      badoemon All rounder

      I purchased 3 ug 6 and 4 ug 6. Since the original grew is also newer than the Astrox series, it reduces the burden on the shoulder and elbow, so I bought a g6 grip and left the former grease, but this is very good. Compared with the original grise of g5, better handling and shock reduction are compatible, so it is likely to become the standard of the future. As a personal impression, rather than for the head heavy hard hitter, it's a bit smashed to all rounder. The ball holding is very good, the height of the controllability is outstanding, and there is no doubt that you can drive with high rotation in the target area. I care about the weight of the head, can I master it? I think whether there are also people who are worried, but it is certainly okay. Since the racket itself is a very high-balance build, I think that I can concentrate on the game without feeling the burden on my body. I want to attach a firm angle to Smash. I want the smashing balls to be heavier and faster. I want to stabilize the receive. I think that it is a recommended racket for those who like to play such things.

      After using this racket, I personally feel that the 99 is easier to hit than the ZF2, which has a very low smash.

      Used since launch. Top heavy is easy to use, but if you use it for a long time, your shoulders will get tired. If you don't make a surface around drive, push and receive, you will make a mistake and it will float. Lobs, hairpins, cuts, and clears are stable and easy to hit. In the smash, the head holds down the shuttle on its own and sinks firmly. In my 4th year of using it, I got the best timing and learned how to hit a very heavy and fast smash. Both myself and the receiver were surprised. The meat feeling of this solid smash is addictive. I've only been able to hit it with a basic hit, but if this is decided in a game, I think it will get a lot of attention. Perhaps those who find 99 smashes to be more subtle than expected have not reached this feel. Still, it is not a racket that is so easy to use overall. 99 Pro is good for ease of use. I use the old style because of the feel and speed of the smash. The poor handling is covered by muscle training lol

    • To tell the truth, I want to switch to 99pro

      To tell the truth, I want to switch to 99pro (Experience:4〜5 years) Amazing

      I spend more than half of the time with this racket, but anyway, it is excellent in banging and control. Furthermore, the swing is also good, so you can move the racket quickly. However, since it is a heavy head, I do not recommend this racket for those who prefer a bed light or those who wrap a thick grip. On the contrary, it is recommended for single sprayers and those who wind the grip thinly. Especially since the head is heavy, the head runs when you shake it, and it is easy to hit clear. I also use it in doubles, but I can keep up with it even if it is deployed quickly, and I can also respond to drive exchanges. The recommended gut is EXBOLT.

    • Hideji

      Hideji (Experience:Less than a year) 99pro

      I started playing badminton about 10 times in parallel with tennis, but at first I used a cheap item with a catgut raised, but now I can enjoy the game moderately, and when I ask for a catgut change, it is sad that it is MAX 18 pounds. There was a notice and I decided to buy a new one. Since the tennis racket is heavy, it is rather difficult to handle if it is too light, so I chose 3U5G. Since tennis is at a decent level, it was better to judge (laughs) that the racket swing etc. was not beginners, it is much easier to handle than the introductory racket, and the overhead system is perfect. However, maybe the return of the head is too good, the head comes out earlier than the shuttle due to the receive of the smash or the return of the drop, and I missed it several times ... This is a matter of familiarity. The gut was raised for 25 pounds, but it may be a little harder. Perhaps it is a characteristic of the racket, there is a feeling that the shuttle bites, and I feel that the ball holding is too good. In the future, when increasing the variation of games and shots, I think that choosing a racket that matches the goal point from the beginning is one of the selection methods.

      Komagome Pipette (Experience:4〜5 years) The next best astrox after 88s

      The person who completely conquered the Astrox series. It is easy to use next to Astrox 88s and 88s pro, but its weaknesses are that it feels heavy when played for a long time and it is not easy to handle. Great racket for others.
