If you are gym guy, and atleast 1hr per day do you spend to build your arm&shoulder muscle, then you go to a shop and buy voltric z f2 or Astrox 99... That's it. If you are not a gym guy, & you are not like arm muscle training in gym. Don't think about to control those beasts...
Thx, for posting this video. I only just played with your top racket the 88D today. The owner dislikes it but I loved playing with it. So much so that I beat him in two games of doubles using it. 😂 I’m still looking for another racket to add to my collection. I like 3U but after today I think that maybe a 4U might Bea better option for lightness.
Using Astrox 77 and 99.4u since 3 u isn’t available in my country. Though the 99 sounds so crisp when doing clears and smashes. Indeed, the power comes from loosed grip and relaxed muscles and then speed up. Backhand clears with the 99 are so easy though I’d love to test the 3 u versions since the weight doesn’t feel much more, just when swinging you can feel the balance and weight. Ich Love that
Out of some of the like 100 or somewhat badminton channels on UA-cam this is THE best you put so much time into everything and it's always hysterical and funny so yeah keep up the good work man !!
Ken, my friend has the duora 10. The newer model and he lets me play with it and i fully agree on ur opinion about it. I think the same as u about it. Great top 10 video btw. I agree also but can u make a 2020 version? Whenever u can.
Great video!! like always poison cobra very impressive, this year was great I enjoyed UA-cam a lot specially seeing poison cobra videos. All the best and remember you are the best!!
I play clay court badminton and I don't want to use running shoes that too I don't have any old badminton shoes to wear ..so please suggest me which shoes are best under 2000rs to buy a new pair for clay or mud court...pls..
yeah that's so true .. i'm glad ive bought astrox 88D that is number 1 by your opinion , but i feel i cant completely mastering this racket,that's because i just a beginner player, and for me 88D is quite heavy for beginner players like me .. sometimes the smash is outstanding, but when it comes to late game, i cannot generate anymore power on this racket , yeah that's because i'm still a beginner T.T
Hello Ken. These questions may not be that related to the best badminton racquet but I am curious about how you take care of your racquets that you won’t be using for a while and how would you store them.Another question I would hope that you will give some insights on is the use of big racquet bags/tournament bags , cause in where I from , it seems that these bags are not very popular and usually people will only bring a cloth case for their badminton gear .Thx and keep up the good work on your videos !
I like your top 5, pretty spot on. I think most user friendly: Astrox 77, Most Versatile Astrox 88S/D. I have both Astrox 88D and Astrox 99, and I actually find Astrox 88D is the better racket because of the ease in generating racket head speed and better touch. One thing, you mentioned a lot about players' level (beginner, intermediate, advanced); many people have different conception about the skill at each level, will you elaborate on these descriptions?
I suggest you to tell your story why you don't go in tournaments?and review best beginners racket cause lot of people see you and they are beginners. Plz:)D
Is there a way to lower the price of the shipping costs? Because if I bought a racket from Lung Tang it would nearly be the same price as normal because of the shipping costs.
Hello, thanks for the useful content you put up on you tube. Which racket would you recommend for playing with plastics. A racket oriented towards power. Thanks again ! I've heard that stiffer ones are not meant to be used with plastics. Why is that?
great video! i currently have the victor tk9900 4u and im thinking if which one would be closer to the tk9900... the 88s or the 88d? i mainly play doubles and use 4u strictly. thanks!
I envy ur knowledge about badminton rackets!!! Plsss do more tutorial videos.......there is no tutor where I live so I'm having trouble learning it all by myself(there is no court either) Oh n sorry for the late comment...i was out of town
@@issacyong3978 I used different strings so far, BG 68 Ti, BG 66 Ultimax which is like the most so far. And always with 11kg Tension so far. To the weird feeling you mention, i cannot say anything. Cause i used to have a rather cheap yonex racket and the z-strike now just feels like a magic wand compared to my old one. And when i tested rackets before buying (astrox88, duora10, arcsaber), the z-strike just felt best in my hands.
What do you think of other brands that are small like Apacs, Fleet, and abroz? Some of the rackets are so cheap compared to yonex, lining, or victor however I don't know their reliability. I've only been playing a year now but I've progressed a lot and I consider myself a beginner into intermediate as a player so I don't know if it's worth it to buy a higher end racket yet or not. To anyone that replies, thanks in advance!
I would give u my opinion on the top 6 or 5 rackets but I only have voltric z force 2 and I recently got the ASTROX 88 s for christmas which I’m still getting used to
For older racket do a comparison video of VZF2 vs Duora Z Strike vs Nanoray Z Speed (all compact head) For newer racket do on Duora 8XP vs Astrox 88D vs Nanoray Glanz( concentrate on racket suits for doubles and singles)
So how much would the 88D roughlywould be? if it was to be delivered to London from Lung tung. Obviously you bought it unless they given it for free!!!
These all look like pretty amazing racquets. Do you have a top 5 for 2018 for the budget player? I'm only intermediate (at least I would like to think of myself as intermediate), so I probably cannot take advantage of the performance gains of these pro racquets. I'm hoping to keep a budget of around $100, but I can go a little over if it's worth it.
Votric lite is the lowest model in the Votric range and a very good power racket for £35 so should be cheap everywhere. Max tension 24lbs you can go slightly over but even at 24lbs using exbolt 63 and bg66 ultimax its very powerful with good feeling and control
αηÐяєι 2nd it does shipping u just hav to choose the country and address and everything. Idk abt free, I’m tryna get a z speed, and it’s 120, total was 135. But I hav a question for I, r these products like legit? Like just as good as in any other part of the world? Like... EXACT quality?
@@humzaqureshi1391 sorry I meant shipping fee* and from what I heard they are 100% legit, you might be wondering as to why it had such a cheaper price than other seller, that is because they have a higher stock value ^-^ thank you for the help! I saw you said it cost 120 but the total was 135 to was 15 the shipping fee or you bought it with strings and grip?
αηÐяєι 2nd strings but no grip and everything, I didn’t buy it yet I just wanted to check. I’m amazed given that other badminton stores charge 200-250$ for a z speed excluding tax. But true! The stocks do play a role in this. I think I am gonna get a racket from that site now hehe 😅.
More like top 6 "YONEX" badminton racket..you should broaden your brands if you want your channel expand more..but only if you have the budget tho..Li-Ning and Victor is a good start
@@whiteXthunders I'm usually the one smashing from the back and ik astrox 88D will be the best fit. I'm just worried about the weight and feel. I don't like rackets that feel heavy.

BRO , JUST FOUND UR CHANNEL WHEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT MY NEXT RACKET. MAYBE U CAN DO A 2019 TOP 5 ?
Yes mannn
Bro, question. Does your racquet have scratches caused by impacts?
Never disappointed when choosing 88D. That is the best racket ever.
3U / 4U version? What string do you use?
@@adam-lx9io I am using 3U @29Lb.

Great video!! like always poison cobra very impressive, this year was great I enjoyed UA-cam a lot specially seeing poison cobra videos. All the best and remember you are the best!!
Hey, you should make a list of best rackets in low-mid-high price range. Would love to hear your thoughts!
Karakal M Tec 75 with yonex aerosonic strings is my favourite racket it allows you to smash at ultra steep angles amazing peice of kit !

What’s the grip you use on the 88d, love the colour
Would u consider arcsaber 11 for front court doubles and also singles? Or can astrox 88s work better?
I suggest you to tell your story why you don't go in tournaments?and review best beginners racket cause lot of people see you and they are beginners. Plz:)D

You should try the brave sword 12. I use it, my father used it, brothers use it.

BTW I'll be revealing my face kinda and I'll be making badminton videos.
Is it k if I can borrow some ideas from ur channel..??
i was going to ask u to do this video but looks like u already did, thank u so much, this will be very helpful.
i bought the duora z-strike a few months ago and it is absolutely amazing. Works really well in singles and doubles
What string do you use and tension ? Heard that duora z strike is hard to adapt to because of the weird feeling of it.
@@issacyong3978 I used different strings so far, BG 68 Ti, BG 66 Ultimax which is like the most so far. And always with 11kg Tension so far.

my favourite for doubles: kawasaki king k8 and for singles: astrox 99/ airstream n99
Wait, so you use 3u version of astrox 88d?
Did you recommend 3u version for intermediate player?
Are u doing this video this year ?
I wonder where the astrox 100zz fits in this list
Whats the difference between double racket and singles racket
This helped me alot, thanks!
where is voltric z force 2
Tanga

Bakit voltric z force 2 gamit mo?
@@adrianpaulcabaddu3952 oo sbhin monang bulok ngyon un pero 4 years un nging top 1 racket used by pro so dont judge someones opinion
Good list. But you should include Li ning racquets too. N9ii N7ii N80ii N90iv etc
what raquets would you recommend for beginner?
OMG IM IN HONG KONG I CANT WAIT TO MEET YOU!
question was there more videos in your channel?
Poison Cobra. If im an intemidiate, and I would like a raquet which is less than $300, and a single racquet, what would it be?
Hi Ken, great stuff. Need an updated video for this year. 🙏
Great list bro... Compile one for ashaway, victor, lining
What do you think of other brands that are small like Apacs, Fleet, and abroz? Some of the rackets are so cheap compared to yonex, lining, or victor however I don't know their reliability. I've only been playing a year now but I've progressed a lot and I consider myself a beginner into intermediate as a player so I don't know if it's worth it to buy a higher end racket yet or not. To anyone that replies, thanks in advance!
Can you please help me with the best option,
Duora 10 or 10LT ?
If you have the money, Duora 10.
What's the website for badminton gears?
Z force 2 4U for double better or Arcsaber 11 ?
Make A separate video on the voltric 7DG and Duora 77
ken can you make vids on mid range and budget rackets
I would give u my opinion on the top 6 or 5 rackets but I only have voltric z force 2 and I recently got the ASTROX 88 s for christmas which I’m still getting used to
Yeahhhh finally new video
The First Guy
Can you review more Victor rackets?
Literally just as I was about to ask, but was wondering if there is any good cheap racquets for beginners.
Is 88 s pro also good for single
Is the astrox 7 worth getting,
Kasper Frølund Ye, light weight and powerful. Good for smashes and attacking.
Nice review, I wonder what is the next series that Yonex is gonna put out...
Nice video man keep up
In which country do you live and state
you are amazing ken i am from india and your videos are also amazing pls add tricshots part 4
Does the astrox 88s is good for singles?????pls reply
For older racket do a comparison video of VZF2 vs Duora Z Strike vs Nanoray Z Speed (all compact head)
For newer racket do on Duora 8XP vs Astrox 88D vs Nanoray Glanz( concentrate on racket suits for doubles and singles)
I use lining super series ss 99 plus, very cheap racket, just 35$.
But feel is amazing, like turbo charging 7II td/tf 👍
Is it better to have 2-3 same model rackets for a game or 2-3 different models
Any advance player would have 2-3 same rackets, same strings, same tension ;{)
So how much would the 88D roughlywould be? if it was to be delivered to London from Lung tung. Obviously you bought it unless they given it for free!!!
