    Phew, then we are so lucky that Li-Ning is known to publish fitting and consistent specs for their rackets.

    Actually they do, it‘s the websites that sell them that have inconsistent and conflicting data. :p

    Li ning colour design have been on point for a while now. Whilst Victor and others have lost the plot.

    It's not even close to an Astrox, what on earth are you talking about

    Probably because he read that the length is similar to the 88s

    Oh interesting, didn't even notice it's shorter than usual. Weird.

    Seems somewhat like a thin N99. Not exactly but roughly.

    I for one am glad to see a box frame again albeit thinner than usual (from the pictures). I know it may not be the popular opinion but I can just never gel well with aero frames.

    Here are some close up comparisons between a CP n99 and 7000
    114131j8szx8lx168ccolk.jpg 114133qqthf6fi9tmzfqho.jpg 114134zi1icnaik6a4u1pj.jpg 114132u8mo8g7obum7jyjm.jpg 114132p224qqfipqgtqiiq.jpg 114135gm47yqfbffbiaq5b.jpg 114136qo49how48483wchv.jpg 114137lmv197m1daz5vuvr.jpg
    Observations as noted by owner:
    • 7000 shaft is tapered (thinner towards the t-joint)
    • 7000 handle length is 200mm (10mm shorter than CP n99 which is 210mm)
    • shaft length are identical - racquet length of 7000 is 10mm shorter
    • stiffer than n99 but similar to CP n99
    Frame thickness is difficult to tell due to the different paint job/lighting. I'll let you be the judge.
    As the 7000 was stacked in front of the n99 in some shots it looks much thicker

    Your next racquet? haha :p:D

    Ok back on topic, I believe he'll eventually go back to the n7ii. He's in a bit of a slump and the 7000 didn't really switch things up for him...

    That does infact look thicker at the shaft. How weird o.0

    And nah, although I'm sure it's absolutely fantastic to play with, I know it's no astrox 88s in terms of compatibility. :p

    Next is the Astrox-XX for sure.

    In the Thai open. Thailand men's doubles isara and jongjit are using Adidas wucht p5 and spieler p09 respectively.

    Quite amusing they using some of the lower end stuff.

    I wouldn't consider the Wucht P5 a lower end racket tbh. It plays much like a BS11 but with a bit more flex.

    Mostly directed to the Spieler P09 and maybe also he's not using the higher Wucht range. But yeah could've worded it a bit better.

    DUO10LCW updated paint job to be consistent with LCW's (repainted) racquet
    Yonex milking the last of it before LCW moves on to promote the next AX XX

    I've tried P09 for a while and despite the low price it's a very good racket.
    It plays like a softer JS11.
    Slightly easier to use but less feel
