    for all Duora 8XP owners, can someone please to help to measure the racket handle length from the top of the control cap and to the bottom of the handle cap?

    Thank you so much for the help!

    Tbh I'd say it's nearly the same as DZS or ARC11 or DUO10.

    this will fit you alright, but will take time. it will stiff for you but over time youll adapt nicely to it.
    i have had Mp29 in the past and then went over to zf2, it took time and transition was difficult. you just have to be patient with it

    Currently i'm using vt7dg but this racket broken too, i hear "tik" sound on the grip after hit the shuttle.
    Planning to sell it because of that and change to duora 8 xp, i hope that flex is more forgiving than vt7dg
    Btw thank's man for your advice

    that is normal with yonex.
    flex is adaptable

    you must get your cone cap examined by a yonex person and get some adhesive in and around the cap area. you should try to localise the source of sound

    Test drive early lol
    After play 2 hours, i feel like this is my "wife" it fill my heart lol
    Smasheh are good, better than my last racket
    Netting is good, but sometimes cross around net is more difficult.
    I found this racket is very fast in swing speed. Solid feel. So i can adapt very quick to get more accurate shots.
    Just play double, is good for double too.

    Oh mate my balls just dropped and I had to pick it back up from the floor! Like I had to triple re-read it....

    I hope you meant the string combo was a cracker, not cracking the frame......
    I'm really happy for you if you found your right combo, not the frame passing away....
