    Not even. Its more of AT800DEF and AT900T type of head heavy. Mild moderation but nothing killer.

    Ya 3u at 88gms is heavy for me... since its head heavy thought 4u wouldn't be a bad option

    Also Ch1k0 suggested 88s in 4u would not be a bad choice...just worried about stiffness..

    Compare to jpx ltd, how can you compare about which one is more heavy at head?which one more faster in defence?I know jpx ltd weight is more light compare to 88s, but is it 88s still feel light when swing even 89 gram?

    That's awesome to hear you're returning strong smashes with ease. Have you got the 3u or 4u?

    LTD is faster than AX88S
    AX88S is more heavy at head

    AX88S swing speed = moderate

    Hi,
    I normally play with the VT80ET or VTZFII (both 4U).

    Am wondering how does AX88S 4U would compare to both of that rackets?

    Anyone has the same setup? Thanks.

    Probably yes, but LTD is stiffer than AX88S and I think LTD still faster too

    JPX LTD should be quicker. That hybrid frame has superior aerodynamics to the box frame of the Astrox.
