    In case you are considering,

    My friend's Axforce 80 broke without a clash, my axforce 90 tiger also broke without clash. These are no N80 II or N9 II which are built like tanks.

    Aww really? My two 90 dragons have clashed at least a half dozen times each and like there's only one tiny speck of paint that came off. My 100ZZ broke on its first clash lol. I still can't get over how mint the rackets look after so much use.

    I'm sorry I don't have any numbers for you but the 80 and 90 Tiger feel close to identical in balance to me. I've always felt the only real difference is that the 80 is medium/high flex and the 90 Tiger is more medium stiff.
    For some strange reason, 3U for Li-ning also seems more stiff than the 4U in certain models, 90 dragon for one.

    First time hearing that Axforces broke. What was the tension/string and could it be that you both went for the same stringer? Where did they break?

    Thanks. As long as I don't came across one of them in real life I don't have a reference point to imagine how they feel.

    My point of asking this is that I'm looking for something between 41-42g headweight with strings. Perfect would be ~41.5g. I often feel that 4U is too light for me and turn out 39-40g while 3U often break the 42g in head weight and this is for me a bit too much for MD.

    Mine 28, I get rackets strung at the shop beside Gopichand academy most of Indian pro players (Satwik/Chirag/Prannoy etc) get their rackets strung there so decent stringer for me. Other guy I don't know tension or stringer.

    Hi,

    I was wondering, has anyone tried the Axforce 100 3u/4u? How does it compare to the Axforce 90 Tiger 3u?

    Hi I enjoyed using the AxForce80 but I felt that there's abit too whippy , any rackets to recommend? I was thinking somewhere along 90 Tiger, TKFE, Ryuga2, Halbertec 9000 and 77Pro.

    If you want to stay head heavy, but stiffer shaft, then Axforce 90 tiger or dragon, Axforce 100, ryuga 2, or 88d pro.

    Just 2 previous sites I posted in #7005 a comparison (AF100 vs 100ZZ, for the lazy ones with a timecode ;)) video by VNB which provide all. Swing weight, weight, stiffness and they interviewed a few players who tried both. What do you want more?

    Picked up a 4U AX50 and 4U AX90 tiger recently.
    Some very early impressions.
    Speed felt ok for both. Measuring HW at 39g ish, which is lower than my BS12 SE.
    Shaft is longer on AX50 than AX90. Eyeballing it, probably somewhere around 1.5cm.
    Flexibility at the moment feels in the same ball park as the BS12 SE, so comfortable for my level.
    AX50 hitting felt good due to being more boxy than BS12 SE and my other rackets.
    As others mentioned Li-ning G5 feels like G4.5 compared to my Victor. I usually do yonex super grap overgrip over bare and on AX50 feels pretty good.

    I chose the AX50 based on a comment of it being good value for money. If anyone managed to pick this up when it was on sale at Tennisnuts, then you got a good bargain.

    I recently got an Axforce 70 4u. It's very light for a 4u. Wet weight (strung, stock grip removed, a layer of cushion wrap, and an overgrip) is only 85g. The racket is fast, medium-flex shaft, slightly head-heavy and easy to use. Easy to generate power. It's like a slightly more flexible Astrox 77. I think I like the Axforce 70 more than the Axforce 80 because the 80 has a more compact head/smaller sweet spot.

    Conclusion was pretty clear: The Axforce 100 is more forgiving than the 100ZZ.

    Strung. So not in your desired HW range. ;).
    I was quite surprised, I would've thought the AX90 would be higher.
