    For you i think fortius 10 power is better than altius.
    F10Q and F10P is head heavy racket same specs like vt80/et and ax99.

    F10Q shaft is shoter and longer handgrip
    F10P longer shaft and shoter handgrip.

    Factory cond. Without string
    Quick 4U 84 gram bp 303
    Power 4U 84 gram bp 306
    This 2 heavier than 88D and ax99lcw.

    Last question. So far we have this info, where does DZS stand?

    Head heavy racket
    zf2 extra stiff
    falcon stiff
    Ax88D and ax99 stiff
    n9ii medium stiff

    Slightly head heavy racket
    Nf800 stiff+
    Falcon claw stiff+
    This 2 is much faster racket

    If falcon claw have 3U version, that is dzs
    Slightly head heavy with stiff+ shaft
    But dzs has smaller head size like nf800

    Used to have vt80et. Yes good racket to play with. The feel very special. My best set up was top grommet not installed but bottom grommets installed. Making it more stable less hh. What's your set up?

    I dont use any etune parts. It comes as it is.

    Re NF800, probably the same scenario with NR800. I dont like 3U NR800 but love 4U NR800.

    My point of view for NF800 3ug5:

    Frame type similar to ZFII just that NF800 is thinner.
    Weight: heavier than NR Zspeed
    Stiffness: more stiff than NR Zspeed
    Last night I played using NF800. Lobbing and Smashing was effortless which is good for me. Backhand defending is abit troubled for me. I guess I still need a little bit time to adjust it.
    Overall: It's a good racket for Single player rather than Double player.

    Does the NF800 3u tire you like the AX88S/AX77 3u? The AX77 3u tired me after a while. And how does defense of NF800 3u compare to 88D/99 4u?

    Tbh I found the NF800 easier to use yet more demanding compared to the 88S and 77 in 3U. It's easier because the frame speed is so stupid fast for what it is that you can get it going anywhere you need it with ease.

    The aspect where it gets more demanding is that because its easily a notch stiffer and has that small compact head to go with the excellent aerodynamics you will need a higher level of strength, skill, and concentration to time all your shots perfectly.

    Having owned the non-nerfed 99U in 4U before and still currently owning the 88D personally I think the 3U NF800 spanks both to the moon and back in terms of defence speed. You definitely get the racket head to the shuttle faster. Where it does lose out however is the smaller head. I'm getting there faster but I'm also losing out on surface area to contact the offensive shuttle with. I can't count the number of times I've framed a defence. But then again I don't feel any loss or lack of confidence from doing so because I know with more time I'll get more used to the timing and produce better quality defensive shots.

    yea ax99 even 4u is hard to maneuver, and not doubles friendly. 3u nf800 is fast enough for doubles and has good power and good defense. the more i use it the more i like it (my old go to is 88s 4u)

    With that do you think Nf800 4u better for high competitive doubles considering the fatigue comes in if using a 3u Nf800

    IMO? If you're in any shape to be seriously competetive even at a recessional level. You should be able to use a 3U with relative ease. Unless of course you have injuries and what not then the 4u could be the better choice.

    Ugh honestly? Superior. But that's just my opinion. But here's why you need to take it with a grain of salt. I've never truly gelled with the 88D before. I can make it work for me but it won't work with me if you know what I mean? My synergy with the NF800 is far superior and after 4 sessions so far I actually might make it my main racket.

    Dang you! I was just about to pick up a back up 4U 88D because I'm really gelling with it past half a year ... now I'll have to get a 3U NF 800 to test for myself.

    Are you able to smash repeatedly with the 3u NF800 as much as the 4u 88D/99?
