Hi, i am planning to buy Yonex Doura 77 i play forehand/backhand in front of the net. please suggest me about the experience ?
It's a decent medium flex, even balanced racket, I had it with BG65ti 25lbs. Some comments: Drives from mid court are powerful and stable. Net shots are good, Clears, smashes, and drops are decent. Although it's an even balanced, you can still feel a bit head weight, so the accuracy is satisfactory. Defense is quite easy and fast. IMO, I did not remember that much of the difference between two sides of the racket, but there is definitely a slightly different feel when hitting with each side. After all, it is a great racket for its price, I think it leans towards the doubles than singles. Just sharing my experience. Good luck!
HI, Thanks its really helpful and informative! This Doura77 intermediate or advanced racket? this rackets have 26lbs (recommended lbs), can i put up to 28lbs ? i would like to use BG80POWER, Hard feeling string as BG65Ti i like defending and net play in doubles, i hope this racket can move easily to any sides too
It's a beginner/intermediate racket. I have not strung it above 26lbs, but if you should not string it above the recommended lbs if you wish to use up the warranty duration. BG80P or BG65Ti is your own preference. Doura 77 delivers quite well, no significant downsides. OMI, I would get the Lee Chong Wei version since the original version is quite "sad" gray color. Have you considered any other ranges or brands? If your budget permits, you could look at some other feasible options: Arcsaber 11: great control, stability. Accuracy at its finest. Quite stiff racket. Victor Bravesword 12: fast frame, easy to use, very good at defending. Although it has been on the market quite some time, many club players still choose it.
i am using voltric z force(BG65 soft feel) since 2013, its light weight,isometric shape, balanced racket still good condition. i ordered already online last week, Doura 77 is dual side optimized for forehand and back hand. i hope this racket is suite for my way of play style.i like its color grey and rose shade colors. there is LCW edition also but mine is normal racket,medium stiff.i hope this will be a long last racket too by its spec.
