You're welcome!

Victor releases a new racket every other month, it can be quite an exercise to follow! But we'll see if we can get our hands on one!

@ thanks a lot sir, if you do get your hands on one of those please make a review ♥️

We're glad that our videos are helpful! We'd love for you to share our videos with friends and family. Shh.. careful not to share with your opponents!

We'll try our best to get our hands on one!

The 6000 series are hard to come by in Singapore but we'll try! Shhhh spoiler alert - we're currently reviewing the Halbertec 9000.

In our opinion - the Exbolt 68 had the most "bite". It has the coarsest string, and so will hold onto the shuttle longer than thinner/smoother strings. Naturally, the Exbolt 63 is the thinnest and also the smoothest string, so it rates lower for control. Aerobite boost is a mix of control and durability because of its unique mix of a thin/smooth string Aerosonic String, paired with a thicker/coarser high-intensity nylon multifilament core with a Vectran super fiber and a polyurethane coated string. We're not fans of the aerobite boost because the thinner Aerobite cross strings will most definitely snap quicker than the main strings, PLUS the thinner string will constantly be cutting the main strings, resulting in an easy snap.

@ thanks for the reply…i am an intermediate recreational player…i think i will go with the Exbolt 68, hoping to get a good balance of power and control

We'll do our best! Thanks for your suggestion :)

Hahaha why not right!

I was using the Yonex Nanoflare Nextage in 4U. Shoes are the Yonex Eclipsion Z3, in the new white/gold colourway!

The Mizuno Wave Claw 3 has a wider toe box and slimmer overall profile - think Yonex Aerus (lightweight and fast) but with a wider toe box. It is doesn't have the carbon plating that the Eclipsion Z3 or 65Z3 have, so it is also cheaper. The Yonex Eclipsion will feel more stable and hug the feet better - albeit being a lot heavier. The 65Z3 is a good all-rounder, but we often found the soles wearing out quicker, and its a bit of a "jack of all trades, master of none" pair of shoes. Verdict: choose the Mizuno WC3 if you're on a budget, but want a high performing shoes thats quick and suits regular-to-wide feet.

@ ohh okay, thanks!!

​@@MoreThanASwing Which pair will be more durable between the eclipsion z3 and the wave claw 3? I'm very confused between these two pairs.

Between the 2, the Thruster Ryuga M comes in head-heavier (31.6cm) compared to the Astrox 99 Pro (30.5cm). Of course, there are other factors at play - overall racket length, % of frame recessed (a more aerodynamic racket will feel switfter). A 3U 99P must feel like a sledgehammer!!

@@MoreThanASwing 3U does feel weighted but it's not stiff like a ZF2. The 99p have a bit of flex so it's not so bad. Good for long rally and to cut angles with power.

The Nextage definitely comes with more features and technologies than a play racket. We would say the Nextage comes closer to a Tour model. The key difference is Nextage rackets are more user-friendly as compared to the Pro/Tour models. Nextage rackets typically have a medium flex, offering a softer feel, whereas Tour models are stiffer, providing more power.

There is no right or wrong answers with tension - there are equal pros and cons for going higher or lower. The most important thing is to choose a tension that best fits your playstyle. Going higher will demand a lot more from you - which sometimes can be a bad thing (Snaps easily. I also strained my shoulder once when I played with a high tension racket). So it really depends, but go with your gut feel!

A good rule of thumb: Beginners: Under 24lbs Club/Social players: 25-26lbs Advanced/Athletes: 28 and above

I think the Wave Claw has more cushion than the Neo... I feel more protected and supported with the Claw. but the Neo feels more lean and quick.

@@MoreThanASwing Thank you replying! Last couple of questions 😅Is the claw 3 pair that you have 3E? And would you say it has a wider fit in the forefoot compared to the 65z's? My feet felt tight around the forefoot of the 65z's so I'm confused on whether to get 3E or 4E

@@amirrahman6921 Just had a look and it doesn't state if it is 3E or 4E. Instead - there is a "Wide" sticker on the shoebox, so I'm inclined to believe it is a 4E version! And you are right, the 65Z3s are narrower around the forefoot. Alternatively - if you are thinking of sticking to the 65Z series - they offer them in 'Wide' versions as well!

@@MoreThanASwing Oh no, that's very confusing. In Japan it seems like Wide is 4E (on Mizuno's japan website) but the shoes sold in Taiwan have a Wide sticker with a picture with a blue foot - which are 3E 🙃. Is there anyway you'd be able to confirm if your shoes are 4E?

I've got a feeling that your colour way doesn't exist in a 4E and that the blue foot refers to 3E

Hey, thank you for your suggestion, we will consider these for our future videos. :)

25mainx27cross Or 26main28cross

The term suitable might be subjective and difficult to define. The string can definitely withstand the high tension. However, at higher tension, it will be more prone to snapping.

@ i’m mainly worried about the string cutting into the racket (through the grommets).. will that be an issue? I don’t mind about snapping

Thank you!

We're glad you enjoyed it! We listen to you guys :)

That depends... haha. I was using nanoflare nextage in the court. and in the studio, i was using a Maxx racket. :)

@@MoreThanASwing got it! I'm also using Nanoflare Nextage and I love how it's so well-balanced.

At the net, it helps to be ready by having your racket up and ready to take the shot. At the net and towards the front, speed is key - so you want to take quick shots to force an error, instead of pulling back and executing a full swing. While powerful, a full swing takes more time, and you might not be able to take the shot while the shuttle is at its highest position.

We're taking your feedback on board, Miguel! We'll try to balance it out - as we're also mindful not to make it draggy. The most ideal way for stroke correction might be to find a coach like MTAS academy!

yeaaaaaaaaaa

You are not alone, @chanvnk! Its part and parcel of the learning process. We'd recommend practice, or training with a coach to help you progress effectively!

Wise choice Veejay!

Hey! Thanks for the recommendation - we haven't had the opportunity to get our hands on one yet. We'll try!

Thank you for the suggestion. We have a couple of product reviews lined up. hopefully Felet can send us the racket. :)

In terms of the balance, it can be pretty similar. But the key difference can be noticed from the feeling when the racket makes contact with the shuttle. Nextage feels a little more "hollow".

hey, i have a wider feet too. and mizuno fits me really well. what works for me may not work for you. but i always use "cm" or "japan" size with Mizuno. it always, always work. hope you find the right size!

yep. :)))

Yeah. Mine broke really easily as well. Never had a racket that fragile. Hit my calf with it and that was enough to snap the frame... Like my fatty calf wtf.

oh no. :,( i'll be careful about it.

actually, i measure it with strings on and with grip on. but i try my best to keep it consistent. tbh, you can easily change the balance point of the racket by changing the way you tie your grip.

@MoreThanASwing ahh i see, probably because of my thicker grips, my measurement are always abit off.

@@iodineclip You are definitely right, it does affect measurements. But it is also a neat trick at times! If a racket feels too head heavy, adding an additional overgrip does help with balancing out the head-heaviness. We love to experiment and find out what works best for our playstyles!

wdym?

:)))

There's not enough data here for me to make an accurate assessment. but here's one hypothesis. The NF1000z has quite a small sweetspot. perhaps it took time for you to get used to it. and once you got used to it, your estimation got better. to test this theory. try staying with feather shuttlecock for a month.

@MoreThanASwing Thank you so much Joel, much appreciated, will try your suggestion and see how it goes.

@@soundzgood6775 You are most welcome!

in this video, i was using the Mizuno JPX Reserve Edition. cool right?

wow. thats... a mouthful. watch out for our upcoming video. i will be covering dropshot soon. is that what you were referring to?

interesting suggestion. yes, we will queue that. :)

that depends on the region you are from and whats available to you actually. most shuttles come from the same few factories actually. so where are you from?

​@@MoreThanASwing​sorry for hijacking this thread a bit. I'm also a little curious. I'm from the Philippines (which is in the southeast asia). Would you have some recommendations for good shuttlecocks that offer a good balance between price and durability? In terms of skill level of playing group, our group consists of beginner - lower intermediate players.

@@MoreThanASwinglike what shuttles?

Culturally, we are only in the beginning stages of this shift. the shift to pay attention to the being more than the doing. Its a good start but a long way to go.
