    After having used this racquet a few weeks I have to say that it is really nice. It's kind of weird though because the string area is even bigger than on my thruster 8k which is already a box frame. Despite that the adipower pro is actually quite fast. The weirdest thing to me though is the handle size, mine is g5 but is slightly bigger than a victor g5 especially at the butt cup where the lump is quite large. The biggest thing about this racquet is that the power is great ad it has been said many times. I find it has the power that head heavier ones have but it has a nicer feeling balance to my hand.

    interesting, coz mine is G4 and i find it just a tad smaller than younex G4. or at least the combination of yonex handle + original grip + overgrip compared to the same on the APP.
    the weird thing is that the balance of the racket is around 292 but it really feels beefy, i guess the overall weight is close to 90g, when most of the other 3U rackets i have are closer to 85-87.

    thought i'd move to the appropriate thread...

    i'd say the stiffness and bp is between arc 10 and 7

    it is noticeably stiffer than duoforce

    Thanks for the information. Like I told Jackie in the other thread, I'm probably going to avoid getting this racquet now. It's probably going to be too stiff for me. Although Jackie said it's about as stiff as an Arc11...

    How is this racket compare to ARC11, such as shaft stiffness, speed, power?
    It seem that it have similar balance point and weight.

    Thanks all
    :)

    What is the closest adidas to the Yonex Nanoray 800 or Victor BS12?

    Possess a adipower pro, strung V26xH28 lbs; BG66UM(0.65);

    Luv the racket feedback and enjoyed the smashes it delivers as a whole pkg(racket+type of string).

    Wonder when will Adidas come out with a new series of adipower.... Still waiting ...

    Broke my second Adidas Pro racquet tonight - tonight's was AdiPower Pro, bought from Badmania.fr.

    Three months ago my AZPro (purchased from Vancouver) also broke at the 2'o clock position.

    Can't be the manufacturing quality - as I've not seen any reviewers talk about frame breakage. Not sure if this racquet is suited to my style of play...had no issues with Voltric ZF2 or Voltric 80...

    Any thoughts..? (AdiPower Pro BG70Power 24LBS)

    I'm trying to buy a adiPower Pro and a DuoForce. On EBay, there is one selling for 95 dollars but made in China. On e78.us, it's labeled as adiPowerPro JP. Is it supposed to be made in Japan? Is the one on EBay faked?

    All Adidas rackets are made in China.
