Weight: 86.5g iirc the DUO10 3U had a swing weight of 86 Looks like the DUO10LT is not just a lighter DUO10 but the balance is also higher?
I meant the racquet weighed 86.5g Included it cause I remember reading here somewhere that swing weight is useless without context of the weight of the racquet.
Well, it is a 4U and you should also account for the plastic wrap on the handle. So subtract 1 to 1.5g. Sent from my SM-G965W using Tapatalk
Touché, well to eliminate any potential confounding variables here's a clip by EVER RACKET where both racquets tested on the same machine with the plastic wrap intact. DUO10LT 4U vs DUO10 3U both resulted in 90
I know it's a different swing weight machine from above, but in comparison a 4U TK Falcon on the same machine at Racquet Force is 86. So Duo 10 LT does seem to be only a tad less swing weight than its big brother Duo 10... thus bp may even be higher. Sent from my SM-G965W using Tapatalk
I got mine today D10LT dry weight 86.6gr (no string, original grip, plastic covering the grip) Final 86gr (strung with 66 force, original grip removed, 1 layer of thin transparent tape, overgrip ac102) Final balance point 312. Head weight 41gr Hope to test it tomorrow
Can anyone compare Astrox 88s 3U to Duora 10 3U?? I play double 60% and single 40% of the time, and usually stay at the back court (Smash). Thanks in advance!
I have 88S 4U, 88D 3U and my double partner has Duora 10 Blue and orange each. Astrox all the way, 88s are really good to play. I switched to Victor 3 years ago and now back to Yonex and am here to stay. for you, 88D 4U for double and 3U for single.
I bought a Doura 10 3U this summer to try something new. I had it strung with BG-80-power 26 lbs. It is a good racket for clears and control play but I did not find my normal smashing power with this racket. I did not get the timing 100% right. After playing for 6 sessions I went back to my old racket and felt a relief when smashing. I will keep the Doura 10 however and might try a new string setup in a few months time. My idea so far is that the BG-80 Power made it too repulsive so my plan is to try a softer string.
[QUE="Sundis, post: 2671724, member: 98380"]Do you have any string to suggest?[/QUOTE] BG80P is too repulsive for you? Weird, I used to strung it at 28lbs and didn't like it all, the hard feeling is meh compared to original bg80, very slippery, tension retention is bad and the string moves a lot. It was done by my favourite stringer so definitely is the string sucks. I share with you my experience of Yonex strings I played before. However, my experience may differ from others, readers discretion is advised. Below are strung at tension between 27-29lbs. BG66 - good repulsion, medium hitting feel, ok durability BG66U - excellent repulsion, medium hard hitting feel, meh durability, tension drop drastically BG66F - above average repulsion, slightly harder than BG66U, meh durability BG65 - ok repulsion, slightly soft hitting feel, excellent durability, took me forever to break it BGAS - excellent repulsion, excellent hitting feel and sound, but tension drop quite fast and the string breaks even faster BGAB - good repulsion, slightly harder than BGAS, everything is good until the tension drop BG80 - excellent repulsion, very hard feeling, good durability, advised to string higher than thinner string to get the best of it
