a great racket used by chenyufei, an see young etc. Thanks for you reply
