Thank you coach Paul for the video. I am a big fan of your review work!
I have a weird questions relating to 99 pro and I would appreciate if you can help me out. I am using the 99 pro for almost 1.5 years and generally I have no complaints about this wonderful racket. I bought it after I've practice badminton for about 3 years and at that time, I felt great: I did not feel the racket is too demanding (super head heavy, stiffness...) like people said, and thoroughly enjoyed as it gives me much more power and control. However recently, suddenly I felt sometimes it is too stiff and unresponsive, which is strange because I have been getting more serious about badminton: more intensive training, more tournament and consistency training. Overall, I should feel much stronger and more capable using the racket.
My friends/partners in badminton pointed out that I used to have a larger swing, I used a bit more shoulder rotation to compensate my lack of forearm explosiveness. Now they say that my swing is more compact, I whip my forearm more so I naturally feel the racket becoming more stiff and head heavy.
This begs the question: what should I do now? Should I revert to using larger swing/ more shoulder or should I keep focusing on perfecting the whippy techniques as it seems like everybody is going down that route. Recently I tried out a head balance racket and immediately my swing was so fast that I had to adjust my timing. The smash was more crispy and great angle.
I still very much like the 99 pro and I am trying to convince myself it is all in my head, maybe I should just keep practicing and everything will be in the right place at some point in the future.
I am all ears to your opinions/guidance on this.
Thanks in advance.
As a coach which pro Astrox series racket will you recommend me as
I'm mainly a Singles player at domestic national level in Pakistan and little bit doubles at club level , I love to attack and I win points mainly from smash
Which racket will complement my game play?? Unable to decide among alot of rackets available in Astrox
And please do suggest 4U or 3U
I’ve no idea which racket you prefer out of the Astrox range. I see more singles players 100ZZ compared to either 99, 88’s or even 77.
Among 88d pro ,99 pro , 100zz
Which one has got the widest frame width with biggest sweet spot?
There is very little difference. The 99 has a completely different string pattern.
imo 99 pro has bigger sweet spot than 88d pro. cant tell about 100zz but since its compact frame I guess sweet spot is reduced
@@wakecity33 thanks bro
Can you suggest 3u or 4u to go for?
@@raoanwar1256 it depends on whether you play doubles or singles and how you use your hands
Plz make a review on arcsaver 11 play,88s play and nano flare 800 play
These are budget rackets and I rarely have them long enough to review
Compared to the z force 2 how does it compare?
Completely different feel. 99 is not an updated ZF2. It has similar specifications but misses the feel onthe stringbed
@@TheBadmintonCoach power wise how powerful is the 99 pro?
@@ianbancolita9571 in the right hands it’s very powerful but not all players can get that power from it
@@TheBadmintonCoach I am looking to upgrade from my 4u zforce2 which I have been using since past 3 years. Which racket would you recommend me? Any brand and budget is fine with me
@@dr.oneilaakashbiswas1038 is there an upgrade from Z Force II? What do you want more of and what do you want less of?
When yonex will release new astrox series? In 2024!
No idea. I can’t see new rackets this year although new colours on 88’s
Based on some leaks, new 88 will have different specifications including the implementation of 2nd gen namd, connecting grommets, stringing patterns etc. And they say will come out Late March to April.
@@keithtong1146 I think after All England in match?
