    77 is slower by a lot according to me
    HS is the quickest, to a point that sometimes you don’t know where the racquet head is
    100X is a fraction slower but still incredibly quick, and much easier to keep track of the racquet head, the head weight feels more concentrated higher up

    It depends on what you want from you’re racquet. I play with 4U versions and play only MD and MS. It’s nearly impossible to play singles with both auraspeed. To me, there’s not enough carry from the racquet to make it comfortable and viable.

    I just bought an OG Ax77 4U very curious to see how it feels like.

    The 100x is a very good racket. But the 4U sometimes feels so light and slightly hollow that I can't feel where the shuttle is going. It provides a good smash when timed correctly, but I'm plying more singles recently so I need smtg abit more powerful

    Which one is more tiring? 100x in 3u or 90k2? Because u said u cannot feel the heaviness of 90k2 but tires you fast...
    I'm currently wairing 90k2 in my country and buy 4u for spare racket... Sometimes if i play everyday(3 days straight) 3u makes me slow

    I only have the 4U variants, sorry
    But comparing these two in 4U, 90k2 is clearly way more tiring
    When in an off day it’s kinda like the racquet is « dead »

    Hmm strange though.. I’m an intermediate mid to high player and have used 90k2 for 2 hours training followed by 2 hours games before and never felt 90k2 tiring..

    To be honest the usability of 90k2 is the same as Ryuga 2 but with more “substance”. Both rackets are very easy to use.. :/

    We should agree to disagree :)
    I know that when I’m already tired because of work or whatever the 90k2 is clearly not the good option… you don’t realise at first but it’s rather tiring and taxing for the arm, at least for me.
    Never had this problem with 100X but then again it feels way lighter around the court

    I was wondering if anyone has used both Astrox 77 Pro (4u) and Auraspeed 100x (4u), and can kindly share how these two compare against each other in terms of overall feeling, head weight, and shaft stiffness? Thank you

    I happen to use the both of these. The 77 will be a head heavy version of the 100X. Both rather easy to use.
    Simply put if u are into more power shot take 77.
    Into faster play take 100X.
    I've switch from 77 being my primary racket to 100X now.

    I find the 100x being stiffer than the 77pro tho.

    Maybe slightly stiffer. Not a huge difference in my opinion. If 77p is 7/10 stiff then 100x would be 7.5/10

    Thats interesting, I actually though the 100x was atleast an 8 in stiffness, or it could just be my opinion because the 100x was head lighter
