Length x width of the frame seems fat. Length x width wise it looks like a little like the Glanz. The cross section looks rather thin, which looks good. I liked the smaller frame designs, ZF II and the jetspeed 10 both have excellent swing speeds.
Meanwhile, classic economics comes into play,with the publicity given to the Duora resulting in Apacs Blend going out of stock on sportshorizon
What's the madness? LCW is 32 with 8months out while Chen is 26 with full match fitness? It was no surprise that CL outpaced LCW in terms of movement speed. Even if their speeds match up with each other, CL has at least 15-17cm of height above LCW for reaches.

I happened to see some images of Duora 10 racket shaft revealing some information - It said even balance racquet and Super slim shaft. So it don't come with the extra slim Shaft as the VTZF2 and since it is even balanced it might be probably the replacement of the Arcsarber series. PS: Unfortunately i couldn't get hold of the images, when i checked today the admin removed those images and post.
I was gonna say, if you spin your racket as a habit like that of tennis players, you gotta make sure you get the correct siding. I wonder if they will make strings and and a new stringing technique that will allow you a particular string on a certain side.
Badminton rackets generally do have a specific side anyways. One bevel is slightly wider than the other ones, so idk what the drama is about all of this.
wut? And anyway, minuscule bevel asymmetry on the grip makes no difference to the shot, whereas asymmetric frame profile probably does.
In terms of aerodynamics, iirc you already mentioned before that both sides may likely behave the same. And in terms of shot feel/power etc, the stringbed is strung exactly in the middle between these two sides/profiles, so there also won't be a difference there between the sides.
I didn't say it made a difference on the shots, just said there were specific sides to it. I usually hold the racket where the longer bevel is on my thumb side.
coming from an ex-table tennis player myself. This concept is very similar to Table tennis. though the effect is obviously much less since its only the frame that feels different, the string bed is the same. Where as in table tennis, the "String bed" area is totally different from one side to another (for backhand and forehand). So getting used to it (holding the right side) is really nothing. But whether it makes a big difference enough to your shot that you can feel the benefit is another question. Though for pros, if it can help 2% to their shots, they would happily use it. For the rest of us, probably doesnt matter which side lolz.
For non-pros like most of us, survival of the racket is no.1 priority, then winning the game or maybe not to injure ourself. There is really no point in winning gloriously but with broken racket during the process.
I don't see how this is related. All rackets nowadays have no durability issues unless they are defective. All rackets have a chance to die when clashed, this should never be a criteria when you want to buy a high end racket. If it's a concern, buy a steel racket. And before everyone points at the Flashboost, I've had mine since it released and it's still A1. Not to say it's not fragile, but if you're careful it shouldn't break. Super light rackets should never be expected to survive clashes.
What tension are you using? I've broken two just by hitting the shuttle when I've been using the FB...
