    The flagship model of the AXFORCE series

    A luxurious design inspired by the Qilin (Kirin), a sacred beast of Chinese mythology.

    Features an ultra-thin 6.0mm shaft that enhances speed, power and control precision. The synergy of a heavier head balance and the ultra-thin shaft enables higher-level offensive play. Ultra-high-modulus carbon is used in both the frame and shaft, along with vibration-absorbing material for stable shots. The frame is designed with a [BOX WING FRAME] shape for a stable frame structure that maximizes accuracy when hitting the shuttle.

    • Hmm

      Hmm （Experience：4-5 years） Feels like ASTROX 99 PRO and 100ZZ added together and divided by 2

      Both the frame and shaft are just stiff. The solid feel is like the 4U 88D PRO. However, I felt it's hard to keep up with sudden reactive movements like consecutive drives or receives.
      I strung one with 66 FORCE and one with ULTIMAX, each at 25 lbs, and used them in actual play, and I thought 66 FORCE was better. Giving the racket a slightly softer feel makes for good harmony and a setup that's easier to control.
      On the other hand, the one strung with ULTIMAX has a really quick shuttle release. Smashes are slightly faster than with 66 FORCE too, but since there's no coating on the string, cuts, hairpins and drop shots are hard to hit. I recommend stringing it softer.

      Conclusion: if you use the 99 PRO, 88D PRO, or the VOLTRIC line, this is a racket I'd like you to try.

    • Both my racket and my chair are Duora

      Both my racket and my chair are Duora （Experience：4-5 years） Thin shaft × high-modulus carbon

      As the title says, the thin shaft and high-modulus carbon really stand out.
      For a 6.0mm shaft, face stability is pretty good. Not as good as the 100ZZ, of course.
      The thin shaft flexes, but maybe because of the high-modulus carbon, it snaps back right away. Personally I think they focused too much on high modulus. I'd like it to have a bit more of a lingering, sticky feel.
      I think people who love the ASTROX in particular will feel they want more of that lingering feel.
