    Yea 90k is really not HH already, and 100x is even head lighter (substantially), thus 90k suits better in slow Bangkok venue

    Apparently in one of his vlog posts about what gear he was using he had moved to the 100z?

    You mean the 100X I guess. The Z is owned by Yonex. ;)

    Just checked clips from last week and he was indeed using the 100X during the Thailand Open. Well... that didn't turn out that well for him so I guess he wants to have a go with his previous rackets this week.

    Oh is it? My mistake. I'm getting confused as the names seem to getting the same with yonex and victor :confused:

    Yeah looks like he is still finding his form after recovering from covid.

    Was wondering why there isn't a men's doubles player Using ax99. Seen players on mainly 88d 88s. Few on 100zz. Ax99 mainly target at men's singles.

    Ben Lane used the Astrox 99 in both Men's Doubles (Scottish Open 2018) and Mixed Doubles (French Open 2019). He now uses the 88s as you can see in the Bangkok World Tour Finals he is competing in. If you don't believe me, you can search up his name and the tournament on Youtube.

    Those on ax99 only have a very short stint with it before switching to another model. Quite weird In doubles. Where as alot singles using 99. Currently no men's doubles using Ax99
