User review

  • As expected of a SRIXON shaft.
    The shaft doesn't wobble, so you can place the shuttle exactly where you want.
    Repulsion is good, and since it's a head-light racket, maneuverability is good too.
    I'd always used YONEX rackets, but a shop I'm on good terms with recommended a demo racket, and I was impressed when I tried it.
    The standout feature really is the shaft that doesn't wobble.
    That said, it still flexes properly in the direction of the swing, which is excellent.
    A shaft that doesn't wobble means a stable racket face. That's the number one thing I look for in a racket.
    If you bend the shaft by hand, it feels fairly stiff. But when you actually hit with it, it doesn't feel that stiff.
    Best of all, nobody else has the same one (^^)

  • I think this racket is the masterpiece of the ASTROX line.
    What stands out is its great maneuverability and swing speed.
    The maneuverability is probably thanks to the 5mm longer length. Even though it's head-heavy, it swings as easily as a head-light racket. That too is probably thanks to the 5mm longer length.
    It's a racket I'd strongly recommend to rear-court players who struggle at the front, and front-court players who struggle at the back.
    I think it's a classic that combines the strengths of head-light and head-heavy rackets at a high level.
    It's discounted on sale, so being able to buy it cheaply is another plus.
