removing the factory grip and using cushion grip as the main thickener of your grip will remove a ton of weight. I think the factory grip is 7g, and a cushion wrap that has been wrapped enough to equate to the thickness of the factory grip will be 1g or so. That's a 5-6g difference, which gets you 15-18mm of balance point change.

But you’ll also add a 5-6g overgrip...
 
yeah but most people are also adding overgrip over the factory grip as well, so in the end the factory grip + overgrip will be heavier than the underwrap + overgrip by 5-6 grams
 
It turns out I cant play today
I recently travel to Jakarta, not allowed to get in

Will play hopefully next Sunday after 14 days period is over

I once said that I wont buy ARS90K 3U
But i did haha

Very hard to resist the offerings, S$140, so I bought 2 pcs

ARS90S and ARS90K have the same frame design with some differences:

ARS90S, RRI 7/10, BP 309 final, 89gr
ARS90K, RRI 8/10, BP 315 final, 89gr

Im happy so far with ARS90S and ARS98K, let see tomorrow, im going to play and test ARS90K

Wow what a bargain. Is that the normal price of that racket in Singapore?
Please do a comparison beetwen this to 90s and JPX Ltd.
Thanks

Better if you can share the shaft Code number, because i have tkfc too.
The victor cone now is use light material and cheap printing victor logo, than make this racket look like fake.

Exactly. So I’d ask him for pictures of the buttcap, codes and let him explain what are the indicators of it being fake.

Finally I've managed to get back pictures of my shaft code and cone sticker - albeit out of focus and very blurry. The buyer said that's the best he could do. They're now uploaded here https://photos.app.goo.gl/Az5rTaqJg98fPzX2A

Also sent him the warranty card. Really hope this is gonna end soon.

I think this is a perfect example of why BP is horrendously unreliable as an indicator of how a racket actually performs.

IMO BP as a data point should only be considered when rackets are unstrung and with factory grips on (or with plastic wrap if we need to be pedantic).

Agree. And even with identical dry set-ups, I think the best BP measurement could do really, is telling us users roughly how headlight/headheavy the racket is going to be. And roughly, because two racket with the same BP can feel massively different in the hand.
 
The only two rackets in the current lineup that's closest to dsz's stiffness is thruster bxr and auraspeed 98k.

thruster bxr 4u has very similar swing weight to dsz 3u, so it sounds like that's the closest one.

auraspeed 98k has significantly less head heaviness than both of the above.

I have both and they play very differently. For me 4U BXR is harder to maneuver than 3U DZS.

yep that will be always the case with 4u head heavy vs 3u even, even if the swing weight is the same. but if to return to the topic in the current line up even stiff are ars90s and drive 7k c, but both have way much bigger heads, even stiff and with a bit smaller heads (not as compact but still) are only jetspeeds (10 and 12f)

can somebody compare the thruster bxr and the auraspeed 90k?

BXR is light, I dont feel the racket has the power to meet my expectation. Its a no go for me.
90K, I only played once so can't make conclusion yet. First impression, I don't feel the racket is heavy, fast frame and somehow I feel the sound of the racket during impact isn't really satisfying.
 
oh bxr doesn't have power? I heard from someone that the bxr 4u is more powerful and faster than the astrox 88d 4u. I needed someone to confirm so I'm asking here
