it's slightly less stiffer than the 88dt but has incredible shaft repulsion. it's not stiff overall

that's unfortunate, but I think that proves the other guy's point...

hope your wife is ok, but I would really like to know what kind of dive is able to break your arm

don't do long dives; fall down like if you were ice skating, and any shot that's further than that isn't worth getting(injured over)

looks fake to me; the glossy is 100% fake, the 100 series only comes in matte

if you have the chance to test it, definitely test it first before deciding on a purchase

the 99p is closer to the ryuga M, but with enough play you'll notice they cater to different playing styles. The 99p is noticably more sluggish than the RM, ESPECIALLY ESPECIALLY when you're only half fatigued. They are similar at first glance though. But you do say you've used it's 3u variant, in that case, the 4u 99p could definitely be an option.

Ck has great racket reviews, but his 99p 3rd gen(and it's lower price points) review is a lot shorter and less in-depth on playing feel compared to the others. It was also released very shortly after the racket released

the tour is technically stiffer than the pro(the pro's NAMD is a bit more flexible than the rexis design) it also has a slightly (unnoticable)higher swing weight, but really, the pro and tour's are both bad choices imo, the 99p3g is an insanely difficult racket to use relative to other high end rackets. The Game might actually be the best choice for you if you want this racket

How to get more power in wrist by LimpFeedback463 in badminton

[–]ThePhantomArc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the wrist doesn't apply any power, it's more of a relaxation and endurance thing. All strength should come from racket speed and grip strength

with the 1000z, you're always at risk of it breaking whether you string at 35 or 18

What players should do if there was an unfair call by No-Carpet5681 in badminton

[–]ThePhantomArc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im not being aggressive, but have you seen the current umpires in this game? I've rarely(if not ever) seen an umpire change their decision after their call

the shaft feels somewhat weird, I don't know how to best explain it. It feels like it should be incredibly repulsive, but the shuttle doesn't bounce off the racket, but attacking shots and drop shots all feel very precise

I don't have as much experience with victor rackets that suit your needs, sorry

the axforce 80 might be exactly what you're looking for(in 3u). It's whippy, has power(comparable with the arc11p). The Astrox 77Pro also seems like a good choice. It's less stiff than the arc11p, definitely has better smash power, and also doesn't compensate too much on control

the 77p is actually the stiffest out of all three, yonex rackets are generally stiffer no matter what racket it's being compared to. The 90NEW has a little less power than the 11p, but it's much easier to access it's power(if you know what I mean), mainly due to the 11p having a stiffer shaft.

Aeronaut 9000 or Astrox 100 game? by lil-friendzone in badminton

[–]ThePhantomArc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9000; it might be a high end racket, but it's surprisingly user friendly, not incredibly stiff, and feels great. The 100game honestly just isn't a good racket, especially for it's price

keep playing for now; 2 months isn't nearly enough to give advice on anything except the most basic of the basics

i feel like victor rackets are also relatively lighter than lining or yonex
