  • Finally, good carbon such as M40X is starting to be used around this racket. I think it's a good racket. It doesn't have any major features, but it's easy to use. It's like adding hardness to the performance of a position called the 7th racket at YONEX. I think it's pretty good that it has 5U. (It may have half-baked performance...) To be honest, I feel that the third generation Astrox 88D (Pro), which was released around March 2024, is better than that one, except for the design and other personal preferences, which is a bit disappointing. A side note. Chen Long used what appears to be an AX80 racket before retiring, but there is not much information about his racket (its contents) available at all.

  • (This is a commercially available product. It was probably manufactured in the first half of 2009.) It's quite head-heavy x 3U, so it's not for everyone. It's a power racket, but the shaft is soft and the feel is strange. The old Li-Ning rackets had a hard surface and the shaft flew the ball, and this racket is exactly that. I don't think it was intended, but like the Astrox, the shaft bends and the shuttlecock stays on the surface for a long time, so the smash sinks. The head is heavy, so the smash runs. It's fun to use, but due to the design concept and the carbon that is probably not very elastic, the feel of the shot is blurry and the bounce is not good. I usually string YONEX rackets at around 25, but even when I stringed this racket up to 28, the feeling was not similar. It still feels blurry. The CP version probably has a harder shaft, so I think it's closer to YONEX.
