    I really like the feeling of TKF-enhanced and I have two of them. However, with recent bad experience with Victor claim process, I am thinking of moving toward Yonex.

    However, I am not sure what racket on Yonex side has the similar feeling. My first guess is Astrox 77 pro. However, I used to use the blue Astrox 4u4g before and it feels too sluggish while I heard that Ax77 red OG, or Ax77 pro are faster racket.

    Please advice, thanks.

    Probably 77 Pro, yes. They are similar in balance. TKF is a little bit stiffer.

    77 Pro is definitely better than the 77, not as sluggish.

    88D Pro is another option but it's more head heavy and feels heavier overall.

    just buy 3rd tkfe - it is amazing, especially if you are in a shape to handle it :).. but it is probably the best racket Victor made after JS10 :)

    I would say the 77pro feels quite heavy. And while the Victor has a stiffer shaft, it feels softer overall compared to 77Pro.....methinks it's due to the freecore handle.

    Off topic but what are you trying to claim that is being denied?

    My vote goes to the 88D pro, I find it just as fast but much more powerful then the thruster.

    I hit the birdies with frame (no crash) and the racket cracked. I just bought this racket for 2 months. It took 6 months to get the new racket (as my claim got rejected at first).

    Not the brand you want, but as much as I have heard about, Li Ning Halbertec 8000 might suit your needs. Try to test it beforehand if possible.

    I had a TKF Enhanced but somehow did not click with it. May not have the same feeling, but Yonex Arcsaber 11 Pro is worth considering as it is about even balance although with slightly stiffer shaft.
