Started using jetspeed s10 3u after your recommendation still using till this day. Used 100zz hated it started giving me shoulder pains. Victor rackets are better. I like the rayuga 1 better than all the rackets mentioned in this video. Somehow Victor manages to have stiff shafts with whippy flexibility. Where as yonex rackets lack this whip and need upper body strength to generate power

Yes they are a different feel. If you read my review of 100ZZ I did say it has a solid core shaft and there flexes differently. Victor has also had some stiff shafts that were breaking so they were changed.

Out of curiosity I purchased the Astrox 100 Game. I find it too hard on my arm to play with non-stop during a 2-3 hours session. I do get plenty of power from the rear court. Now I rotate between the Arcsaber 7 Pro, Tour, & Play. 😁 The Arcsaber 7 series is much faster. I do get plenty of punch power on drive shots. Smashes from the rear court is not as strong as the Astrox 100 Game but with the Arcsaber 7 I won't get tired on a long rally.

@@TheHi-T is there a reason why you use the lower tiered arc7s? I have the 7 pro and the 100z. I mostly agree with you, I also switch to the 7pro when im already tired bec it's easier to generate power using that racket. It's balanced so it's easier to generate swing speed without being taxing on the arm and shoulders. I believe the flex helps with power generation as well. Aside from that, the 100zz is just a smoother operator when it comes to drives, and the more controlling shots

Would really appreciate your advice. I have the 2nd gen Arcsaber 11 as my preferred racket because i love the control and i clear more consistently with it. I have the original Astrox 88s which i enjoyed playing net with, but can't generate power easily for clears or smashes. I bought the 100zz thinking it would give me more power but i think it's the opposite of what i needed. I find that i mishit the shuttle a lot with. It also feels like I'm hitting the shuttle with a wooden stick so it's not comfortable to play with for long. I've been a fan of An SeYoung for a long time and how effortless she clears from back to back so i was thinking of getting the 77 pro because in terms of flex and head weight i think it's similar but a good evolution from my Arc 11, just with better tech and improved suited. What do you think?

The 100zz is strictly a high risk high reward racket, I think it is significantly harder to play with compared to most other rackets and even the slightest mishits will not do any favors in shot quality. I’ve gotten really used to it and still make many mistakes like mishits and such (mostly due to my incompetence) so I think that the higher skilled and consistent you are, the more you can bring out of the racket.

Im currently thinking of buying a new racket but am deciding between this 2. I like to play singles and doubles but Im unsure of stuff like the head heaviness between the arc11 pro and the 88d pro. Is the power of the 11pro something like a 5/10 compared to the 88D pro being a 9/10? etc 1. Smashing Power: 10 is more power 2. Quick Returns: 10 is quicker, faster returns such as during doubles 3. Head Heaviness: 10 is heaviest 4. Control (Drop shots, net play etc.): 10 being more controllable Thanks!!!
