    Same hold feel as 88 S pro but bags more power?

    Edit. Congrats on the BEST smash sound I've ever heard! (88 s pro video).

    Like it much better than the 88S Pro. I like the 88D Pro much better than the 88S Pro too!

    IMO, it's tight contest between the 88D Pro and 99 Pro as to my favourite Yonex racket at the moment

    Just got my hand on the 88D pro. How is the stiffness and head heaviness compare to the 99 Pro?

    88 d pro is heavier than 88 s pro?

    I think it's relatively similar. Did you get the 3U or 4U?

    I have the 4U version. I came from the og 99 orange also 4U but I find it too stiff as I train a lot less.
    So far, the 88D pro seems to be easier to wield for me. Just wondering how different the new 99 could be

    99pro definitely feels like 88s pro but head heavier. The grommet pattern looks similar too between 99pro and 88pro.

    Which one is better? Should I buy the Rogue S1 or Astrox 99 Pro?
