    Cmon.... one guy out of the blue just mentions model code and refuses to share pics, you just show matrix....... jeez

    Anyway since you guys play it secretive I'll leak one thing (not sure if concrete) about the Duora 8 XP... it's supposed to be warrantied to 35lbs.

    the ETNs are gone?

    but if that matrix is correct, DUO8XP is what i've been looking for... hopefully it won't be like the disappointing MIT ARC009DX
    any word if this model is made in japan?

    also not digging these christmas colored AX88s

    So they claim
    Astrox 88D is for rear court players.
    Astrox 88S is for front court players.

    Ooooooooooo! They really want the AX88S for control !

    AX88S (RED CONE GREEN FRAME) is ONLY 670MM (5MM LONG) in length! Breaking from the usual tradition 675mm frames that all Yonexes come in since "10MM LONG" was invented!

    And me being me, unlike Okaharu, WILL SHARE THE SPEC SHEET.

    Who's keen to be a shuttle slayer? Lol VibSlayer Carbon... what a hyperbole name. I can vision explosions by each side when they announce this technology.

    Duora8XP certified to be warrantied at 35lbs.

    Very interesting.

    A super stiff, completely evenly balance Duora and a beastly Astrox that looks like a replacement for the VT80ET.

    Also, like the colours of the new Astrox. They don't look great on pictures but will really stand out on the court.

    Also like the AX66, a sensible racket for improving players.

    Nice nice.

    So, 'S' could be for speed but can't figure out what could D stand for?
