Yonex ASTROX 77 (2017)

How about 'S' is for Single and 'D' is for Doubles but the description would be opposite then.

 

AX88S - Skill: for front court players
AX88D - Dominate: for back court players

So AX 77 actually sits in between the S and D, which actually making it even more interesting.
I'm looking for one with both its HH and stiffness level sits in between arcsaber 11 and ZF2, anyone think AX77 a good choice?

 

No. Better off waiting for the AX88D instead.

Thanks for your advice.
The arcsaber11 just keeps giving me some "soft" feeling, although on paper it should be a stiff racket. And not to mention the lack of smashing power.
ZF2 is definitely powerful, but it's too HH for me after long playing time.
One that sits in between would be great!

 

Have you ever tried the VT80? Or the 80ETN? LDF sounds like a good fit in between too.

You mean VT80 is less HH than the ZF2? Some told me VT80 is even harder to swing than the ZF2.
LDF is not bad, I did try it before.
Also wondering if i string acrsaber11 with hard string such as BG80, will it give me a "harder" feel. I usually string BG66UM at 26 lbs

 

You could try the VT80ETN without any of the parts. Rip them all off and replace with regular grommets. As I understand it from a good friend. It's actually rather pleasant to use in that fashion.

thanks for suggestion. hopefully got a chance to borrow a VT80ETN to try out.

 

Hope Yonex will surpass Victor Jetspeed 10 one day as the fastest racket speed .

 

Have you already tried a 4U VTZF2?

 

no, just a 3U zf2.

 

Ah, then you owe it yourself to try one first...

 

hopefully could find one to try

 

I think NS9900 is faster than JS10.

 

Dont feed the troll.

 

You sure Nanospeed 9900 is faster than Jetspeed 10 , any reliable internet webpage to verify.

Anyway this racket is no longer used by International players.

 

How HH the AX77 is when comparing to LDF, D10, VT80?
AX77 was rated medium flex, but from few reviews i read, it seems many found it behaved more towards stiff for anything other than back court smashing.

 

See if this helps...
