Hi Dr. Yew, is Tour version suitable to doubles play? Not sure how different is 99 Tour compared to 88D Tour?
All rackets are suitable for doubles play! I would say the Tour rackets are all quite close to each other!
I still play with my 88d pro..and i feel comfort..how is this 99pro vs 88d pro..is the 99pro is a lot more headheavy and need more power for the drives?😊😉thanks
@@BROdingView Yes, I certainly feel the 99 Pro is more head heavy than the 88D Pro.
Could you do a similar one comparing all the Game versions - Astrox 100, 99, 88D, 88S
I was just about to sleep thinking about this video, uploaded just in time. 😀
There must be something wrong with RUclips as it's scheduled for release in a few hours but glad you enjoyed it!
Hello from Milton Keynes...seriously THE best badminton racket review on RUclips by far. Keep up the good work.
Helloooooooo ✌️✌️✌️
Just got my 99 play today😄 bcoz of ur review😍
Great 👍!! I'm sure you'll love it!!
Oh my god you are the best, Im buying one of these three this Saturday and no reviews yet. You dropped like a bomb. Best badm reviewer eva ^^
Always happy to help 👍🏼
Was waiting for this review. Apparently the Tour models for 88, 100, 99 won't be available in India. So will go for 88D pro as it's heavily discounted now ( around 45% here). In the description you have mentioned Lee Zii Jia was using 99 pro(Cherry Sunburst) which is a good observation. I also saw Kento Momota using unreleased Powercushion 65 Z ( maybe Z3) shoes.
Omg go for the 88D Pro if it’s heavily discounted! And yes the Z3 is delayed due to export/covid delays from the country of manufacture.
Hi Praveen can you let me know where I can buy 88D pro ?
@@nelsonthambiraj not sure why my responses got removed. 😅Replied twice
@@nelsonthambiraj This is the REAL question here 🤣
thanks CK, this is an absolute honest and great review!

@@CKYew Just realized that CK from Malaysia. I always thought you are appearances just like Singaporean / Malaysian with British accent. Lmao…Wow…Didn’t know we have something in common as a polyglot ! Cheers !
😂 where did you think I was from before? 😂😂
@@CKYew You definitely look like Singaporean for sure. Hahaha
@@CKYew HK 🤣 You don't have the Malaysian accent to warrant a Malaysian call 🤣
Decided to buy the Astrox 99 Play with the Aerobite boost at 25lbs . Thanks for this one!
Glad you found it useful!
I love the in depth reviews, keep them up
More coming soon 😘
Thanks CK. I am from Myanmar.I played badminton back in around 1995, with Carbonex 8, one of the best rackets back then. Since then I haven't played for 2 and half decades. Played a few time back in 2017 in NZ. Now, I start playing again, mostly for health benefits. I bought two base model, 99 play and 88D play from Thailand, cost around $100 for 2. I am very pleased for what I paid for and what I get. And thanks for the reviews, it helps me to get the right one. Cheers!
Aww that’s amazing news!!! Glad you’re enjoying badminton again! 😊😊
Tnx so much for the review quality content as always love your comparisons as they are so helpful
Glad you found them helpful 😊
Another great video from CK!
Yayyyyyyyyy!! Do share it with your badminton friends too!
@@CKYew Good thing should be share👍
@@muhammadsyukri5006 Yayyyyy!
Most interesting and informative video
Hi CK, I just see this video, and it is awesome. You are my fav Badminton racket Reviewers.
But after watching this, now I'm confused. I'm an intermediate player who play badminton 2x a week. I love to play double, and I'm more advantageous on the back court with smashes or drop shots. I'm planning to buy Astrox99 next week, with budget up to tour model.
I feel like Play model is kinda cheaper one, will it affect my Smash & power game play?
I was planning to buy Game / Tour but after watching this, I got more confused 😅
Between Game / Tour, which one should I choose? And between the one chosen vs Play which one is better?
I don't mind buying tour model if it is truly better value wise.
Although I never owned or play any "pro" model before, I don't know whether it is too stiff or not for me 😅
I am just going to say, do a blind test for yourself and see which one you perform the best for the longest time with. I ordered all four in cherry colour, 4UG5 and put on my standard setup on them all (24/26lbs bg80 and overgrip on top of plastic wrapping). With each one I played at least one set in singles and doubles.
My final choice was the GAME. It has for me the best medium flexibility for my game and the head heaviness is just right.
The Pro was just way too stiff for me that I couldn't consistently for the entire match generate the power to make long and high clears under pressure (normal clears are fine of course).
To me the Tour and Play were similar to the Pro, that means for me not playable at all.
I then ordered 3 more of the GAME in cherry colour and did the same setup. I notice a 1-2mm difference in balance point. But in play it's not noticeable.
Btw I usually play with NF170Light (with total 2g lead tape at 10&2), Arc11 (red/blue) and Astrox 77 (black/hot pink). This AX99Game is a little more powerful than my AX77 and more solid. And for me this is the max I could go with head heaviness. Anything more won't improve my on court performance.
And of course the Pro, Tour and Play were favoures by other club players. All different strengths and playing style. Blind test is important.
Send me 1
Whats the balance point on this? 300mm?
Best badminton racket reviewer ever 🥰
yayyyyyyyyyyy 😊
Thanks for making the video. Very helpful, I'm going to buy Game
Good choice!
Can u do a more indept review of badminton strings?? maybe make a vid on versusing the similar series line up of badminton strings, like doing a vid of BG 66 Ultimax vs BG 66 Force or Nanogy 98 vs Nanogy 98, i think it will be a great content for the channel. Amazing vidss as alwayss keep it up 👍👍👍
Nice, but disappointed you did not show us your reviewed relative positions of these rackets on Yonex's Astrox rackets chart. 😥
Finally you posted the video... Can the next video be astrox 100 ( tour/game) vs astrox 99 ( tour/game/play ) and astrox 88D and 88S ( tour/game)
Yup pls
I’ve done all the 100 and 88 series Pro, Tour, Game rackets so check them out on my channel 👍🏼
Buying a Play model then! tried the game model and was confused that it is light headed compared to the Arc 11 game. Good thing you described specs spot on.
There is no arc11 game
Hello, how do these four racquets relate to the original Astrox 99? Is it equivalent to the Tour or Pro? Thanks
Hell yeah i go with 99 play series,superb 👍👍
Niceeee!
Please reply me bro I just got astrox 99 pro and hands on its actually a masterpiece 🎉. I agree all the facts in video but it mentions maximum string tension 28lbs on website and shaft but I being professional prefer 32lbs😢. So can I actually use 32lbs I astrox 99 pro cuz it exceeds the advised ,and my mates also suggested not to do since momota is sponsored so he gets personalised ones to hold that high tension ,,...
Since it's a flagship racket , what do you say can it hold 32lbs or not🙏🥲❓️❓️
Please advise me man , I trust you as an old subscriber❤
Awesome review, on point!
Glad you liked it!
Hope that you can put them all on the yonex racquet matrix. Does the 99 game comes with the power assist bumper? Is 99 game more head heavy than 88D pro? I have got the 88D game but it's way less head heavy than 88D pro.
All the 99s have the power assist bumper. And nope, the 99 game isn’t more head heavy than the 88D Pro. The drop of head weight from the 99 Pro to 99 Game is similar from the 88D Pro to 88D Game.
Thanks for all your detailed reviews. I have the 88D pro and love it. I've the Astrox 99 which is a sledgehammer as you mentioned. I'm looking for a cheaper racket as a backup and thinking if the 100 Game or the 99 Play after watching your review, what's your thoughts? I'm playing doubles and I like smashes and tight net shots.
I think you should get a backup 88D Pro since you loved it that much.
@@CKYew whats ur take between 100 game vs 99 play?
I have been using the play version strung with bg66 ultrimax and 30lbs .. quite good and nice feeling when using it ..
cant wait to see how you guys try again for the play racket
Always trying new rackets! 😂
@@CKYew feel like getting the Astrox 99 Play, not sure whether its too heavy or light, i use best currently is Astrox 77 as i cant use too head heavy rackets
@@sarahchristopher The Play certainly are good value rackets!
@@CKYew thank you!
Always happy to help 👍🏼
Great review bro, iam looking review with Indonesian language but fortunately i found this 👍👍
Bahasa Indonesia boleh juga! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😂
Just bought the 99 Game White Tiger. I have strung it with BG80 Power at 28lbs.
How's it i wanted to buy?
@venkateshsrinivasan4063 please tell
Thanks, it's very informative
Glad it was helpful!
Wait I didn't knew the 99 Game also comes with an energy boost cap, I thought only the 99 Tour and the 99 Pro comes with it
now i will definitely buy play version.
Hi ck another awesome review. I just have some questions. Which model between tour, game, and play do you prefer?
I don't know what to buy.
Always try and go for the best one with the budget you have
@@CKYew I'll try the play one. But may I ask what string were you using when you strung the astrox 99 play cherry sunburst? Or what string would you recommend. Thank you. New subscriber here 😊
@@Cire_2009its aerobite
Been searching for a new racket since im going to start playing again. I think the 99 play is the perfect one.
I think the habdling on the pro and tour is too much for someone just back after years of hiatus. Great videos. Awesome channel.
Good luck!
Wise decision ... unlike me who didn't exercise my arms for 3 years, but came straight back to badminton on my stiff Yonex Isometric 300 SP racket, resulting in tennis elbow! Bought another Hi-Flex racket instead.
How big is the difference between the tour and game? since it's made in the same country, i dunno which model should i get
already buy?
The 99 Tour has an energy boost cap while the 99 Game doesn't, and the 99 Game is good for intermediate players while the 99 Tour is for advanced players
@@張風-j5s i bought the tour version and i can tell you, you won't regret getting the tour version instead of the game version
@@hisyamalghi6632 May i ask do you have the red or the white version?
Hi CK I love your reviews. Can you tell mr which one is heavier? 88d play or 99 play? And which one do you prefer?
99 Play has a heavier head. I've done a comparison video comparing Play rackets
Ck did not elaborate on the Shaft Stifness something that is very important 😢. As a long time z force ii user i prefer stiffer rackets but if the tour & game is just slightly less stiff it would be perfect for me
great vid. 99 or 100. why do you think one should get the 99 instead of 100 or vice versa?
They're all good! all down to your personal preference
So, The Astrox 99 play has a better feel than the tour and game? Is it for all the players or does the feel depend on the person? Thinking on getting the game instead of the play
Hi ck good content im planning to buy a racket and im choosing between these two racket victor hawk tk or astrox 99 play can you please recommend or give me some suggestion im agile person who lacks power
was worth waiting
Niceeeeeeee 👍🏼👍🏼
Seriously
Thanks for the support!
Great review of the Astrox 99 series! Would you recommend 88d game or 99 play? I am a beginner/intermediate player. I play doubles and like smashing and playing from rear courts. The double games speed is slow though as all of the players are like me (beginners /intermediate). Even though it is double, It is probably slower than an intermediate singles game :-)
Both would work really well eitherway!
Hey CK i'm using the 99 play and it feels so good.. great choice on an entry level racket.. thx for your review n advise..
Glad you're enjoying it!!!
@@CKYew Hey CK what string do u suggest for me to use, i just bought the 99 play and i need your divine guidance :
My personal fav is the Aerobite 👍🏼
Would it be good to recommend rackets by player categories? Like beginner, intermediate, advanced and professional? I saw many recommended professional level or rich player rackets. Maybe I am in the small group audience, not financially strong but slightly better than average badminton lovers.
very comprehensive review.. i honestly wouldve written off the Game and Play and was only considering the Pro or Tour but I'm really curious about the Play now! Keep up the good work! 'Liked' & 'Subscribed.'
Yep! It’s amazing performance for the cost for the Play!
What is the playing performance of astrox 99 tour ??
Hi, in your personal opinion, which one you prefer between 99play and 88d game in terms of performance? Which one is heavier and better for smash and control etc..?
the Game models are in a higher price range hence uses slightly better materials so will have an advantage. In saying that, the Play models are amazing good value rackets too!
Would your recommended stringing the play" exactly at 28lbs? or maybe above 28lbs? also , how much did you string the play" racket in this video ??
I strung the test racket at 27x29lbs but i wouldn't go any higher than that.
@@CKYew ok bro 👍🏽👍🏽 thank you !!
Good luck!
@@CKYew why not higher than 29lbs, need explanation please before buying this racket
@@pradika3218 Because it might not last very long and break?
after i saw ur review on these 3 astrox 99, i think i'll go for the PLAY for some reasons. it's cheap and u said its your favorite among those 3 hahhha and i'm not a pro player, i'm just an average player anyway.. my question is about the stringing. should i go for nanogy 99 and how much lbs ? or should i go for aerobite and how much lbs should it be ? looking forward for the answer
thankyou
The play is incredible value for money! Just string the racket at your usual tensions and it’ll play well 👍🏼
Great review. Which one would you recommend for an intermediate player who plays both singles and doubles?
They're all good, so its all down to your budget really.
@@CKYew sorry I meant across all series of Yonex rackets. I am more confused between astrox 99 play and astrox 88d
@@CKYew thank you for your reply!
Hi! Loved the video, and your set! Looks amazing! Have you tried the 88D Play? Is it as impressive as the 99 Play in terms of value? Thanks!
Hellooo, thanks for the support! I've not tried any other Play rackets except the 99 atm.
Hi. Could we have a short review on Astrox 88s Play, please. I bought one, not sure if it is worth while.
What did you not like about it?
You are the best 😍
You too!
Hello, you say that the AX99 tour is headlighter than the pro but compare to your AX88D pro he’s still more headheavier ou it’s close ???
Thank you
Hey CK! Can you please review Astrox 77 Pro and it's comparison as well :)
Hi! I really love your review video! The comparison is detail enough. But i wanna ask something that maybe i missed . Which one is better from perspective? 99 Game or 99 Play? Hopefully you want to answer my question. Thank you!
Its entirely up to you. If I had to choose, I'll go with the Play.
Thanks for the amazing review. What do you think of 99 play compare to 88D play?
Very very close but The best Play for me is the Arcsaber 11 Play 👍🏼
i have 88s game right now, i think i want a slightly more head heavy racket, so i was gonna get a 88d game, but would 99 play be a better racket? i think a very useful thing is for every racket review, u can put up ur own opinion of where the racket lands in the head heavy vs head light x-y axis compared to some similar and popular rackets
Hi CK yew, great video as always.
Does the astrox 99 pro have the dual optimum system?
No. It’s a mistake on Yonex.com. Good spot though 👍
Which one would be better Astrox 9100 Tour or Astrox 99 game or tour?
The U.K. doesn’t have the 9100 so I’ve not tried that before
Hi, Mr. Yew
Am a bit intrigued by the mention of AX99T being slightly more hollow, wonder if the feedback on the hand are more muted compared to AX99P or simply the head weight. Especially since I'd like to avoid the likes of my former VT80E or ZF2, age has been catching up to me smh, and can't even handle something without an internal foam (aka solid feel core) 🤦♀️
Thx in advance 🙏
The Tour doesn't produce any bad vibrations. It just has a different feel which is slightly more hollow compared to the Pro version.
I like the 99 charry sunburst! Can you check out the duora series?
Cherry sunburst is certainly nice!
Hi CK, great review as usual 🙂. How would you compare 99 tour with 88s pro in terms of speed, head weight and sweet spot?
Hi Josef, the 88S Pro is better at all 3! Faster, head heavier and bigger sweet spot too!
@@CKYew thank you. Your reply on speed and sweetspot was expected, but head heaviness surprised me. Thanks anyway
How you set up your racket grips affect the head heaviness of a racket. 👍🏼
@@CKYew You are right. I always put an overgrip on top of standard grip. This increases the weight of the racket but decreases the balance point.
@@josefbriza1391 Yep! Gotta always keep testing out what works. :)
Hi CK Yew, I'm using astrox 100zx at the moment, & I wonder how would the 99 tour compare to my current 100zx in your opinion. I'm an all around player who loves to smash
I find the 100ZX quite sluggish and remember the 99 Tour was a head lighter than the 99 Pro. But I’ve never compared the 99 Tour to 100ZX side by side before so I can’t give you definite opinion.
@@CKYew thanks for replying, how about the 100zz compared to 99pro? Can you do a video comparing those 2 racquets or maybe a video comparing 88d pro, 88s pro, 99 pro & 100zz altogether
I like to smash everytime i can get a chance i play both doubles and singles but liking singles more. I use a headheavy flex racket and iam pretty much confident with my arms. Cant choose between astrox 1 dg and astrox 99 play what can you suggest?
Hi,
Between 88d ge and 100 game which one is more powerful full. Which one is good for double both front and back. Both 4u model.
Kindly help me to buy new racket
Both are very very close. Decent power whilst being very easy to play with. The 100 might just slightly more head heavy compared to the 88 models, but only slightly!
What tension do you used in playing the 99play? And what tension do you recommend? Great job btw!!!
Around 27lbs. There's no specific tension, whatever works best for you will be great! if you have no set tension, maybe try 23 or 24?
Hi CK,
Really enjoyed your review
can you also do a review on the Yonex Astrox 88D Play Model?
would love your opinion on that
Cheers
Thats in the plan! 👍
Which one is best overall racket astrox 99 pro or the nanoflare 800....
They are different but which one will be the best overall racket...
If you like headlight rackets, then the NF800 will be perfect for you.
I'm an intermediate player and I'm confused between astrox 99 game and astrox nextage. Please help me choose one.
Hi CK, do you think the difference between the 100 game and 99 play is worth it for an additional RM150 or 26 GBP in your case.
It depends on you really. I was impressed with the quality of production throughout the whole series so I'd recommend you go into a store to look at them. 😊
Hi CK,
Back again with another question!
My friend bought 99 play racket and is now enjoying the racket. He is an intermediate player.
However, he asked if he should be upgrading from the 99 play to 99 pro?
Is it worth the upgrade? Or if 99 play is sufficient for him?
Understand the pro is much smoother than the play. But is the 99 pro worth that hefty price tag?
It’s down to your personal preference. Better materials and production technique = better feel and performance so it’s always down to how much you’re willing to spend on it 😊😊
Astrox 99 game vs astrox 100 game which is best??
I am currently using bg66 titanium / bg80 power string for 99 game model. Which one would u suggest would suit best.
I want to buy the low end version of the 99 series. according to the tests you have done, which is better between the PLAY model and the GAME model?
Game is obviously the higher end model compared to Play but both are very good value rackets!
Bro pls reply.....fan from india. Please help me choose between 88s vs 99 pro and tour.
Hello. Good video! I currently use the 4u Astrox 99LCW with 27lbs Bg66um/exboly 63(these two strings are used and changed every stringing). Do you think I should also use these strings on the 99 pro or would you suggest other strings and tension?
Absolutely! You should always have your fav strings on your rackets!
Thanks!
hi Ck amazing video...ur the best reviewer ever... i really m confused between astrox 99 game and 100 game... im looking for a racket which has a very good swing which makes you feel mesmerised and has controlled power... like i should be able to place the shuttle precisely and the repulsion power should be excellent. i am an all court player. smashes should be strong and steep as well... i am an all round player and i want the feeling of racket to be light weight but should have all the above mentioned... the power of racket should reliable on and i should not rely on my arm strenght and m looking for effortless gameplay with all above mentioned. please let me know fast in these 2 which one i should go for... fast pls as discount is thr
The 99 is head heavier than the 100 so maybe go with the 100?
I bought the windstorm 78 plus.... What do you think abt it compared to ax 99 and 100??... And I want all characteristics above....which strings do I put on the windstorm 78 plus so that it will meet all above requirements...??
Hi,i am form thailand. Which rackets which you like the most between 99pro and 88d pro,and which one have more fun when smashed?
I play with the 88D Pro so you know my answer there 🤣
Hi Dr. Yew, talk about Power Assist Bumper, does it require replacement and how often? Would this be additional cost during stringing, as it is not ordinary item like grommet.
Good question, I've not had any news from Yonex about this but I'd expect for them to provide replacement power assist bumper for purchase when they need replacing.
Yeah finally, ma man 👍🏻
can you post more often?
🙌🙌 It will help if you share my videos with your badminton buddies 👍🏼👍🏼
Hey CK! I don't really get it why people who tested the play one, felt like it was slightly more head heavy than the tour and pro, while the tour and pro are definitely heavier to play with. Is there any chance you could help me pick between play and tour for example, knowing that my primary avantage are my smashes in which I can put great power to win rallies
If budget isn’t an issue then the higher end models are always nicer to play with. Otherwise the play is great value!
Hey CK,,how can i buy original yonex racket through website except Flipkart and Amazon?
Hey bro, I am a big fan of your work
It would be really helpful if you did a comparison between astrox 100zz and astrox 99pro.
Thanks for the support! Have you checked out my 100ZZ and 99 Pro reviews?
@@CKYew yeah the 2 videos were really informative. but it would be nice if you did a side by side comparison
Hi CK Yew! I'm currently considering the Play model but I want your advice before I move forward. I play doubles, above intermediate, slightly advanced. Since injuring my racket hand (de quervain tenosynovitis) in 2017, I changed my game and have adopted a defensive/controlled type of game with a preference for lighter rackets. Would you recommend the Play or do you think I should go for the tour and game?
Out of the 4, the Tour and Game rackets has the lightest racket head so if you're set on the Astrox 99s, the Tour and Game might be better for you. Otherwise, the Play is an amazing value racket to play with. 😊
i just bought astrox 39 and then found out bout this new 39 upgrade..99 play..damm
😂😂 you can always have more rackets 😂
Should I choose Astrox 99 game or Astrox 100 game ?
Hi CK now i using 100 game can i go for 99 game. Basically im a attacking player.
Im sorry if out of topic, but im curious Who is Better to Cop betwen this Astrox 99 PLAY and Astrox TOUR 8500 ? Thanks before
I’ve not tried the 8500 so I can’t tell 😬
@@CKYew hmmm, but the feel of 99 Play is more similiar with The 99 Pro ya?
To an extent, yes. Of course they’re never going to feel the same because of the materials and how they’re made.
For play, aerobite or 66 ultimax you prefer?
Hi, as you mentioned in the video 99 Tour is not as stiff and as head heavy as 99 Pro. How would you compare balance and stiffness of 99 Tour to 88D Pro then? Great video btw., subscribed!
All the Tour rackets feel very differently to the Pro perhaps due to the materials used. The Pros feel much better imo
Im planning to buy a new racket which one is better astrox 99 play or victor thruster hmr
Which one is good among these 3 Yonex astrox 99 play , tour and smash ? Please tell fast I need to decide before buying these racquet
They're all good for players with different budgets 👍
Which one would be better, i am a casual player who plays once or twice a week, the ax39 or 99 play?
Both should be great!
