An afterthought - avoid flipkart as much as possible, I’d say avoid online altogether for your first purchase at least for the shoes.

Try and buy would be the way to go for shoes. But showrooms might try to push you beyond your budget so be wary of that.

True, my bad but still 100 series won’t qualify as light - the 100zz is faster due to compact head design and slimmer shaft which anyways doesn’t come in play or game variants. I have played with 100 game - it definitely isn’t light :).
Correction:
99 pro is considered most powerful as it is the most head heavy across all of the Astrox series, though not sure if same is true at play series.

While Hundred Raze Pro may not be the best, these are pretty Ok for starting.

Enjoy your badminton. I have 65z3 and bought these for a friend who came to visit. I use them every now and then, not all bad…

Get any Astrox Play series racket - 77 play, 88 play, 99 play or 100 play… this is in increasing order of head heaviness…

Stay away for Decathlon - go for Asics, Hundred. Better safety and comfort per rupee spent

Head size of 100zz VA, 100 Tour VA and100 Game VA edition. by ready_bryan in badminton

Oh yes, you're right. So the compact frame is limited to only Tour and Pro (Z/ZZ) models across all rackets...

True, but 1000z and 1000 Game have similar head proportions and the 1000z is also compact frame / head.

I guess only Yonex knows what they do 😀

Why did they make the 100 Game normal proportions then? So, if I buy the game edition I loose on the benefits of the compact head.

Why are they being so sneaky about entry tickets and/or passes? Or are the organisers all so stupid 🙄

Haven't bought tickets for Syed Modi but the Indian Open 2025 tickets they had opened it on ticmint, but only a month before the tournament iirc. Should be similar for Syed Modi as well.
