I’ll discuss Yonex as an entire (been shopping for them for over 12 years) after which discuss these racquets.
My first racquet was an armortec 150. Performed with it possibly 2 hrs every week whereas I used to be studying and being a newbie to low intermediate participant.
The strings (bg65ti) lasted ceaselessly. The body obtained a crack at 12-o clock earlier than its’ second restring lol. So I sadly threw it away.
Subsequent racquet was Voltric 80. I did not discover the body was misshapen till I in contrast the profile with one other individuals racquet at a pleasant lunchtime event factor. It was no surprise my backhands weren’t constant. I nonetheless have it someplace and the strings aren’t sq.. They’re a bit diagonal due to the body.
I used to be satisfied I wanted a head mild and massive deal with racquet. So I sourced a G3 measurement Nanospeed 9900. High quality of the body is sweet. Numerous clashes as I used to be low to mid intermediate on the time.
Subsequent racquet was a Zforce 1. It was okay, however I struggled with it and wasn’t adequate for it and finally gave it to a buddy. Sturdiness was good.
Subsequent racquets had been two nanorays. Cannot bear in mind the numbers, however they had been a pair much like Astrox 88S, 88D. No sturdiness points with them and once more, ended up promoting to associates as a result of I did not like them.
After that I had some Nanoray 800s. 3Ug4 I believe. Used for a very long time, however hated that my smashes had been weak. I used to be at all times looking out for a racquet with a greater smash.
Subsequent racquet was the Astrox 100zz. Liked it at first. The distinction in protection is noticable and it damage my shoulder enjoying with it for lengthy durations of time. No sturdiness points
Subsequent racquet was Nanoflare 800lt (5ug5). Nice Racquet, but it surely hurts my elbow to play with it. No sturdiness points in any respect.
Then I purchased a Nanoray iSpeed racquet to see if I may get higher smashing with it and never damage my shoulder or elbow (NF800lt may be very stiff).
Hated it lol. Sturdiness is ok.
Then I purchased an astrox nextage (4u g5 I believe) and it was my favorite racquet for some months. Sturdiness and worth efficiency are each excellent. Have to regulate swing pace as a result of it is mid flex and never stiff.
Additionally purchased an astrox cosmic reign. Nothing particular, however feels low cost if you hit the shuttle. If it had collisions, I do not assume it could come out ontop.
Nanoflare 1000z. It is very hit or miss when it comes to sturdiness. It feels stable when enjoying, however conflict quantity 8-10 has triggered a extremely small crack to seem within the racquet on the surface of the body main into one of many grommits. (across the 10 o clock place). And I solely had it 4-5 weeks on the time! It survived one restring thus far and I hope it survives extra as I’ve put BG66U string in it at 26bs stress.
I’ve by no means checked out Victor racquets because the names confuse me and inventory is troublesome to seek out. However the Bravesword has a whole lot of followers right here.
