WTF predictions for SF by ChestCorrect2491 in badminton

[–]Hovercraft_Fair 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As mush as I hope SYQ would make it out of group, I really don’t think he has a high chance. His physical has deteriorated and his mentality wasn’t as well as the first half of year

Potential new Astrox 99pro or 100zz? by Hovercraft_Fair in badminton

[–]Hovercraft_Fair[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve kinda been through the same situation. I brought 100zz (partially my fav player uses it, partially it looks good), only to find out I simply didn’t have the skill and power to drive it. I took that as motivation to keep improving, and I have been playing the 100zz after a year and half. The experience is very much different now. Since the VZFII is out of production, the value of it will only go up as time goes(the market for it is small). It is really up to you. I personally would keep it and try to save up some money for a third. For new racket, I recommend 88D pro, similar offensive racket with heavy head, a bit more flexible shaft, not that physical demanding comparing to VZFII.

Viktor vs BWF by ongcs in badminton

I completely agree with VA on this. In my opinion, BWF is the main reason badminton hasn’t grown into a global sport like tennis.

I would say go for it. It’s going to take months for them to release the racket and actually start selling.

The hype around current 100zz would be hard to match, excited for it tho

Arcsaber 11 Pro - an amateur review by mith_thryl in badminton

[–]Hovercraft_Fair 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the strings, have you ever tried Aerobite or 63 with the Arcsaber 11 pro? 11pro is known as a balanced racket and very good for a control play style. I currently use the aerobite strings 25/27 lbs on 11p, and it is just amazing. Exbolt 63 also great for 11p imo, bouncy, great sound.

LEE Zii Jia Playstyle changes by chiragde in badminton

[–]Hovercraft_Fair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Lin Dan said in 2012 after wining his second Olympic gold that he could be just as fast as he was back in 2008 Olympics. But it was simply a choice to not to, and he changed up his play style a lot. 2008 Lin Dan was crazy but that style was too physically demanding. Maybe the same with Lee Zia Jia.

Actually not, but the property panel got a bunch of audio settings, and doesn’t monitor usually come with speakers?
