How good is she and how effective is she at wielding that thing? I still am of the opinion that the 88D is where the head heaviness line should be set. I think that its hard to be consistent with anything above that.

In my hometown, a women just bought Astrox 99 pro the last few days.

I have to admit that all women in the world can play any racket that they want, because they just hit the shuttle like hitting balloon.

They don't know how to smash, especially a really strong smash.
 
Guys, I was just joking. She a complete beginner that doesn't notice any difference, only standing at the net, never hitting clears let alone smashes. I just find the notion that Momota's game suffered due to his racket choice absurd.

It's remarkable how people time and time again fall for these absurd and obvious attempts at trolling.

Reddit user Coromengas translation:

Q: In the past, you always said, you love Badminton, it's fun. How about now?

A: Right now, it's very very painful. Even though it's something that I must do, I can't response nor can I win. Right now I'm in the situation where I don't know what I'm lacking.

Well, being in Japan, it has been a while since I got so much cheers, the matches were fun, but I don't know, why I become like this. The more I play, the less confidence I become. There were many sleepless nights. I have too much thoughts.

Q: Have you ever thought of taking a break from Badminton?

A: ...

Q: Does that scare you?

A: If I could, I would. I would end up wanting to immediately train instead.

Q: You love Badminton, right?

A: Yes.

Q: You want to play Badminton, right?

A: Yes.

Right now, I go to tournaments, unable to play the way I want to, lose, sigh, and get broken down mentally, rinse and repeat. Rather than wanting to take a break from Badminton, I keep wanting to train until I could play the way I want to.

Q: What do you need to do to return to the top? Is it the playing style? Is it mental?

A: Isn't it everything? I feel right now I lack everything. But the most important is probably my mental state.

Sorry for that delayed response.

Ok - well it depends - if you are a doubles player focused at the back then a head heavy racket is a blessing. Although the only super head heavy racket I used is the VZF2. But it is different from the AX99 since it has the smaller head making it more aero. So maybe this is what is making me like it.

Although - I quickly got rid of it for singles.

I found my nice balance which is the AX88D for both doubles and singles.

But Momota was amazing with the AX88D and the VZF2
