    That's actually quite noticeable too in some of his recent games.

    3u will be around 88g, 4u around 83g as stated on yonex website!

    Maybe the 4u version will be more suited to doubles and the 3u suited for singles

    Hope so, on the matrix it shows the 99 to be slightly head heavier than the 88d so hopefully not too head heavy

    Well...having CW to convert from his disguised ZF to a AX99, we all can assume 99 is gonna be a tough racket to tame.

    According to the matrix position, I'd guess that AX99 will be fine for both singles and doubles. In fact it looks like it should be very close to 88D (makes sense because otherwise KM would not debut a new racquet at WC).

    Remember, it's an all NAMD AX, so it may be a player friendly racket.

    Are you sure the AX99 LCW is using isn’t a repainted ZF?

    It's unfortunate that we won't be able to double check this. It'll be easy to tell with the cone.

    Can you check out the pros racquet thread before questioning what @Cycril said?
    It can be damn easy to type a post but damn hard to find.

    So find it before you type and post.

    http://www.badmintoncentral.com/for...and-their-racquets.2306/page-275#post-2655711

    Hope you know what you're looking at in that link, in that highlighted box. I already spoonfed you.
    Because if not I don't think you are qualified to ask this question.

    That's a bit harsh isn't it? All we know so far is the LCW is marketing the AX99. Until we physically see him on court with one you can never be sure if he's actually using the new racquet or simply using another repainted racquet.

    I nearly quoted you in the heat as well mate, but have you seen the images of him in Msia Open clapping with the racquet and the cone is an Energy Boost cap? I thought you'd have seen already so I gave you the benefit of the doubt and removed your quote.

    EDIT:

    Here we go. Again.

    Well I did see it but honestly forgot about it. Pretty safe then to say that he is using the new AX99. Even so.. that's some helluva unnecessary anger towards someone who might not check every thread on this board in his/her spare time and may have just asked a simple question that's totally reasonable to ask.

    Maybe you can compare ax 88d and ax 99 with this matrix

    Do people think it'll be like a faster framed/shaft head heavier 88s?
