    Hello everybody,

    I have been using a Yonex Aerotus 70 for the past 24 years. Back in the days I was young tournament player and had the chance to test rackets - and chose the Aerotus 70.

    Now, a little older, I was still using it but decided to finally replace it (especially as the string just ripped ;)).

    It is a 2UG3 racket and for me it was more on the (head) heavy side which I kinda liked. It has also some flex - especially if I compare it to my other Victor racket (Victor pioneer - even older than the Yonex).

    So far I have only found the Yonex Duora Z-Strike to be available as 2UG4 (can play with Overgrips a little) but this one seems to be super stiff (so "no" flex).

    Any recommendations given I am coming from the Aerotus 70.
    Price is not a real concern for finding the right racket - especially if you think I will have it 10+ years again. ;)

    Thank you very much, br Rene

    Hi, thanks for the reply. Finally decided for an Astrox 99, had it in my hand. Great head-heavy feeling, even as 4U it doesn't feel too light for me. Got it with an BG66 Force (strung at 11,5kg).

    Played for the first time today. Really liked it - but still need to get used to it. ;) Anyhow, I am happy with the decision! ;)
