Sold my Yonex Astrox 88D pro last week. Tried it for two years and it just wasn't for me. I found a perfect racket Yonex Arc Saber 11 Pro 3UG5 version. It's only been a week, but it feels perfect on my hands so far. Maybe I'd like to try Nanoflare 1000z in the future.
i too had the astrox88d pro, but my elbow and shoulders used to ache a lot after a few games and i felt the racket was kind of slow as i play 70% dohubles and 30% singles. planning to buy a new racket and was eyeing the arcsaber 11 pro, how do you feel it is when compared with the 88d pro, or maybe should i go with the new gen 88d pro
@@azurezzz maybe I didn't phrase it correctly. What I meant to say is, I played it with for 1-2 month but just couldn't get used to it. I didnt sell it but kept this racket for two years, which kinda stupid. At the end I trade it plus some cash for new Arcsaber 11 pro 3U version. I think the main reason I just get used to it due to being a 4U racket. Most of my previous rackets were 3U. I mostly play double backcourt and love to smash. I just couldn't get the same feeling using 4U racket no matter how hard I tried. 😅
I have all high end astrox, arcsaber 11 pro and all high end nanoflares. From all that, nanoflare 1000z officially is my 1st favourite. It feels so right and on point in my hand. 2nd will be astrox 99 pro and 3rd astrox 100zz. My racket are all 4Us.
@@KerisssJ 77 Pro is my 4th favorite, but on some weird days, it can become my 2nd or even 1st choice. At a recent small tournament, none of my top 3 favorites felt right. So, I picked and used the 77 Pro throughout the entire tournament, ended up in 2nd place.
astrox 99 pro is lightweight? astrox 99 pro vs arcsaber 11 pro.. what is the best? anyway im not totally smasher..im a defensive player and a little bit smash obcourse.. thats why i want lightweight racket what do you prefer? tia😊
@@charlsjourney4480 Nah, the Astrox series is head-heavy, focusing on powerful smashes, while the Nanoflare series has a lighter head, emphasizing quick swings. I love the Nanoflare 1000Z because it's incredibly fast for both attacking and defending. While it can't match the Astrox for powerful smashes, I'm okay with sacrificing a bit of power for a faster swing. In fact, if you get it right, the Nanoflare 1000Z can also produce very quick smashes. The Arcsaber 11 Pro is an all-around racket. In my hands, it feels like a blend between the Astrox and Nanoflare series, but with less power than the Astrox and less speed than the Nanoflare. I hope that makes sense. But that is my personal preference. If you prefer fast swings, go for the Nanoflare 1000Z.
The moment I made my first shot with the Nanoflare 1000Z, I knew it was the one. I bought two, but both broke within six months due to clashes. As much as I love the Nanoflare 1000Z, it is indeed the most fragile racket among Yonex's high-end models
