    100ZZ is a nice all rounded racket. i feel like the 88D pro is similar but different. my opinions on the 88D pro is that its very quick but solid feel power. the 100ZZ is quicker in my opinion and has this whip power but it still feels solid. you get plently of power from 100ZZ yet consistent

    Great review, CK. I've always enjoy watching your channel and I recently bought an Astrox 100ZZ after watching this clip. I do not know much about others current Yonex rackets to compare with as my last racket that I used 35 years ago was Carbonex 8. Well here I'm playing badminton again at my semi-retirement age. I must say Astrox 100ZZ is simply awesome!!!

      Hi CK. I'd like to get your opinions on Victor Thruster F Enhanced Edition ( after watching your recent review) and Astrox 100ZZ since you've played with both rackets before. I've been thinking of getting a Victor TFE (3U) as my 2nd racket as I find that the Astrox 100ZZ doesn't seem to give me the extra punch that I needed for my smashes. Does Victor TFE fares better when it comes to smashing?

First game with 100 zz with nanogy 98 on 28 lbs i felt lacking of power but i got a superb of control. Only needed 1 day i cut off this string and replaced with aerobite with 26lbs tension+10%.

Love my 100zz to bits, with BG80 power.

    I have all these rackets. Each racket is different, referring to your categories. My experience with these rackets is that ZF2 only offers power games and is very unforgiving in all other aspects. Astrox 99 Pro is a new experiment for Yonex and has a significant grooves problem. Astrox 100ZZ is decent though the structure becomes fragile when strung at a higher tension and a bit deficiency in power. Astrox 88 D pro is for overall games in doubles and offers more to frontcourt players. Please make a video on Lining or Victor rackets if you find anything interesting to brag about it.

    Interesting review CK, I only have the Astrox ZZ100 and 88D Pro, both 4U (although I have played briefly with a friend's ZF2 which I found to be way too stiff and head heavy for me, it was like trying to play with a plank of wood). I agree that the 100ZZ has more effective power than the 88D Pro but I also find that the 100ZZ has marginally better handling, it's just such a sweet racket to use. In the flat game, I find the 100ZZ's shorter shaft makes it slightly nimbler and quicker than the 88D Pro. The 100ZZ also has a really nice feel to the racket head when hitting shots and edges out the 88D Pro for me.
    I also have the 88S Pro and I can actually generate more effective power with the 88S Pro than the 88D Pro because it's lighter and quicker which means I can get into position more easily to execute a smash and the lighter head and whippier shaft (at least that's how it feels) allows for greater racket head speed and more effective power most of the time.
    It just goes to show there's more than one way to skin a cat, case in point, Wang Chi Ling generates tremendous power with his smashes with a Nanoflare 700.

      Overall, if you have a good physique and power also good strokes and are in higher intermediate going to advanced, then the 100zz would be the racket in which you will get the most out of. 88dp is also very good and meant for higher intermediate too but still can be used by intermediate players.

I'm currently using Nanoflare 800 which gives me good control for the stiffness and it has decent power. Now I want to switch to a head heavy racket. But the dilemma is Stiffness and solid hitting feel between 88D pro and 100zz. My inclination is towards 100zz but I don't wish to spoil my game because of the stiffness and learning curve that racket has.( That's what I have heard) My priorities are Head heaviness, Larger sweet spot than NF800 , great at back court and singles , Average in front court and does not compromises my current Play. Also in India 88D pro is slightly cheaper than 100zz. What your opinions on this as you have played with both ?

      quick update: However, because of super stiff shaft of 100ZZ, it injured my shoulder after every badminton game, I decided to switch to Yonex Medium Stiff Racket like Astrox 77 and the new recent one Astrox 77 Pro. You should make a review about that racket, it's a nice racket to play in 77 series.

    Played with 100zz , zforce2 and astrox 99pro.
    And I ended up with astrox 99pro.
    Astrox 100zz and zforce 2 is too stiff and if shuttle passes you , you gonna end up hitting a stupid shot…
    you gotta be super fit and accurate to use astrox100 and zforce2.
    And still it’s gonna give you some shoulder pains.
    For me astrox99 pro with aerobite is just so smooth in overall.

    Hi CK, I am an American fan of your reviews. I am a 17 year old playing at an advance level, and I was wondering which racket to get next: The Astrox 100 ZZ, or Astrox 99 Pro. I am about 5 foot 9, so not too short or tall. I was deciding between these two rackets because I would like to have a Shi Yu Qi-like playstyle.

    with 28ibs tension, and when I cut it in half, I found that a layer of graphite was missing on the top of the head.

    Hi there CK! love your video!! and I can say for myself that the 100zz is one of my best purchase in 2021!! It really got me around 1-2 months to get used to it.. and my my my.. it's really as what you said.. the shuttle really listens to you or how like my friend would described it.. it's an extension of my arm.. However recently I am having little doubts as I am prone to pull a muscle of two on my arm whenever I smashed too much or in some worse cases, miss-hit a smash... which brings me to my question. Do you think i should scale down a bit to 88pro? or maybe the 77? I play because I love the game.. not to compete and win tournaments.. So would it be even better for me if I switch to the nanoflare 700 for a more enjoyable overall experience? thanks : )

    I am thinking of buying the Yonex Astrox 100zz as a gift for a 40ish male friend of average 5’4 height; average build.
    I am not sure of his skill level or style of play. I just know he plays regularly 2-3 times a week committedly.
    What would you recommend the string tension to be? And do u think this is a good choice?
    I appreciate your advice and love your video review.

      Hellooo, it might be worth asking him directly of what he likes? If you're trying to keep it as a surprise, why not get the racket frame but keep it unstrung so he can have his fav strings strung?

      Hi,
      Thank you for your reply and advice.
      Yes, I am trying to surprise him but opting to string it so he can use it right away.

    CK, I believe you string 880D Pro, are you using Yonex 76 grommet pattern, A15 share hole is pretty small, I am not sure if that would be correct pattern to use, thanks in advance any advice.

    • @CKYew
      @CKYew  5 місяців тому

      On the 2nd gen 88D Pro, the A14 and A16 are shared holes, not A15.

    Hi CK I love your videos. I just got back into badminton after I stopped playing for many years. I’m using a 2U MusclePower 100 that I bought 20+ years ago. I used to trained daily and play tournaments with this racque so I’m very used to it. Now I’m older and not as active. The 2U MP100 is killing my shoulder lol. I want to upgrade my racquet but I have no idea which one is a proper upgrade to the MP100. I’m play mostly singles. I don’t know if there is one with similar characteristics but lighter in weight. Hoping you could give me some recommendations.

    I am totally agreed with you. After 1 year of playing with 100zz ,I just don't like to play with any other rackets. Bcz the touches that I feel with 100zz ,no other rackets give me that feelings. I just ❤️ 100zz ❤️❤️❤️

    Hi, hoping to get your advice. I haven't played for over 10/15 years and am looking for a used racket. I use to have an armortec 700 back in the day and I loved it. Is there an older racket you recommend that is similar? Perhaps an older version of the 100zz or something similar? Thank you

    at first i thought asx 100 zz had a lot of gimmicks to justify the pricing but after using it myself, gotta say its kinda justified. its supposed to be a head heavy racket yet there is something about it that can be played like a headlight racket (maybe due to the skinny shaft?) the only catch about it is it can be unforgiving when the shuttle contact is mistimed or mis-hit away from the sweet spot

    • @CKYew
      @CKYew  2 роки тому

      I agree, the 100ZZ is 'weirdly' very nice/easy to play with compared to how it is promoted as an extra stiff/very head heavy racket.

    This is my third time watching your video. I still can't decide if I want to buy 88s pro or 88d pro. I like to rotate in the court when playing doubles. Sometimes at the front, sometimes at the back. Or should I buy arcsaber 11 pro?

      Either of the 3 would be very nice to play with and I dont think you'll regret buying either 1 too!
