I keep my shoes and drinks in a separate bags, so I can hold up to 14 racquets in this bag. Normally I don’t bring that many, the least I bring is 7-8 and sometimes up to 12.
What A Collection Bro... That is Impressive. What is your most favorite racket ? the one you held when facing strong opponents for a W. Is it 3U or 4U ?
I didn't have my most favorite rackets at the time I took these photos, I left them at the shop to get strunged: The Z-Force II and the Z-Strike! After so many years and so many good releases like 100 ZZ and 11 Pro, I still feel most confident holding the legendary Z-Force II and Z-Strike Maybe I will post an updated photo later when I get them back from the shop hehe
Awesome ... I never really played with Duora Z Strike before. Thanks to you Duora Z Strike will be next on my list to rock on . VTZF II is currently my fav swords too. We might have similar taste for our weapon of choices. Looks like you are a YY maniac Looking forward for your updated photo hehe
Hands Down You are indeed Yonex Maniac.. Your collection is jaw dropping man ... Playing with 150grams racket in a fun game, it is a proper to train your muscles. Nice idea, I should try that out sometimes.
Be really careful with it though, it may not feel much at first but it's a real injury risk if you push yourself too much with it. I only use it to have fun or to warm up. Hitting clears, backhand or even smashes (very bad smashes hahaha) are fine. Drives and net drops are terrible and would hurt my wrist... All the coaches I have seen have advised me against using it to play an actual game of badminton, the heaviest weight that is considered to be "safe" is 132 grams, given that you are strong and trained enough. I don't know where this number comes from, but many coaches have told me the same hehe.
Hi... I would be careful with it. After reading your post , I Tried playing with 120gr training racket few days ago. It is really fun but tiring towards the end of a long rally. Afterall, it was an exciting experience. I will try it again sometime. My wrist & arm was not hurt, but it was sore enough, I just put some ice on for a few minutes and the next day it was much better.

Official specs say it’s stiffer than the normal Ryuga, and the shaft now has metallic carbon fiber. I have used it for a few days now, my feeling is it feels pretty much the same as the normal Ryuga. Really can’t tell the difference without looking at the rackets. I use 3U for both versions.

Hi, first of all I really envy your collection Really wish to have that many rackets haha Another thing is I wonder how is the difference between Axforce 70 and Axforce 90 Max Tiger? Planning to get one of them to backup my Astrox 77 Pro
First of all, thank you! Axforce 70 I didn't play much with, but it's not as stiff as 90 Max Tiger or Astrox 77 Pro, and it's also less head heavy. I think it's more comparable to Astrox 66 maybe. Astrox 77 Pro is one of my favorites too, and I think Axforce 90 Max Tiger would be a fine backup for it. Similar stiffness, similar headweight, similar repulsion and feelings. I think Axforce 80 is the closest equivalent that Lining has for Astrox 77 Pro, but Axforce 90 Max Tiger is close too. In my opinion, Axforce 80 = Astrox 77 Pro < Axforce 90 Max Tiger < Astrox 88DP, in terms of stiffness and head weight. Axforce 90 Max Dragon and Astrox 88SP are designed a bit more differently, so they don't fit in this all-around category of offense rackets I think.
Quite the collection! Which in your opinion is the closest racket to the Astrox88D from li ning? At first I thought tiger could do it, but it's not close.
Thank you! That was my initial thought too, Tiger is the closest to 88D that I can think of, but yeah it's not similar enough. Not even 3U Tiger can be a good replacement for 4U 88D, in my opinion. And our search continues... Lately, I have been enjoying the 2024 88DP ~
WOW!! A few more years you can open a museum with all those wonderful collection. Just curious how do you rotate among all those rackets & won't playing with so many different specs (HH,HL & Balance) rackets affects your timings?
Sorry for the late reply, I ended up picking the Axforce 70 and I have to agree with your statement here! Definitely more comparable to Astrox 66 that I used before. Quite a fun racket to play with but lack the head heavy and punch of Astrox 77 Pro like you said. But nevertheless, I still quite like it and keep switching it with my 77 Pro as it is such an easy racket to use. Definitely want to try the 90 Max Tiger when I have the chance!
