Hello sir,
Can you help me choose my own racket?
Im used to heavy racket
Which racket is the heaviest?
is the astrox 99 pro heavier than voltric z-force 2?
U FINALLY POSTED IT!!!!I've been waiting the whole week for this xD tnx for the content keep up the good work ck :D
Yep! I was waiting for the racket to launch before posting my review 🤣
Please reply me bro I just got astrox 99 pro and hands on its actually a masterpiece 🎉. I agree all the facts in video but it mentions maximum string tension 28lbs on website and shaft but I being professional prefer 32lbs😢. So can I actually use 32lbs I astrox 99 pro cuz it exceeds the advised ,and my mates also suggested not to do since momota is sponsored so he gets personalised ones to hold that high tension ,,...
Since it's a flagship racket , what do you say can it hold 32lbs or not🙏🥲❓️❓️
Please advise me man , I trust you as an old subscriber❤.
Amazing review as always. I absolutely love these colour schemes, but as soon as I heard it's heavier than the 88D pro...it's not for me.
Oh it made my 88D Pro felt like a non head heavy racket 🤣
I found something interesting when I wrapped an aerocush as an overgripe on my entry level voltric it felt significantly head light and easier to use 🤔
88D pro is not even heavy… 3U and 4u make zero difference it’s only 4 grams of weight not like a KG or something I hate this viewpoint people have.
@@CKYewhey do you use 4u or 3u 88d?
A bigger sweet spot? Even more of a sledgehammer? Cooler colors??? Yonex coming out with the goods with this. Epic review brother
Yep, yep and YEPPPPP!!!! 🤣🤣
Criminally underrated channel!
😬
I am thinking to buy a new racket, but I cannot decide which to buy.
Which is better Astrox 100zz or Astrox 99 Pro?? Thanks!
You should try them 👍
Woah! This is by far the best review I have ever watched about this astrox 99 pro!
Appreciate if you can share your thoughts on the comparison between 88d pro, 99 pro and 100zz in the upcoming video?
power, more Power, POWERRRRRRR!!! 🤣🤣
@@CKYew having those 3 in my bag...does it make me a POWER ranger? haha
Haha! I imagine that’s how Thanos felt with all that power!
ck yew, is it all astrox 99 pro , tour, game, play , have dual frame ( dual optimum system ) like duora ? backhand, forehand diffrent shape frame like duora ? i see description in yonex web
nope, its a mistake if its showing dual optimum frame

Great review CK, as usual :-). I like the way you compare recently released models. Very helpful. Thank you!
Always happy to help 😊 Thank you for your continued support 👍
Now we're only waiting for the more budget friendly models :D I'm hoping that it will be posted soon so i can recommend them to my friends if needed
Yep. Coming soon!
@@CKYewtoday!?!?
Was looking for a review on this racket, and you did not disappoint! However, would you recommend picking this over the regular A99 in orange and purple? Just want to know if they dramatically differ. I was looking to switch my ZF2 for one of these
For me, this 99 Pro is very different to the original 99. Its faster and I prefer the 99 Pro to the 99.
@@CKYew Will take your advice. Thanks!
@@CKYewhow does 99 pro compare to zforce2? I am looking to upgrade from my 4u zforce2 which I have been using since past 3 years
Victor thruster ryuga metallic vs astrox 99 pro
My 88dpro broke . Planning to buy ax99pro for singles.
How’s ax99pro compared to ax 88d pro (ik 99pro is more powerful but slower)
but feel wise and other variables how’s it compared to 88dpro…please reply 😄
feels softer too due to the extra hold time from the strings.
This racket between ryuga 1?

Sir what do you mean by "shuttle holding time"
would u review the 99 game?
@@dwannrzz9883 Yep! That's coming up in my next video! 👍
@@Escapu I would classify that as the time the shuttle 'sits' on the stringbed when you hit the shuttle.
Great post CK, thank you. One obvious question - How does this compare to the Astrox100ZZ?
Very intresting, but can you compare it with VT ZF 2 both in technical and play details?
Not even sure if I can even get hold of a zf2 nowadays 😂
Can you do a review on the voltric z Force 2
Stiff, very stiff. Very head heavy 😂
Hi CK, Im using a 100zz 3u. Wonder if 99pro is heavier in the same spec?
Head certainly is heavier for the 99 Pro
Hi, I have 99 Tour White Tiger, and really like it, the handle is great and feels like all around racket although have BP around 310mm, is there any significant differences between the tour and pro? And is the 99 pro more head heavy and hard to handle, if it compares to 99 tour, thanks
im struglling with my 100zz i'll pass on 99 pro. oh wait maybe give it a try
Of course give it a try!!!!
I saw it has similarities with astrox 88 pro models, is this racket good for double ? Of course i will pick 4u version
All I can say is: it wont be good for me as its wayyyy too head heavy. I use the 88D Pro for doubles and its amazing!

You are the best Badmintonyoutuber for me ❤️
Awwwwwwwww 😊
hi somebody has recommendations for a badminton racket. i play 3 years in a club, but im a atack player.
This is certainly an attacking racket!
why does my cone cap of my 99 pro looks different, mine is just plain, while yours has like a curve design, even though my racket is legit.
Review 99 lcw
I believe the 99 LCW is exactly the same as the purple model. Just a different colour.
海外だとPROとGAME以外にTOURとPLAYがあるのか

はい、すべてのモデルは白でご利用いただけます - google translated 🤣🤣
This just sounds like the ultimate singles weapon. If only I had the budget to by a set of rackets for singles and another for doubles!
Great review!
It is amazing for singles play!
Bro can you please suggest me some good racket in and around 80 to 90 dollar range...
I would've thought you would've bought the whole factory to produce badminton rackets for yourself Elon! 🤣🤣
@@CKYew yes m planning to make 10 feet badminton racket..please review..😁😂
Please suggest some good racket bro
@@ELONMUSK-hd6nv Can I have one for review please when you make the 10 foot racket?? 🤣🤣
what if a beginner uses this racket? will it be possible to get used to it and do well with this racket? or will it just be very hard to play with it and impossible to get used to it
Since the head is so heavy i would hurt your shoulders cause you don’t have a good technique yet but it’s something you could try but if you want something more forgiving but still a high end racket go for the astrox 88d pro
this racket is more suitable for intermediate players above. u need proper training with coach, technique and very strong arm to handle this racket. even though im an intermediate player, it feels so hard playing with it.
I've recently bought 99 pro.. you're right this thing is stiff AF.. and I'm getting tired easily..
Any tips how to manage this ?? Right now my tension is nanogy 95, 28 tensions..
Does lowering tension help ??
Like getting it down to 24-25 lbs help ??
I think I've wasted money.. upgraded it from Yonex nextage..
Appreciate your response, huge fan ♥️♥️
you do realise it's torture not posting 99 play vedio
I love that you're waiting for the review video but im not sure you realise how much work goes into these videos 🤣🤣
same as you... Now using 88D Pro, thinking for change to 99 Pro
Is this decision is correct ?
You can always try it! 😊
@@CKYew Okay.. Thanks bro
@@jamessia3891 Always happy to help 👍
really need a full review of that astrox 99 play model😭
I’ve done the comparison. Check out the review on my channel 👍🏼
Waiting for z force 3 to be released
😬
@@CKYew 😅😅
@@creativeflash1713 Not sure if Yonex will continue with their Voltric line anymore since Astrox was created to replace it.
String aerobite good at astrox 99 play?
Absolutely! I strung it on my 99 Play review, do check that video out on my channel 👍🏼
Would you say that this is similar to the original 88D?
Nope! Completely different beast!
Refreshingly honest review. People can see your level of play, compare themselves to you and conclude, whather the racket is suited for them. I for once am worse than you and can tell that this racket isnt for me. Curious to hear how the other variants will play.
Glad you found it useful! As you mentioned, the key thing for me is to be honest with you guys and if I find something that doesn't gel with me, you'll hear me say it. 99 Tour Game Play video review coming up in the next video. 😊
Recommend to be used in doubles?
Oooffff!!! Yes if you’re super strong!
Im planning to switch my aeronaut 9000 to this 99 pro . Had bought ax90 force tiger and found its hollow, not solid feel. Very spongy. Decide to sell it
What would you say about the astrox 99pro compared to zf2 3u
I've not tried the 3U 99 Pro but i think they'll be faster than the ZF2
Is the astrox 99 pro (4u) more powerful than original astrox 99 (4u)
For me, yes.
How about grommet? Is the grommet specific or the same in the market?
Omg im waiting for this
👍🏼
so in Olympic tokyo, the most racket to use is Astrox 100zz and nanoflare 700 ?
Have you checked out my Tokyo Olympics video here: ua-cam.com/video/arwzOL5FMww/v-deo.html
what do you think about the 68 grommet? does the string lose tension more than 76?
Me thinking what should i buy astrox 99 pro or Arcsaber 11 pro
What do you think is better CK😀
Arcsaber 11 pro all the way, one of the best all round racket out there and user friendly. 99 pro on the other side is very demanding, unless you are a single pro with decent power and technique 😊
I finally found a suitable racket for me! After viewing this review, I decided to give a try. A perfect fit and a beautiful color scheme! Definitely going to purchase protection tape to protect this beautiful racket
Man!! Play review???
Out in the next 2 days!
Ck what do you think this 99 pro compare 100 zz in speed and power?
I think both rackets are very close in that department. The bit where the 99 Pro wins hands down is its stability!
@@CKYew owhh thx for the answer ck,i hope you next videos are compare between the 100 zz, 99 pro and the different on 99 family:)
Video out now 🔥🔥
Do you think astrox 100zz will get a refresh with pro game tour models?
Already happened! See the reviews on my channel!
Hi CK, your opinion. What is the ideal type of play if a person is using a 99pro?
Lee Zii Jia style?? 😂😂
@@CKYew 😂😂😂😂
💪🏻💪🏻
What should I going for
88Dpro or 99pro
That's entirely down to you. The 88D Pro will be more headlight and faster compared to the 99 Pro.
Which color do you prefer CK?
I said in the video that i preferred the Red/Black one 👍
what string you use bro ? on your astrox 99pro 4ug5?
great review. I wonder about your opinion on which racket is the least demanding among these 3: astrox 99, astrox 99 pro, and astrox 55.
55?? I wouldn't compare the 55 together with the 99s. The 99S Pro is certainly less demanding compared to the normal 99 👍
Good review CK 😀👍, how many Holes grommet in as99pro ?? Thanks for the answer
68 grommets.
Exactly the same with the 88S Pro
@@praveenkumarmj2387 thanks for the answer bro ..
Hello.. after watch your review, now I become not sure what racket should i buy for head heavy racket.. In my bag already got Astrox 88S pro its okey to play for all rounder playstyle but not feel good with smashing. should i get Astrox 88D pro or Astrox 99 Pro for head heavy racket?
I dont consider the 88S Pro to be a 'real' head heavy racket 🤣. The 99 Pro is certainly a PROPER head heavy racket in this case.
@@CKYew mean i just go and try the astrox 99 pro instead of trying astrox 88D Pro??
@@hafizzudinrahman1174 If you can try both, why not?
Hi., What racket do you recommend between astrox 99 pro and duora 10 since I could afford only one racket.
It depends on what you're looking for from your rackets. Have you tried both of them before?
No I haven’t tried them yet. But I’m planning to buy one of the rackets so. I really need your recommendations sir 🙏🏻.
@@sangtea0885 why have you decided either the 99 Pro or Duora 10?
@@sangtea0885 You know that you are going to buy high end rackets right ? Since you mentioned only can afford one rackets. If you want to buy pricey rackets you better make sure by yourself. Those two rackets are 2 different specs and techniques demand. Unless you don’t want to regret bought wrong rackets, you better go to local stores and try it yourself side by side. That would be perfect if one of your friends have it and test it on court play. Next you have to analyze your style of play either suitable with head heavy racket or you prefer other. Trust me if you just watching and not test it yourself, it just like buy a car without know the machine inside.
Nothing beats trying out a racket for yourself 👍
Love form INDIA
Yayyyyyyy!
Great review ! If you had to choose betten 88D pro and 99 pro..what would be the choice?
I have chosen 😂 I went with the 88D Pro 😂
can you review astrox01clear
what racket u use now ? and tension ?
i use 88d pro, i confuse my smash always not hit the sweatspot, just hit the top racket.
I said in the review im playing with the 88D Pro and typically around 27 or 28lbs with Aerobite. 👍
@@CKYew oke thanks, always wait for ur video again, i like ur explanation about badminton..
@@williamboyz241 I'm glad they're helpful to you :)
Bigger sweet spot, cooler color, more power than astrox 88D, but is voltric z-force 2 heavier than astrox 99 pro?
As a user of both ZF2 is 100% heavier and head heavier
Sir, a video on astrox 100 zz vs astrox 99 pro
Have you tried either?
Nope
@@The_Ninja_of_Neon Have you checked out my 100ZZ review?
@@CKYew yes sir I saw it.
You are the best youtuber who makes review on Badminton equipments and spend time on reading comments by viewers. Now Days, it's very hard to find a such youtuber like you who respects his/her viewers. 💯💯💯💯👍👍👍
ck is this code existing❓ (Z2)
Your title suggested that there is a difference between the two colours but u did not really mention any difference in performance in that aspect. My stringer always tells me that between different colour schemes there will usually be a subtle difference in how the racket feels. Is that the case for these two colours?
It’s only cosmetic are you serious?
why my cherry is heavy than white tiger
How is it compared to the voltric z force 2?
I havent been able to try a ZF2 recently so I can't really say too much but certainly a bigger sweetspot compared to the ZF2!
Is this more demanding than the 100zz or 88D pro
1000000%!!
Your training partner looks great ;)
😂😂. More coming soon 😬
where can i see the latest yonex racket matrix sir
Sir I confused between astrox 99 pro and astrox 100zx I am a aggressive player which need more power and fast movement which should I pick sir?
The 99 Pro is a top end racket where the 100ZX is a mid range racket. The 99 Pro is head heavier too
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hey it’s a longest week I’ve ever known
Been waiting for you mate
Haha! Thank you for your patience lol! 😊
@@CKYew 👍🏻 keep up the good work
Hi CK… seems the 99 Pro shaft compared to 88D Pro is thicker… is it correct?
Not from my measurements. They both have similar diameters at 6.6mm.
@@CKYew thank you. I havent measured it yet. But eyeballing the two, the 99 pro seems a lot lot thicker.
@@calbalad Colours = optical illusions 🤣
Last time I really enjoy play double with voltric zforce first generation, spec 3ug5. I'm not sure 99 pro has the same head balance point with zforce. Maybe I should try it.
Wowwwww!! 3U ZF1 for doubles!! You'll probably love this one if you loved the 3U ZF1 😊
ZF1 3u for attacking of course I enjoy, but struggle a lot for defense..hahaha.. I also have zf1 4u in my bag & I totally dislike it, I feel lack of power..
@@Azmanpoy you love big powerrrrrrrrr 😂
Nice Video
👍 Thanks!
99pro has 68 holes as same as 88s pro and have super head heavy more than 88dpro
🔨
Dang the handle is longer just like the Duora Z-strike. I didn't like that about it. I was about to buy an AX 99 Pro. You just saved me $300 dude! Thanks haha. Great review though!
👌😂
How much?
It depends where you are but it should be pretty close to normal top end Yonex racket prices. 👍
A tip for anyone getting this racket the string tends to turn and twist while stringing this racket so just gotta give ur stringer a heads up before stringing
what do you mean sir?
i never thought i would use aerobite with the 99p pro as im used to be using quite repulsive string like bg 66 power. but i find that the aerobite really suits the 99 pro. i find it to point where it felt less demanding' to play as you can opt to do slice drop shots instead of smashes all the time in doubles. in another words it is very stable and control yet have immense amount of power. this is just my point of view
Aerobite FTW!!! 🔥🔥🔥
I think about buying cherry sunburst with the string: yonex aerobite white/red 0,67mm/0,61mm.
Is this the exact same string as in the video?
Pls help
Axforce80 Or astrox99 which is good???
Both are good, it depends on what you prefer
Finally the 99 Pro Review hit the market. Looking fw to the 4u white
Niceeeeeee! It certainly was good to see completely white rackets!
Hello just want to ask your opinion, are redcherry and white tiger feeling different when you use it?
Nope, they should feel the same 😊
CK could you do a comparison between 99 pro and 88 d pro? I am going to buy either one
This comparison is made with the 88D Pro in mind.
@@CKYew Yeah, just watched it. I think I’m going with the 88D pro as well. Thanks for the good review and keep up with great contents!

Hi, i'm from Indonesia, may i ask you something? I want my string hybrid BG 66 Ultimax for mains and Aerosonic for cross. I can't afford the 200 meters reel so maybe i will purchase the 10 meters pack. My question is, will it be enough for two times stringing? Is 5 meters enough for stringing the mains? Or i need 5.5 or 6 meters perhaps for the main but then i can't use one pack for 2 times stringing. Waiting for your answer soon 😁🙏
Up
hellooo, you'll need about 5.5m for the mains so you might not be able to do 2 rackets with 2 packs (unless you're happy to have Aerosonic for your mains in your second racket of course).
Thank you for your answer 🙏
So,
Racket A. 5.5 ultimax - 4.5 Aerosonic
Racket B. 5.5 Aerosonic - 4.5 Ultimax
Like so? 😮 is 4.5 meters enough for the cross section?
It depends from machine to machine but that’s a good baseline.
Okay then, thank you so much for your response 😁 really apreciate 🙏 i will try to string hybridly ultimax and aerosonic, i'll tell you the result soon here, just for sharing info and knowledge 😄 in case if the other curious and want to try the same 😅
