Yonex says 26lb maximum duora 10. But, how high actually we can go without putting much strain on racquet? Should 30lbC×28lbM be okay?
sure if you trust your stringer. and i don't know about the +2lb on the cross since i never do it mainly because 1) my stringer uses constant electronic pull and 2) i believe today's racquet materials don't benefit
In business: "Always be selling" that's the motto. so i believe Yonex will always get their stars use the newest rackets as much as possible.
I don't think it has anything to do with the materials. I personally find 30x32 to play a lot nicer than 30x30, or perhaps I still haven't reached my ideal tension yet...
maybe, maybe not-- but the days of one grommet style one stringing pattern oval shaped racquet heads is behind us and i believe that was the factor. or i'm simply too naive to know the difference as well haha.
DUORA 10 anybody experience using forehand side to play back hand, and using back hand side to play forehand or smashing? any big different?
if you do that you get a faster swing on your forehand. and normal/slower swing on ya backhand. the box side frame is supposed to help you generate a harder smash than a normal frame while the aero side is supposed to let you swing faster so you defend better.. haha if you like Aero sides on both sides, you could get nanoray 900 or JS10 or Bravesword 12.
Not sure if any tried, but I tend to agree that Chou Tien is also using a painted Z-Force 1 and Yonex is using top ranked players to market Duora 10. Nevertheless, Danish double players like Mads Pieler Kolding + Boe & Mogensen are playing with the real thing. The latter, however, during the Singapore Open was spotted using the Arcsaber 11 rackets (again). I guess Yonex did not manage to paint a set of 'undercover' rackets in time for that event
Arc11, vt70 etune, duora10, nr900 are pretty suitable for doubles play. No need to repaint. Recently I'm enjoying my d10 too. Very good defensive racket.
You got a good point Dave At least for mens single it is crucial to get the shuttle down with maximum speed considering top players defensive-skills. Perhaps Duora 10 is an excellent racket (I have not yet tested it), however if you fall in love with a racket because of LCW or other brand ambassadors, be aware, 'love can make you blind'.
It's not the amount of power that is significantly different. In singles, you are often forced to make shots where you're out of position and can't perform a proper swing. The mass helps you make those shots even if you can't swing the racquet very quickly. That's my opinion. Doubles players smash just as hard with lighter racquets, so that can't be the reason why.
i don't think a smaller racket head particularly helps in making rescue/emergency shots when out of position.
It doesn't, but that's a different issue altogether I think. Some people are going to prefer compact heads and others ISO. Pros being who they are probably hit just as cleanly with both though.
