    Great review, CK. I've always enjoy watching your channel and I recently bought an Astrox 100ZZ after watching this clip. I do not know much about others current Yonex rackets to compare with as my last racket that I used 35 years ago was Carbonex 8. Well here I'm playing badminton again at my semi-retirement age. I must say Astrox 100ZZ is simply awesome!!!

      Hi CK. I'd like to get your opinions on Victor Thruster F Enhanced Edition ( after watching your recent review) and Astrox 100ZZ since you've played with both rackets before. I've been thinking of getting a Victor TFE (3U) as my 2nd racket as I find that the Astrox 100ZZ doesn't seem to give me the extra punch that I needed for my smashes. Does Victor TFE fares better when it comes to smashing?

    @ovtroll1199 3 года назад +14

    100ZZ is a nice all rounded racket. i feel like the 88D pro is similar but different. my opinions on the 88D pro is that its very quick but solid feel power. the 100ZZ is quicker in my opinion and has this whip power but it still feels solid. you get plently of power from 100ZZ yet consistent

    Definitely agree ZF2 came out when I was a teen. 8 years later I’m still struggling using this racket under pressure as I feel like the 3U version slow down my swing speed much more and the stiffness of the shaft makes it so much harder to control.

      Although once in a blue moon, when you hit a power shot with it cleanly, it felt so rewarding. Just crispy & deadly. I've sold mine earlier this year as I put my ego down & admitted that I wasn't in the position to wield such a devastating boom stick.

Love my 100zz to bits, with BG80 power.

    I have all these rackets. Each racket is different, referring to your categories. My experience with these rackets is that ZF2 only offers power games and is very unforgiving in all other aspects. Astrox 99 Pro is a new experiment for Yonex and has a significant grooves problem. Astrox 100ZZ is decent though the structure becomes fragile when strung at a higher tension and a bit deficiency in power. Astrox 88 D pro is for overall games in doubles and offers more to frontcourt players. Please make a video on Lining or Victor rackets if you find anything interesting to brag about it.

    Had you use the 4UG5 Z FORCE II, WOULD WIN ALL CATEGORISE. The problem with it was that the quality of production dropped in latter years. I had 2 of this racket with SP numbers where the top 6 grommets collapsed
    with 28ibs tension, and when I cut it in half, I found that a layer of graphite was missing on the top of the head.
    I kind of wonder if Yonex deliberately was doing this to phase it out!

    Interesting review CK, I only have the Astrox ZZ100 and 88D Pro, both 4U (although I have played briefly with a friend's ZF2 which I found to be way too stiff and head heavy for me, it was like trying to play with a plank of wood). I agree that the 100ZZ has more effective power than the 88D Pro but I also find that the 100ZZ has marginally better handling, it's just such a sweet racket to use. In the flat game, I find the 100ZZ's shorter shaft makes it slightly nimbler and quicker than the 88D Pro. The 100ZZ also has a really nice feel to the racket head when hitting shots and edges out the 88D Pro for me.
    I also have the 88S Pro and I can actually generate more effective power with the 88S Pro than the 88D Pro because it's lighter and quicker which means I can get into position more easily to execute a smash and the lighter head and whippier shaft (at least that's how it feels) allows for greater racket head speed and more effective power most of the time.
    It just goes to show there's more than one way to skin a cat, case in point, Wang Chi Ling generates tremendous power with his smashes with a Nanoflare 700.

    • @CKYew

      Overall, if you have a good physique and power also good strokes and are in higher intermediate going to advanced, then the 100zz would be the racket in which you will get the most out of. 88dp is also very good and meant for higher intermediate too but still can be used by intermediate players. Both these rackets have smaller sweetspots than usual rackets like 77, so be aware of that.

      @@nihalsameer6417 Thank you for the reply. I'm an intermediate+ player with aggressive playing style. I'm currently using Nanoflare 800 which gives me good control for the stiffness and it has decent power. Now I want to switch to a head heavy racket. But the dilemma is Stiffness and solid hitting feel between 88D pro and 100zz. My inclination is towards 100zz but I don't wish to spoil my game because of the stiffness and learning curve that racket has.( That's what I have heard) My priorities are Head heaviness, Larger sweet spot than NF800 , great at back court and singles , Average in front court and does not compromises my current Play. Also in India 88D pro is slightly cheaper than 100zz. What your opinions on this as you have played with both ?

However I found the effective power lacking. (compared to the voltric 70) It is strung currently strung at 26lbs. Perhaps I need to decrease the tension to help offset the stiffness of the racquet.

    Hi CK I love your videos. I just got back into badminton after I stopped playing for many years. I’m using a 2U MusclePower 100 that I bought 20+ years ago. I used to trained daily and play tournaments with this racque so I’m very used to it. Now I’m older and not as active. The 2U MP100 is killing my shoulder lol. I want to upgrade my racquet but I have no idea which one is a proper upgrade to the MP100. I’m play mostly singles. I don’t know if there is one with similar characteristics but lighter in weight. Hoping you could give me some recommendations.

      I wouldn’t consider the duoras to be a completely power oriented series.

    A quick question, what string would you suggest for the 100zz for someone who likes the sounds and speediness of the shot?

  • @alexliu9582

    CK, I believe you string 880D Pro, are you using Yonex 76 grommet pattern, A15 share hole is pretty small, I am not sure if that would be correct pattern to use, thanks in advance any advice.

    • @CKYew
      @CKYew  7 месяцев назад

      On the 2nd gen 88D Pro, the A14 and A16 are shared holes, not A15.

    Hi there, i am currently using NF800, aside from full court clearing I am enjoying the racket. I am thinking of getting another racket, i was wondering if 100zz head heaviness would help with clearing.

    • @CKYew
      @CKYew  2 года назад +1

      The 100ZZ is very different to the NF800. Maybe try the 4U version?
