Malaysian here, just got my 100 Tour 4UG5 based on your review. The 100zz (RM720) and 100 tour (RM460) price differences are insane! Can't wait to test on it!
Hello Sir your reviews are great and the reviews are given after practically testing the rackets on court. Every thing how you feel about the rackets such as smash power, swing feel stiffness, control etc. are mentioned. However, as we all know that a racket depends upon the players. What is light for one player may be heavy for the other. Three things are indispensable to know which racket will suit a player best namely the exact weight, swing weight and balance point. But these most important points are not mentioned in most of your reviews. Therefore, it is not possible to decide which racket to buy based on your reviews, because what is light for you may be heavy for others and vice versa. Therefore, I would like to suggest that you precisely mentioned the weight, swing weight and balance point using a Swing weight machine in your upcoming reviews. This would be extremely helpful for viewers to decide the right racket of their choice and would hopefully add to more viewers and subscribers for your channel. It will be a win win situation for all. I hope you would like to consider my humble suggestion, I would say more of a request.
Amazing review as always! And I definitely agree with the factory stringing issue. Whenever I buy a new racket and go for 28lb tension with their free stringing service, they always came back feeling like 24lb or even less. Such disappointment, as I will have to pay extra to restring again to the real tension of my liking. Yonex please!
If your racket has been restrung from your badminton shop then its the shop, not Yonex. I believe made in Japan rackets arrive from the factory unstrung.

Amazing work, bro! With your estimated re-positioning of the relative stiffness and head-heaviness of all Astrox rackets, I'm getting the 100 GAME for my intermediate-level game play.

So many people asking racket recommendations. I used to be like that, it takes me more than 10 years to really understand about that. Strings, rackets is not an easy task to improve your game from equipment. You must do your homework, first thing first check the yonex matrix and learn how to know the specifications written rackets. Second, find youtube reviewer of course the legit one not only crap talks. Third, go to some store and check it yourself. I spent more than 1000$ and 10 years to finally understand what rackets and strings suit me very well. And the most important things not only your pokcet money. You have to improve your skill and go to local club to improve your skills. Trust me invest on your skills won’t dissapoint you. You will be able maximize the racket potential and features. Since, asking racket actually personal and won’t have the same experience for each player. If you are looking for buying top range rackets such as 100ZZ, 88D Pro, etc. I recommend you to test it in actual games or local stores.
@@CKYew Absolutely ! If not I won't come here so often CK and do some comments ! I don't know why your subscribers not there. But I believe you are in a right track. Your explanations are easy to understand for beginner and thoroughly. I am always looking forward any content from you. Cheers !

Great review sir. Very well explained. I'm an intermediate player and was using Astrox 69 until it broke. I found your review very useful. However, I'm now confused to pick a mid-range racquet between - Astrox 100Game, Astrox 88D game or Astrox 69 (which I loved playing with) ? Your insights with be helpful.🙏💛
its been awhile since this video was released, however its the video i watched so many times to help me consider if buying astrox 100 tour or the nextage is better, first thing i thought was the sweet spot is way smaller than what i was used to (a rubbish racket with not very high tention), although this is a very powerful racket, it'll take me a long time to get use to it, which is ironic because i signed up to a tournament at a uni in england, hopefully i can get used to it in time (im a casual player but with intermediate skills :), thanks for your video, it helped me a lot even after 2-3 years!!
Hi CK, I just noticed something the other day while I was restringing a 100 game for a friend. The stringing pattern / hole pattern of the 100game seems to be different from the 100zz. Not sure if this is some thing you noticed as well, or whether the racket I had was a counterfeit? Btw hope you are recovering well!
Hey CK! If you compare astrox 100 tour to astrox 100 zx, what is the more suitable racket for all rounder (singles and doubles) with attacking preference?
@CK YEW Is the head frame shape of astrox 100 zz and 100 game the same bcoz I want to buy a 100 game bcoz I thought I the head frame is same plz tell me
Great review.. I bought a 3U 100zz and finding it too heavy and slow as you said here... Considering a 4U 100zz, 4U 100 Tour or 4U 88D Pro, looking for a lot less heavy and quicker, but still good power which would you suggest? Thank you!
Haha, I found the 4U 100ZZ was significantly easier to play with but I went for the 88D Pro in the end as my go to as its even faster and provides me with lots of power too!
@@CKYew thanks for the reply! I am also leaning towards a 4U 88D Pro as well and unloading my 3U 100zz, just too heavy, only issue is everyone is sold out of 4U 88D pro's in Canada right now, so must be a popular choice... : )
@@CKYew Can you defend well in doubles with the 88D pro though? I guess, if you're coming from the Z force 2, the 88D Pro can be moved really quickly. 🤔
Hi CK as always great review. I recently bought the 100 game (4ug5) racket. compared to my previous racket astrox 10dg (4ug5), It feels lighter, less stiffer. Overall feels less solid compared to the astrox 10 dg. Now I'm considering to change to the 3u version or upgrading to the tour one. Any thoughts about this? Thanks
@@CKYew okay thanks CK for the reply, just one more question does the 100 game and 99 game have same stiffness from your experience? or one which one is stiffer? thanks
I'm an intermediate player and plays single. I'm also more of an attacking player. Do you think it would be hard if I use tour, or is it better for me to just use game? Thanks!
Which one is good 100 game or lining 3d caliber 300 combat , I usually play attacking game and prefers head heavy racket . Majorly I didn’t find any balance point for the 100 game , they both are in same price range . Your suggestion would be good
Hello CK Which one do u prefer Astrox 100 zz (dark navy version, someone already used it and want to sell it) or Astrox 100 Tour Kurenai (new) ? Both have same price Thank youu
Hey CK Yew, would you say the 100 game model is somewhat similar to the 100zz but more forgiving since it's medium stiff? I'm more newer the badminton but would using the 100 game prepare me to use 100zz in future once my fundamentals are more solid?
Hi CK, great review!! I am a high-intermediate player who mostly play doubles with attacking style. I own an astrox 6 and duoro 10 which are both great and now planning to upgrade. Which one of these rackets would you recommend with relative ease of use? I am mostly torn between 88D pro and 100zz because of their user friendliness but dont want that to be a factor for compromising powerful shots. Do you really need to have a spectacular technique to use 100zz? can 88D provide powerful shots? Your thoughts appreciated.
I ordered the 100zz tour I haven't received it yet but I'm so excited The 100 series right now is considered the God racket so I recommend trying it out
Are the variations similar to the Astrox 99 and Arc saber 11 s? I use the Astrox 99 play and enjoy the smashes. And you mentioned the difference between the Pro Tour Game and Play was very minimal. would that be the case here too with the 100 series? Thinking of grabbing the Astrox 100 Game
If you're not a strong player, i would actually recommend the 88S Pro in 4U or the 77 instead. You'll get more out of these 2 instead of the 100ZZ and 99Pro.
M8, did you take part in the Yorkshire Tier 4 tournament last Saturday the 6th Nov? Just came across this video while looking for racket reviews haha. Nice vid btw.
Hello! i am an intermediate level player. i like aggresive, power playing styles. considering the 100zz for my playing style. i've read that it isnt as lightweight, for intermediate players and that it is a bit tough to play with. should the 4U version be alright for me? and will i be able to wrap my playing around on it and its capabilities, become *one* with it?
I tried 100zz 4u while used to having z force in 3u. It's snappier for drives but doesn't have a solid feel compared to z force. Like you need to swing faster
Eyeing on this raclkket now for an upgrade. But I am also curious if should I switch to a light racket since I am still making adjustment from my timing since I just returned to the court
@@CKYew yes I have. I have both those rackets. I find the 88d pro easier to play with but compared to the 100zz I think it lacks a little power. Also its couple of grams lighter. What do you think?
@@GhulamNabi-xs4pi The 100ZZ is designed to be the ultimate power racket so the 88D Pro having slightly less power compared to it should be about right. :)
Which one do you think has more smashing power 100 game or 88d game?? In your personal opinion from all the testing. Also I hope you make a comparison video of these newer game models of different rackets like 88d game vs 100game vs 99game etc because in most places/countries we don't get to test the rackets, Online reviews are the only real data we can rely upon.
@@vishwamanu_28 i Ordered 100 game Recently ( haven't recieved it yet ) , one guy in My Court Has 100 game Racket( which I tested once) strung with bg65 at 30lbs which is higher that the prescribed limit and His Smashing is absolutely phenomenal like you won't be able to react kind of power, mind you His overall game is Very High level and the Racket is able to Do justice to his skills , Soo I am impressed by this racket.
Hello @CK Yew i am looking forward to buying the astrox 100 tour as it sits perfect with my gameplay, i had just a doubt is it as stiff as the zz or zx i am a little confused so if you could help me it will be fine
@@CKYew thank you so much sir, i was looking for a perfect racket but i can't afford the zz and wouldn't be able to play with it, so i am buying the tour version in india. Keep posting sir love the videos 😀
i looked at the material from the 100 tour and the 100zx and there no difference in the material in the frame and the shaft. 0 difference. but it comes down to the thickness of the shaft and the frame which could be the difference between the 2. i think this might be why you felt its was basically a 100zx
Hey CK. I'm a double player, often play offensive with smashes from the back court, sometimes also play fast. I've considered on buying a new racket, there are two rackets that got my attention, astrox 88d game and astrox 100 game. Which one do you think suit the best for me?
@@CKYew u makes me even more confused, better choose 100 game or arcsaber tour 1000 😂, because game 100 is just made in taiwan, and arcsaber is made in japan, even though arcsaber tour 100 is not new (summon date) like 100 game.
Hey CK. Knowing that 88 and 99 series both have pro, tour and game version currently. Any idea if 100zz will come out with a pro version too? Or the current 100zz is already consider as the pro version?
Good day sir..Im an intermidiate player..Played both single and double..im planning to buy racket..any recommendation sir between NANOFLARE 370 SPEED, YONEX VOLTRIC 21 DG, OR YONEX ASTROX 100 GAME..TYIA 😁
Ok you have UK for United Kingdom written in cap. Which means for the specific regions and so forth for other countries. 🆔 for India, CHN for china etc. What is the meaning of SP written on shaft. It's only seen on the made in Japan raqt? Is yonex sponsor player do wear made in Japan clothes they have 2 embroidery yonex logo one chest and other on in sleeve.?? And one we get from store is usually from China and has one logo on chest... Plz reply🙏🙏
China is CH. Some say SP = Singapore or South Pacific. Eitherway, SP is only sold in the South East Asian region. Some more info on genuine Yonex rackets here: ua-cam.com/video/rgN-gpVYiIg/v-deo.html
Hello sir, hopefully you want to reply my question, i have search all about Astrox 100 game specification and still can't find the real balance point? Could u help me sir
I've tried 7dg and it was suitable for me. I've been playing badminton for 1year and wondering if the stiffness of 100Tour fit for me or not? Can you give me some advice?
@@anhtuanvo5751 I dont think the stiffness of the 100 Tour will be an issue. Just make sure you have your usual strings at your normal tensions on. You'll enjoy it most that way :)
Both are incredibly similar. The solid feeling comes from the Japan made rackets. Or the play version from my recent 99 Play testing too. Check out my 99 Tour Game Play review video to find out more.
@@CKYew already watch it mate.. Oh so the astrox 99 play series has similar solid feeling too like Zforceii and 100zz?! Then how about astrox 100 game kurenai mate, already tried it?
@@andrekristanto6511 👍 all Tour and Game have the same feeling, slightly hollow. The 99 Play had a more solid feel but not exactly the same as the Japan rackets.
What would you say are the differences between the 88d game, 99 game, and 100 game in terms of feel, balance point, and play style? I am a beginner and mostly plays doubles at the back but also play net shots. Which would you say is the right racket for that sort of play style? Regards from Indonesia! Side note: I am planning to upgrade from an astrox 39. Would you say any of these rackets are worth the upgrade? Thankyou
@@CKYew which of these would you say is the most and least head heavy? I have tried the 88S game but it’s far too head light to me. I’ve also tried the 88S 1st gen and it feels good to me in terms of head weight but is out of my budget.
I have asked the same question on a different video of CK's. I am singles player though (my strength being shuttle placement and defense. Smashing is average).
Hi, Thanks for the information - especially the strings need re-stringing from factory settings. I seen Yonex Duora 8XP on sale and an Astrox 100 game. I am not sure what racket to buy. I don't mind spending over £100 but will spend less if I can help it. I have a head light racket and want to invest in a good head heavy smashing racket. Accuracy too. I was thinking of going for Yonex brand.. Can you name top 5 to buy of your own choice ? or is there a video ?
@@CKYew Thanks for the reply. I went for the under £100 budget and went for the Yonex Duora 8XP from your website ! It was in the sales page. I did see elsewhere but bought from you guys when I realised you sell it too.. Damn i'm thinking to buy the 88D pro now. The Duora 8XP is actually showing as 50% off, so must be a decent one, plus its made in Japan. Hopefully it should suit my playing levels, as I am getting into it more, and am a beginner level at the moment. Hopefully it will keep me at bay from buying another racket for a year or so..I wanted a racket to learn from, that I don't have to keep re-buying to upgrade. Also, on another video you made, I noted that professional players do not necessarily play with a heavy head racket, so made some compromise there too. Thanks
I don’t sell any rackets 😂 YCSports is an amazing company who’s been very supportive of my work and have sent me samples to test! They’re a good company 😊. Hope you’ve also used my code ‘CKYEW’ for extra discounts! 😬
@@CKYew Ahh lol, okay dude, yea I thought it was your shop. Yea, the code worked ! was about 8 percent cheaper. It certainly helps ! Cheers and keep up the good work ! Tbh spending over £100 can vary quite a bit. First my budget was £50, then it went to £100, I think it would have gone up to £150 next but, yes for now I believe its okay to spend this much (£80) :-) Thanks again
HI CK, can I ask you to compare AX100Game tp AX77 in terms of stifness and power and playability? I have read somewhere that the 100Game model is somewhat the upgarded version of 77. thanks
I dont think the 100 Game is an upgraded model of the 77. The 77 is a 'high end' racket whereas the 100 Game is a 'mid-entry level' racket. The 77 is better at every single category compared to the 100 Game.
@@CKYew That is exactly what the pro shop told me. 😏 As an intermediate level player, should be purchasing by specs. Want medium flex? Astrox 77. On a budget? 100 Game.
Sir i confused between astrox 9 vs astrox 100 game because i used astrox for 2 years and i can fear for using new racket like astrox 100 game but please suggest sir which is better and why
So very slight different 100zz and 100tour? If you given choice between 100tour and 77, which 1 will you pick? Since both them price near. 100zz need extra bucks 😂
Hi ck yew..i want to buy astrox 100game or astrox 77..two racket in my list for medium shaft and headheavy..can u suggest this 2 racket for best headheavy racket..100 game is headheavy than 77?
Hi CK, i wanna ask about 100 tour and 99 tour. Can you tell what the significant difference between those two ? Which one is faster, have more power, and easy to play. Thanks!
Hi, love your videos. I'm a beginner and mainly like to play doubles. My playing style is mixed with both defence and offence. However I have been struggling to decide which would really suit my playing style. With a lower budget, I've been looking into 88s game, 88d game and lastly 100zz game. Could you please suggest me one which could help improve my game. Thanks and cheers.

Defending with the 88D Pro is a breeze compared to the ZF2 😂👌
Hi CK as always great review. I recently bought the 100 game (4ug5) racket. compared to my previous racket astrox 10dg (4ug5), It feels lighter, less stiffer. Overall feels less solid compared to the astrox 10 dg. Now I'm considering to change to the 3u version or upgrading to the tour one. Any thoughts about this? Thanks
Its up to your personal preference. If you enjoyed it, why not?
@@CKYew okay thanks CK for the reply, just one more question does the 100 game and 99 game have same stiffness from your experience? or one which one is stiffer? thanks
I'm an intermediate player and plays single. I'm also more of an attacking player. Do you think it would be hard if I use tour, or is it better for me to just use game? Thanks!
i think both will work well for you, its just a matter of personal preference really.
Hi CK, i really want to know what string and its tension ure using on the racket. that whooping sound at 1:49 are really 🔥🔥🔥
That was on Exbolt 63 at my usual 27lbs.
Which one is good 100 game or lining 3d caliber 300 combat , I usually play attacking game and prefers head heavy racket . Majorly I didn’t find any balance point for the 100 game , they both are in same price range . Your suggestion would be good
Maybe too late but I would suggest 100 game
2:17
You didn't have to do this, she skedaddled around the court like that. 😂
Hello CK
Which one do u prefer Astrox 100 zz (dark navy version, someone already used it and want to sell it) or Astrox 100 Tour Kurenai (new) ? Both have same price
Thank youu
100ZZ if they’re same price!
Hi CK, may I have your views on 100 tour compare to 99 tour? Thanks
Hey CK Yew, would you say the 100 game model is somewhat similar to the 100zz but more forgiving since it's medium stiff? I'm more newer the badminton but would using the 100 game prepare me to use 100zz in future once my fundamentals are more solid?
the lower end models dont feel as nice as the high end models.
Great review. Which one is a better doubles racket 88d pro vs 100 zz? Thanks!
It's a personal preference. I personally prefer the 88D Pro to the 100ZZ but it could be different for you.
@@CKYew Sure! Thanks!
Let me know which one you eventually went with and how they feel for you 😊
Hi CK, great review!! I am a high-intermediate player who mostly play doubles with attacking style. I own an astrox 6 and duoro 10 which are both great and now planning to upgrade. Which one of these rackets would you recommend with relative ease of use? I am mostly torn between 88D pro and 100zz because of their user friendliness but dont want that to be a factor for compromising powerful shots. Do you really need to have a spectacular technique to use 100zz? can 88D provide powerful shots? Your thoughts appreciated.
88D Pro will give you plenty of power but obviously if you prefer a stiffer feeling, go for the 100ZZ!
I ordered the 100zz tour
I haven't received it yet but I'm so excited
The 100 series right now is considered the God racket so I recommend trying it out
Are the variations similar to the Astrox 99 and Arc saber 11 s? I use the Astrox 99 play and enjoy the smashes. And you mentioned the difference between the Pro Tour Game and Play was very minimal. would that be the case here too with the 100 series? Thinking of grabbing the Astrox 100 Game
Are all the racquets in the 100 series in the F1 category or otherwise
Because they were the first few models to launch, i didnt think it was as close as the Arcsaber models. 😬
Thanks mate . Just don’t like the 88d pro s aesthetics .
Astrox 100zz vs Astrox 99 pro which one best for intermediate player ? I am not strong player . I love attacking game play .
If you're not a strong player, i would actually recommend the 88S Pro in 4U or the 77 instead. You'll get more out of these 2 instead of the 100ZZ and 99Pro.
M8, did you take part in the Yorkshire Tier 4 tournament last Saturday the 6th Nov? Just came across this video while looking for racket reviews haha. Nice vid btw.

Hello! i am an intermediate level player. i like aggresive, power playing styles. considering the 100zz for my playing style. i've read that it isnt as lightweight, for intermediate players and that it is a bit tough to play with. should the 4U version be alright for me? and will i be able to wrap my playing around on it and its capabilities, become *one* with it?
I think so. 4U is a lot easier to play with compared to 3u.
Then i should give it a try?
I think you should!
@@CKYew Thanks so much! Your videos are really helpful and enjoyable
I tried 100zz 4u while used to having z force in 3u. It's snappier for drives but doesn't have a solid feel compared to z force. Like you need to swing faster
nothing I've tried has that unique ZF2 feeling, except the ZF2!
this channel is so underrated
Thank you for your support!
Great review,
would you recommend Astrox 100 or 99 tour for singles attacking with alright defence?
Both are great!
@@CKYew Thanks for the reply, guess I'll go for the 100 kurenai then as the cosmetics are supreme 👌
@@js06v Absolutely! Looks 🔥
Eyeing on this raclkket now for an upgrade. But I am also curious if should I switch to a light racket since I am still making adjustment from my timing since I just returned to the court
Bro dont go for a light racket i bought it nanolfare 1000 game but coudnt adjust to it ended up sellinh and buying astrox 100 game
Hi great review as usual. How would you compare the 100zz with the 88d pro.
I prefer the 88D Pro because its easier to play with. Have you checked out my review for the 88D Pro?
@@CKYew yes I have. I have both those rackets. I find the 88d pro easier to play with but compared to the 100zz I think it lacks a little power. Also its couple of grams lighter. What do you think?
@@GhulamNabi-xs4pi The 100ZZ is designed to be the ultimate power racket so the 88D Pro having slightly less power compared to it should be about right. :)
@@CKYew Have you tested the 88d pro 3u ?
@@GhulamNabi-xs4pi only the 4U which I felt was very powerful for me.
Hi CK. Which one of the 100 Tour and 100 Game is better value for intermediate player?
Game 👍
Hi bro astrox 99 tour vs 100 tour which racket is best
Do you recommend Standard or Thin & Long racket protection tape for Astrox 100zz?
The Thin & Long would work well with the Astrox 100ZZ due to its thinner frame 👌🙏🏻
@@CKYew thank you very much, I purchased a set 👍
Which one do you think has more smashing power 100 game or 88d game?? In your personal opinion from all the testing.
Also I hope you make a comparison video of these newer game models of different rackets like 88d game vs 100game vs 99game etc because in most places/countries we don't get to test the rackets, Online reviews are the only real data we can rely upon.
Hey which one did you end up buying. I'm also looking at these three racquets
@@vishwamanu_28 i Ordered 100 game Recently ( haven't recieved it yet ) , one guy in My Court Has 100 game Racket( which I tested once) strung with bg65 at 30lbs which is higher that the prescribed limit and His Smashing is absolutely phenomenal like you won't be able to react kind of power, mind you His overall game is Very High level and the Racket is able to Do justice to his skills , Soo I am impressed by this racket.

Hello @CK Yew i am looking forward to buying the astrox 100 tour as it sits perfect with my gameplay, i had just a doubt is it as stiff as the zz or zx i am a little confused so if you could help me it will be fine
The stiffness of the zz and zx feels different. For me, the tour feels exactly like the zx.
@@CKYew thank you so much sir, i was looking for a perfect racket but i can't afford the zz and wouldn't be able to play with it, so i am buying the tour version in india. Keep posting sir love the videos 😀
@@iceaviationhows the experience with the 100 tour sir?
@@iceaviation would you recommend 100 game or 100 tour or any other racket and i play singles offensive game.TYIA
Which one is easier for beginner for all around: astrox 100 game or astrox nextage?
i looked at the material from the 100 tour and the 100zx and there no difference in the material in the frame and the shaft. 0 difference. but it comes down to the thickness of the shaft and the frame which could be the difference between the 2. i think this might be why you felt its was basically a 100zx
My measurement of the ZX and Tour for the shaft thickness and frame were almost identical too 🤣🤣

I went with the 88d Pro
100zx or 100 Tour? And can you review astrox 100zx

100 game is medium flex right? That would mean more powerful than stiff shafts if u dont have the techniques yet
To be honest, I wouldn’t call it medium just yet. It’s just a touch more flexible than the Tour. Just a touch 😊

Ok you have UK for United Kingdom written in cap. Which means for the specific regions and so forth for other countries. 🆔 for India, CHN for china etc. What is the meaning of SP written on shaft.

I don't measure balance points on rackets because they vary depending on how its measured. I prefer to describe the actual racket feel instead

Hi, Thanks for the information - especially the strings need re-stringing from factory settings. I seen Yonex Duora 8XP on sale and an Astrox 100 game. I am not sure what racket to buy. I don't mind spending over £100 but will spend less if I can help it. I have a head light racket and want to invest in a good head heavy smashing racket. Accuracy too. I was thinking of going for Yonex brand.. Can you name top 5 to buy of your own choice ? or is there a video ?
One of my current fav power racket is the 88D Pro. Check out the other Astrox review videos I've done on my channel and see what you think?
@@CKYew Thanks for the reply. I went for the under £100 budget and went for the Yonex Duora 8XP from your website ! It was in the sales page. I did see elsewhere but bought from you guys when I realised you sell it too.. Damn i'm thinking to buy the 88D pro now. The Duora 8XP is actually showing as 50% off, so must be a decent one, plus its made in Japan. Hopefully it should suit my playing levels, as I am getting into it more, and am a beginner level at the moment. Hopefully it will keep me at bay from buying another racket for a year or so..I wanted a racket to learn from, that I don't have to keep re-buying to upgrade. Also, on another video you made, I noted that professional players do not necessarily play with a heavy head racket, so made some compromise there too. Thanks
