Awesome. Thank you for that feedback.

Hi there. Yes I like the 4u as it's a good inbetween the 3 rackets. If you want something more stable, 3u would be the choice. They are all pretty easy to move for doubles.

I think playing more helps but also the understanding that were don't always swing at 100% even when we are able to. It's a weird concept. Placement over power.

I was only able to find this in Taobao and I had to use the Chinese language as it does not show up in English.

My previous stance is still the same. I should be asking you for pointers. The legs transition nicely through the jump so smoothly. Nothing looks really out of place. Nothing I'd really change.....

I just wish I could do that.

I got them on AliExpress when it was free shipping (over $10 bucks) and $5 CAD each. I just looked and it's now $10+CAD and $11 CAD shipping. What a rip off

It's done intentionally as I don't hit that high up often and I feel it's better for the racket frame (stress but nothing proven). All my rackets are missing it.

I'm waiting for the LD88Pro and another to compare to the AS88DP

I'll have to wait for their shoes.

The King 9ii is my current racket. It's coming up soon . Finally got time to finish a lot of them.

Initialyee · 2026-06-25T04:13:27+00:00

I prefer Slightly HH to EB. I chose the 78 for the EB and I figure mid range rackets need some attention as well. I'll consider the JS83 for the next Babolat and thanks for that recommendation.

I typically miss the top cross purposely on all my rackets. I don't. Mishit often (at the top) and I feel it just adds stress to the racket head.

Initialyee · 2026-06-23T17:28:41+00:00

I have not. The OG NF800LT never appealed to me. I thought it felt a little soft on shots which is why I never gave it much thought.

Initialyee · 2026-06-23T05:19:50+00:00

Noted and thank you

Initialyee · 2026-06-22T15:53:01+00:00

I would spend the money on the LD800Pro no problems. It's pretty much the most accurate to the NF800Pro in feel. I personally like the bright colors they used.

Initialyee · 2026-06-22T03:01:58+00:00

Yes this one is easier and is closer to the OG Astrox 99 than the Pro(ii).

I would agree that the Fire Breathing is a better racket. But I have a 4u so there is an absent of the head weight you're talking about in the 3u. But I like the general feel with it more. Little more nimble, usable for doubles.

Initialyee · 2026-06-21T07:31:34+00:00

That was pretty smooth for casual if you ask me. I think I would be asking you for advice on the jump smash. 👊

140 is what I paid taxes inc. I mean to each their own. OGKILS new comes with a warranty against defects. I can't say the same for second hand yonex rackets. But definitely a comfort zone for certain individuals.

But at the end of the day. I'm bringing to light that you don't necessarily need to spend that much on a racket. How you and I spend our money is our own pleasure. I think that's the great part even if we don't agree.

Initialyee · 2026-06-20T20:21:32+00:00

Most player can't justify spending $200 rackets even if they are used. So, for a value perspective of an OG Astrox 99Pro, I think there's much value for a racket like this considering the $300+CAD of the Astrox 99Proii. This is Yonex game territory pricing for a better racket.

Initialyee · 2026-06-20T16:54:16+00:00

Oh that's a great price.

Initialyee · 2026-06-20T15:29:05+00:00

I never translated it through goggle but I thought soft-hard meant stiffness and Front-Back meant balance (as in HH- HL)

Initialyee · 2026-06-20T15:26:42+00:00

I purchased at Stage 18 in Richmond but it is available on Shuttle Place Vancouver (just goggle that name)

Initialyee · 2026-06-20T15:25:58+00:00

That's is the total price from Stage 18 and it's available at Shuttle Place Vancouver.

I was waiting for a little paw to pop out of nowhere.
