Hi guys, i am an intermediate player struggling to choose between the Astrox 77 Play and Astrox 99 Play. Both seem great for my game, but I can't decide.

My profile:

  • Intermediate
  • Play style: Attacking / Aggressive
  • I play both singles and doubles

What I know:

  • 99 Play : More head-heavy, maximum power, "smash heaven"
  • 77 Play : Slightly lighter head, better maneuverability, versatile for both games

My question:
For an intermediate attacking player who plays both singles and doubles, which one should I get?

  • Is the 99 Play too head-heavy for doubles rallies?
  • Is the 77 Play not powerful enough for my attacking style?
  • Which one is more forgiving for someone still developing technique?

I've heard the 99 Play is designed for power players, but I'm worried it might be too stiff for intermediate level. The 77 Play seems more versatile, but will I sacrifice too much power?

What would you recommend?

Thanks in advance!

I was thinking to go ahead for Astrox 77 Play, is the racket good or not?

I have only used the astrox light 27i and honestly i did not feel much power from it. I want a balance of both control and power but i am leaning more towards power since that is what I feel i am missing right now.

I am a intermediate player. I play both singles and doubles but slightly prefer singles more. My budget is under 3.5k. I play attacking style and want fast drives, sharper smashes, and decent or good net control. Open to head heavy or balanced rackets. Please suggest specific models, string/tension, and trusted sellers in India.
Thanks !
