Hi all Does anyone have tried this racket? How does it feel like comparing to the ZF2 or the A88s Regards
Isn't it just a lighter version of Duora 10? You have a Duora 10 yourself right? For me, I will just compare Duora 10 to ZF2 and A88S Power: ZF2 > A88S > Duora 10 Control: Duora 10 > A88S > ZF2 Speed: Duora 10 = A88S > ZF2 Backhand: Duora 10 > A88S > ZF2 Feel/solid: ZF2 > Duora 10 = A88S Design: Duora 10 > ZF2 > A88S
I am currently using duora 10 LT for almost a year and own 3 pieces, 2 I purchased last year and 1 early this year. I love it, control very well and It's the closest to arc saber 11 in my opinion.. also I needed that light weight due to my shoulder injury. However, recently I strung 30lbs using BG 65 string. And it got cracks, inwards of the racket frame. I assume maybe, the head frame accidentally bang the floor. However, I just checked my other racket and it also got small cracks. I'm afraid it could brake any time soon. I'd appreciate to know if theres any duora 10 LT user that encounter this.. because if not, then maybe it's my stringer problem or it occured from racket clash. Thank you
The maximum (recommended) tension for that racket is 26lbs. Anything above that will cause problems - you are at risk of either rapid collapse from a mis-hit/clash or slow painful stress cracking and strings sinking into the frame. Different rackets handle the stress of being over the recommended max tension differently. Some will implode, some will handle it well but break more easily in a clash or if a string snaps. You are at the mercy of the badminton gods if your racket survives or dies when you exceed the recommended maximum. Arc11 can handle the extra stress well but eventually the strings will sink into the frame. If you want a similar racket to reliably handle the high tension you use then it is best to look for a different racket.
