Agreed about the racket balance. I smash harder, more continous and much easier, with even balance rackets than HH ones. Great explanation as always. Terima Kasih.
Hi CK, wonderful job you’re doing here helping people like us understand these nuances. Thank you!! I’m a beginner but I love using power, I think I’m pretty strong but I don’t want to injure my elbow which often people tell happens when you use head heavy racquet. I do injure my elbow in tennis often when I keep serving hard for long durations. I also love cross court drops. I mark your words that power can be generated from any racquet but a little extra ooomph factor gives that extra happy feel. Lol. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.
I am a singles player. I am an intermediate level player and have good footwork. I love attacking in singles, so I am looking for an attacking racket which is not only for attacking but also can be used for drives and defense. I have heard that the Astrox 77 is the best racket for my category which is not too expensive and performs well
Hellooo, I think it all comes down to your personal preference. Do you prefer more head weight or less head heavy rackets as all rackets can be attacking 😬. Astrox 77 does lean it slightly towards the head heavy side but also not too stiff so pretty user friendly really. Have you tried any rackets so far?
@@CKYew I like head heavy rackets, but not too head heavy rackets. I have the voltric ld 100, pretty old racket. And how does the Astrox 77 compare to the Astrox 69, Astrox 55 and the Astrox 66?
@@nihalsameer6417 The Astrox 77 would be the heaviest compared to 55 and 66. I've not tried the 69 so you'll have to try that. You could probably try some models of the 88? I've recently reviewed the second-generation Astrox 88S and D as well as the new 88S and D Pro models. They're certainly head heavier than the 77.
Hey CK! Wonderful video explaining the different factors to consider. As a high-beginner/low-intermediate, which racket would you recommend me to go for? I don't have a lot of muscular strength but my technique is decent. I have had a Yonex Voltric 7 DG (3U) for the last few years and am looking for an upgrade, potentially a racket in the 4U category. I don't think I can make the most out of very stiff rackets like the Astrox 100ZZ. I want a racket that can help me boost my accuracy and defense, while also generating a bit of extra power. I don't really have a tight budget. Any recommendations? Thank you!
Helloooo, I found the 4U version of the Astrox 88S Pro very easy to play with so perhaps give that a try? Otherwise, my personal fav is the Astrox 88D Pro. The Arcsaber 7 or 11 Pro might be good shouts too! Good luck
Hello, i have a question. Is it a good or bad idea to sanding down the grip to reduce the size of the grip? Please response, i've been contemplate to do it this past few days.
I mean if you can avoid it then don’t sand it but if you have to then it should be fine. I would ask ways advise getting the smallest grip size you can as you can always make it bigger.
Hi CK. I am a slightly strong power player, who usually plays doubles with my wife. Have been using a Duora 10 3u5 for a few years. But with the RSI on my elbow getting worse, I start to go a little easy with the power and do more drop shots. I don't run fast so I need more control to position my returns. Is there a Yonex racket that you would recommend to suit my change of playing style? And what about the Duora 10 lt or 88D 4u? Thanks.
I would actually recommend super user friendly rackets such as the Nanoflare 800 or the Astrox 88S Pro. They amazing with big sweet spots too. On the other hand, maybe invest in coaching to improve your gripping and timing or perhaps work on rehab or strengthening? New rackets won't make old injuries go away unfortunately :(
@@CKYew Thanks very much CK. I will find a 88S to give it a try. Used to play with a head light Nanoray 900 but I hardly touch it these days after getting the Duora 10. Unfortunately, my age seems to be catching up on me too. :(
Spotted this comment and thought I'd jump in to ask what the main issue with elbow is? Is it actually RSI or is it more tennis elbow? If so, it's probably your grip, would recommend a slightly larger grip on the racket and then massage the forearm muscles after every session. Also are you using a head heavy racket? Head heavy rackets increase risk of tennis elbow and shoulder issues.

Hi CK, I'm using Astrox 88s pro for a while and I wanna upgrade my sword. ATM, 88s pro makes me feel so comfy when I defence and drive. However, whenever I do a smash, I feel that it doesn't generate enough power as I expected. Do you have any recommendation? Im considering between Arcsaber 11 pro and astrox 88d pro. What do you think? Thanks in advance ^^
I currently use the z force 2 and have done for probably 4 years now, always strung around 26lbs with bg80, i play doubles. I love the racket as it performs really well with my smashes and clears. I feel like i need a bit of a change as i could be faster with my defence at the net, is there a racket you would recommend that is not too dissimilar from the zf2 but also performs well at the front of the court?
I played with the zf2 for years and they have an amazing distinct solid feel when you catch your shots right. I think the 100zz and 88d pro are on par if not better with the power but certainly are faster than the zf2 so certainly try both of them 👍🏼
Hello m8 could you recommend any good racket easy to play . Looking for spare racket . Currently using 100zz but want to try something different maybe with less stiffness. Mainly play doubles and was thinking about 88D tour play or game , maybe 77 or any other good options ?
What specific rackets would you recommend to a beginner that doesn't really know what their preferences are? All I know is that I'm looking for a midrange racket (Yonex preferred, but open to other options) that's under 130 USD. I was thinking of getting an even balanced racket but I'm not sure.
Really good question and I hope the video has helped you. The key thing now is to establish a baseline for racket feel before you make a purchase decision. If you can try a few rackets out and compare how they feel, that’ll be extremely useful for you 👍 Yonex Arcsabers are even balanced - if you can still find them of course, otherwise, Duora are also pretty even balanced. Check out my other video explaining Yonex badminton racket series for more details 👍
nanoflare lite 29is, its a headlight easy to use racket for a relatively cheap price, I'm not too sure about how much it is in USD but its about rm119 in Malaysia which when directly converted into USD its like 30usd. Its made in taiwan so its a mid range racket.
Hi Ck, I've just started playing badminton a few months ago and looking to purchase a new racket. I've been playing with a nanoray 6 that was given to me. I've been looking at the astrox series but not looking to spend more than £50 - £60. I mostly play doubles and love a great smash. Still working on my short game and think I'm okay with a medium flex racket. Any suggestions? As I'm really struggling to choose.
Hey there CK! Was wondering what should I go for my next racket cause currently I'm using Astrox 88D (Game) and I've been trying my hardest to improve my smash through improve racket speed and just maybe that head heavy rackets are not suitable for me but also I'm afraid using head light rackets will result in loss of power. Any advices?
heyy, your racket is fine. I would spend time/resource getting training/coaching to get better to help you with your technique and timing to increase power 👍
Out of the topic man , can you please tell me which color has the medium Flexible in Maxbolt woven tech 90, i need your help since you know most of the racket specs i dotn want to buy a wrong racket
Thanks for a great video. Im a little lost here. Which racket would you recommend for an intermediate player that liked the Yonex Musclepower 23 with standard Yonex string? I want something a little lighter (only a little because i always thought the musclepower 23 was a little bit too heavy but not by much) because im an allround player and i play both double and single. I like the even balance and flexibility from medium to mediumstiff. I looked at rackets that weighted from 82-84, but im not sure if thats gonna work out. I looked at LI-NANG HC1600, HC1200 and the Yonex Arcsaber 11 Play. And do you prefer Ashaway Zymax 68 TX or Yonex BG80 strings?
@@CKYew Thanks for the quick reply :) I went to a nearby shop and bought a Li-Ning Tectonic 7 in the meantime. I didn't thought you would answer comments anymore on this video :-)
Hiii , I can't decide which racket to choose I have a good technique but less power in my arms(I am skinny ).I don't know which racket to choose I have played with astrox 88d pro as well as li ning windstorm, it was okay for me to play with both racket one being shift shaft and other with high flex shaft, I was able to hit powerful smashes and was able to control shuttle very well with both of them but I enjoyed playing with astrox 88d pro coz of its stiff shaft , but it was too head heavy for me to defense in double , now I am thinking should I buy yonex nanoflare 800 coz it has head light with stiff shaft or which racket should I buy , I can afford high-end racket
Hi CK, need your opinion. I consider myself as an all rounder player. I love to rally rather than smash and only smash when needed. I also play net when needed. I was thinking of Astrox 66 or Astrox 100 zz Kurenai. Can you suggest any of those two racquets. Thank you
Hey CK! I am a intermediate player with quite okay footwork and play singles and double.I use a head heavy racket(88d pro) but a lot of days i realised my defence is getting quite worse so i thinking of a even balance that can provide good power for smash and attack,good speed for defence and is easy to use My friend recommended arcsaber 11 pro but i thinking of duora but i still don't know so i was wondering what is your option to this?
hello ck, i'm a natural weak player in terms of generating power. So, with HEAD LIGHT racket and MEDIUM flex and looking at the formula on your website, Does it help to my weakness? as, i'm trying to abuse the speed/velocity of the swing to generate more power?
Hello CK , was wondering have you ever heard of oldschool racket , Muscle Power 100SP , im still using this one since i was a kid. can you comment on this racket ? like maybe how would you think it will perform compare to newest racket these days ? haha... thanks a ton!
@@CKYew before the TK30 I played with a more head heavy and a very stiff racket, as I started to struggle more during matches and training, I decided on a new racket. I wanted a more balanced and fitting racket: One that's less stiff and slightly less head heavy. I did test a number of rackets and this one felt as the most comfortable one. It's slightly less head heavy and it's neutral on the stiff-flexibility scale.
@@JettroTjie Amazing!! You've just literally gone and picked a better fitting and suitable racket for yourself rather than what we think we can handle in our brain!! Well done! Did you find you play a better game or train better now that you use a more forgiving racket?
Could you kindly assist players to choose a racket suitable to their game as well. Singles/doubles/mixed. Power, control, speed etc. Weight vs swing weight. Weight distribution on 12/3/6/9 o'clock position. Differences between Isometric and round frame. 72/76/80 grommets frames. Those are important information as I wouldn't recommend anyone using AX99 for doubles or speed type frames for singles either.
You can pick up 2 rackets of very similar spec but feel completely different. Control/power type rackets have different length on the shaft which effect the distribution of power, ease of changing racket direction and recovery speed. Notice the difference by comparing the shaft of 88S with D. Isometric have bigger sweetspot better for singles. Every player have different swing, long and short. What string should they use. It is good to enter a shop know what weight, grip size, balance point, stiffness and tension you want. For the advanced players we need to be more specific to suit their game.

Im new here..... i like your videos..... Im doubles player can suggest me a head heavy racket in mid range price or less? Except yonex..... like Carlton, flypower, fz forza or victor..... Anyone you like to say..... right now im using flypower tidore......
It’s all down to personal preferences so what works for me might not work for you. The best thing is to try them out and you’ll instantly know if they work for you, or not 😬
well , all this info didn't help at all, only if i buy a yonex( they are more expensif we pay for the name) since you showed us a chart. but about victor? balbola? and others ( black knight here in canada) how can i know if its head heavy? and the xU factor is a rought estinate of the weight, i hate this system, we use to have the weight mentioned on the raquet. I was expecting a graphic with dosens of raquets to compare with . this wold help me choose a raquet better.

hello ck, i'm a natural weak player in terms of generating power. So, with HEAD LIGHT racket and MEDIUM flex and looking at the formula on your website, Does it help to my weakness? as, i'm trying to abuse the speed/velocity of the swing to generate more power?
Something like the Nanoflare 800LT would be good for you 😊
@@CKYew thank you ck
Hello CK , was wondering have you ever heard of oldschool racket , Muscle Power 100SP , im still using this one since i was a kid.
can you comment on this racket ? like maybe how would you think it will perform compare to newest racket these days ? haha... thanks a ton!
Yonex has stopped producing Voltric 70 etune 4U which I love. Which current model would you recommend as a close substitute? Thanks.
I would say Astrox 77 is pretty similar
What racket are you playing with?
Victor TK30
@@JettroTjie Nice!!! What was your main concern when you purchased your TK30?
@@CKYew before the TK30 I played with a more head heavy and a very stiff racket, as I started to struggle more during matches and training, I decided on a new racket. I wanted a more balanced and fitting racket: One that's less stiff and slightly less head heavy. I did test a number of rackets and this one felt as the most comfortable one. It's slightly less head heavy and it's neutral on the stiff-flexibility scale.
@@JettroTjie Amazing!! You've just literally gone and picked a better fitting and suitable racket for yourself rather than what we think we can handle in our brain!! Well done! Did you find you play a better game or train better now that you use a more forgiving racket?
Yonex astrox FB
Bro what bat suitable for Aggressive bigenner
Could you kindly assist players to choose a racket suitable to their game as well. Singles/doubles/mixed. Power, control, speed etc. Weight vs swing weight. Weight distribution on 12/3/6/9 o'clock position.
Differences between Isometric and round frame. 72/76/80 grommets frames.
Those are important information as I wouldn't recommend anyone using AX99 for doubles or speed type frames for singles either.
That’s some in depth discussion on there 😊😊
You can pick up 2 rackets of very similar spec but feel completely different. Control/power type rackets have different length on the shaft which effect the distribution of power, ease of changing racket direction and recovery speed.
Notice the difference by comparing the shaft of 88S with D.
Isometric have bigger sweetspot better for singles.
Every player have different swing, long and short. What string should they use.
It is good to enter a shop know what weight, grip size, balance point, stiffness and tension you want. For the advanced players we need to be more specific to suit their game.
@@albertchui8462 Yep, that's why I do my racket reviews to help players of all skill levels. :)
Keep up the good work 👏
Players need to be informed
@@albertchui8462 Absolutely! Gotta spread more badminton love! You can help me by sharing my videos with your badminton buddies too. :) Thank you for all your support!
Can you review yonex nanoray light 8i lcw edition? I already buy but i don't know about the spec

What is shottol?
Bro, need your suggestion. Ada x Yonex head heavy, flex@hi flex and berat 5U? I feel like this characteristics of racquet suits my play style.
On the top of my head, i dont there's any head heavy exclusive rackets from Yonex that's 5U and flexible at the same time.
HI, I am now using Arcsaber 008T, 3u4G. Im looking a better smashing racket but not too head heavy. Any recommendation of racket where slight head heavier than arcsaber 008t. Thank you

Is there a link to the badminton racket matrix you refer to?
It’s generally available on yonex catalogues or sometimes their websites
Does Yonex voltric z force 2 and Yonex astrox 100 zz are same
nope, quite different indeed. I've done a "most powerful racket" video and i compared them 2 there
I want to buy head heavy racket. Budget 4000 to 6000 .I prefer to buy only yonex batminton rackets .please suggest me
I just cant decide either nanoflare 700 or 800
Have you checked out my review for the 800? That might help.
Hi Ck!, I play quite aggressively and my racket right now is the Voltric 80 (3U) I'm looking for a lightweight,head heavy racket, any suggestions?
My personal fav is the Astrox 88d pro
I am intermediate player i planning to buy between nf 800 or astrox 88d can you tell your opinoin . By the way i am a singles player.

Good luck!! 👍🏼
I used to have VZF2 and it broke. Im thinking of buying a new one but different any recommendations? Btw im intermediate all rounder. Thank you.
There’s plenty of good rackets out there. My current personal fav is the Astrox 88d pro 👍🏼
Please suggest me a racket with
a flexible shaft,head heavy, 4u racket
Yonex or lining (no budget issue).
Arcsaber 7 or 11 pro
Hi ck yew what do you recommend us single racket on yonex?
It’s up to your personal preference 😊 no wrong answers there
Hi CK. Can you recommend a racket for me? I am an intermediate player and have a weak arm. I want to easily score backhand clears and end to end clears.
Nanoflare 1000z if your budget is high, nanoflare 700 if you have a lower budget
I just bought an Arcsaber 11 Pro to upgrade my 88D Play (all recommended by CK!) but thanks I will try one of the rackets you mentioned if I did not like the Arcsaber.
Hey bro.. I need a suggestion..
Which one you think that best racket..
Astrox 100zz / ArcSaber 11 pro ..
They are both great, it depends on what you're looking for
@@CKYew I like to play aggressive.. so please suggest me which one is better for me
Hey ck yew what book do you see in 4.39?
It was a Yonex catalogue 😂
Plzz clear me which one should i choose Astrox 100zz or aeronaut 9000 ? In terms of my power and control gameplay
I have not tried the Aeronaut 9000 so I can't advise on which one feels better.
Hello , is Nanoray Light 18i good for beginner?
Absolutely! Why not? 👍
@@CKYew thank you 👌
😊
Im new here..... i like your videos..... Im doubles player can suggest me a head heavy racket in mid range price or less? Except yonex..... like Carlton, flypower, fz forza or victor..... Anyone you like to say..... right now im using flypower tidore......
It’s all down to personal preferences so what works for me might not work for you. The best thing is to try them out and you’ll instantly know if they work for you, or not 😬
@@CKYew exactly but please just give me right path to buy..... I don't want to waste money.....
can u pls tell me which is better astrox 39 or the apacs z ziggler
Have you tried either?
@@CKYew no
@@maneshpavan5444 so why them 2? 😬
@@CKYew sir because I have only them in mind n hv budget only for those😔
@@maneshpavan5444 they’re both good rackets so there’s nothing to worry about.
Im sometimes bored bc i play with not very good kids and we dont have a court near by
well , all this info didn't help at all, only if i buy a yonex( they are more expensif we pay for the name) since you showed us a chart. but about victor? balbola? and others ( black knight here in canada) how can i know if its head heavy? and the xU factor is a rought estinate of the weight, i hate this system, we use to have the weight mentioned on the raquet. I was expecting a graphic with dosens of raquets to compare with . this wold help me choose a raquet better.
What if your favorite balance racket ? And also your favorite head heavy
Check out what rackets THE PROS are playing with: ruclips.net/video/uAzzjHiUOOs/видео.html
whats a good mid tier budget racket i like even balanced rackets
It all depends on your budget and if you have a brand preference. To be honest, there are plenty of really good mid-range rackets out there!
What if u are advance player but u want to play with flexible racket
Astrox 77 Pro?
Thank u bro
But too expensive bro
Astrox 7 Dg vs 10 Dg?????
