    Hi guys, I'm a JS10 and AX88S user and currently just bought the AX99, all 4UG5 bg66 ultimax @ 26lbs.
    Initial thought, don't quite like the AX99, it is slow, very head heavy as compared to JS10 and AX88S, not suited my playing style, kinda need to adjust my hitting timing to much slower pace, play double the most.
    Thinking to trade the AX99 to AX88D but my friends told me both the 88d and 99 are quite similar, I'm please to seek for enlightenment on that, thanks.

    4U 88D is less head heavy and would be better for doubles than 4U 99

    ****. That's so ugly it doesn't even deserve a word/phrase for how ugly it is. If they got the blue right it might not seem so bad frankly. It just looks disgustingly cheap right now.

    It seems they haven't spent anytime thinking about the looks at all. All they cared was we need a new racket with LCW name ... And out came this ugly one.

    Could I be the only person here that thinks it’s gonna look good? White navy pink seems to be a good combo for each another.

    I do think that this, AX66 & 77blue is the only good looking astrox-es. Maybe I’ll include the OG ax99, but I think the color scheme is just regular.
    AX88S/D is straight out ugly.

    It's always a matter of personal preference. IMO the color scheme of the AX99 LCW is gorgeous, as well as the AX88 siblings. I don't like a dominantly yellow racket color as if you're wielding a giant cheese stick
    I don't like an all white racket either as it's so boring unless it is balancedly combined with other neutral colors. Black with some other colors look better with me like the dark Sabre and jpx ltd

    Don't say that my AX88Ds are ugly!!! :mad::mad::mad:


    Btw I also love the color on the new AX99 LCW ... but we are yet to see it down to the handle.

    It's just that it is LCW and not Momota.

    You can Google it and I get the impression that it's kinda similar to the tk9900 color. But overall I find it nice.

    The presence of white color at the top frame makes it look weird for me. Hopefully it will looks differently/nicer in reality after all this is my idol LCW’s new weapon :D

    Well the stripes on the right already exist on the original colourway. They just stand out even more now because they changed the colour instead of blended it with the same colour.
