Have VTZF. Could not master it as well, due to the stifness of the shaft. Regularly used Fleet 3K Woven Ti 1, also a head heavy racket.
I agreed with tiger smash, this racket is really really forgiving, I'm going to try n9 ii for more power from the back with almost the same med flex
I have now weighed three ax77’s two yellow, one blue. All 4UG5 stringed with BG80. Don’t know if it’s so much interest since they are stringed, but I think the difference is interestring. So: 1. Yellow, with strings and original grip: 87.4 g 2. Blue, with strings and original grip: 89.3 g 3. Yellow, with strings, og removed, two layers of cushion wrap and overgrip: 87.3 g Even if this doesn’t tell us the unstringed weight, the blue is clearly heavier. So don’t always expect yellow to be heavier (or we got a blue freak racket) Edit: I bought 1 and 2 just a couple of months ago. Maybe this thing with the yellow being heavier is a first/early edition thing?
...and then it’s number 4 which is just shy of 87 grams, but there might be some material missing there https://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/index.php?threads/broken-astrox-77.180873/
It's more of other brands don't conform to the common weight classes than the big brands not conforming to them lol. E.g. Apacs 4U encompasses up to 86g Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
Anyone have experience with the 4U versions of both AX66 and AX77? I'd love to read a comparison or a review on the 66.
hello! new here i was wondering if anyone had any advice for which weight i should get. i currently use a 3u even balance racket, and play mostly doubles. any pointers would be great. thanks!
Get a blue 3U. They tend to weigh less than the yellows so the transition will be easier. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
Hello everyone. I've previously used a 4u vtzf2, looking for a more forgiving replacement and currently considering ax77 or arc11. Would the 3u ax77 feel much heavier than a 4u vtzf2, or should i get the 4u version? I've also used duora 10 before and i didn't like it, would the arc11 feel the same? I mainly play doubles
For doubles i would prefer AX77 in 4u or a Nanoflare700 for medium stiff rackets. Arc11, Duora10 and AX77 in 3u are better for singles.
Hi If you prefer the ZF2 (like me), you will not like the AX77. AX77 does not have the shuttle holding (whipping power). I personally prefer the AX88s which still have the 1/2 of the ZF2 shuttle hold. I have not played with Arc11 yet Regards
I moved from ZF2 3U to 88s 4U, need a bit of adjustment, first few games was awful but after get use to the swing of 88s, absolutely love it.
Wow thats quite a change, dont you feel the 88s 4u too light after using ZF2?Whats your reason changing to a very different racket?
Hi there In your previous statement, I believe you will like the 4u. 3u will be abit heavy for you. Regards
