yes absolutely right li-ning ultra sharp frames are definitely not fast, due to big head and very thick frame profile and li-ning stiffness categorization is just a joke for me: 1. Apacs Ziggler Lhi pro (zfII head with as stiff shaft but very slight head heavy BP) 2. Fleet Woven Diamond 3/4. JS10 3/4. Protech Unlimited Strike
My Latest list for fastest racket . 1. Jetspeed 10Q. 2. Astrox 88S 3. N7 II white. Anyone disagree can share your view.
AX88S is not really among the fastest rackets. Brave Sword frames are faster. Gosen frames are faster. Heck, I think even some Li Nings are faster.
actually both 88's has very compact head, almost the same as zf II, so I can understand when people say that 88 astroxes are quick, it is mostly due to really compact head.
Those ranking are bullshit... Take a random 6u racket, it will be quicker than most rackets quoted here.
Yeah I understand that of course but to me it doesn't seem very useful. Maybe if we would make different rankings for different weights and balances it would make more sense ? For example n7ii is a fast racket but if I compare that to an extra-stiff headlight Babolat racket, I'm pretty sure it would loose in the speed department... But if you compare the n7ii to the Astrox 88S 3u then it makes more sense and I think the Li-ning would be the quickest.
