    SWSH is correct. I do play feathers only with players in my club that won't damage the feather birds only after a few strikes. I don't play with cheap feather birds either (I prefer Aerosensa 50).
    Still, I would like to know how this racquet is like with plastic birds if anyone had experienced with it. Thanks.

    My experience with nylon vs feather with z strike .. not exceptional ... I personally play more with nylon and I can play all shots properly but I never get the wow effect that I get when i play with feather ... With feather, this racket just comes alive ...

    my expirience using this racket is very good so far . ive been using this racket for almost 6 months now. Prefer to other rackets, this one is a hard one to use tbh. the head slightly smaller and there also small sweetspot for the racket . i used this racket for most of my doubles games. i use aerobite string 29 lbs and i love the control especially the back hand site tho . so thats is my review for duora zs

    Definitely not beginner friendly racket for passerby out there looking at this thread
    There is a reason why this thread is so inactive.

    If you are decently skilled, there's plenty of other choices. This racket leave almost no room for mis-hit. Cl

    Surprised this racket hasn’t gotten a new color yet especially since it’s still widely used professionally.

    It took me 3 sessions/1 week to get used to the timing and sides. Once I got used to it, it became an absolute beast in double's play.

    Im still prefer using the aero side maybe due to the overgrip. Somehow it swings much faster than my 88s. Absolutely love it. And no offense to Victor it is an improvement and what i want my js10 to be like.

    got a duora z strike (3UG5) last week, have to say i don't really feel the head very much (i come from head heavy 3u rackets from voltric, astrox), which is a bummer. but still, this racket is really comfortable to play with, while still giving me the same amount of power needed, and im gonna get another one.

    There is simply none. Just look in the portfolio of Li-Ning. There is no extra stiff racket according to YY level. Also Li-Ning don't have any compact frame. IMO there is nothing. Maybe a Gosen/Mizuno (don't know their products well) and closest is JS10 3U, but this don't have the weight in the head. IMO a large percentage of players is better off with something else than a extra stiff compact frame.

    Never measured and bp is worthless. I owned two and the head weight was in the 41.x g area, wet IIRC for the 3U.
