I don't have AX88S for comparison. AX88D 4u review is : The best part of this racket is drive and flat clear. It has decent initial speed together with the best control & distance. Drop, slice, & Net can also be controlled at very high precision. Half smash is Energy-efficient But, Full power smash is not up to the best group. To confirm this, I changed a new string yet same result. NBG98 31lbs -> Ion65 30lbs It's best for singles & doubles ( if you don't count on smash a lot ) Drive Control & Half Smash are excellent. Overall, I would recommend AX88D 4u. It has everything required to win. But, if you are looking for some big hammer, it's not a go.
hopefully can see full comparison on 4 models, 88S 3U vs 4U vs the D 3U vs 4U soon! but maybe in dream
Not really. You can give your wallet a reaaal workout before you work out your new frames on court. Hahahaha. But honestly, spoke to someone with 3U 88D. Bit too slow and hefty in the head (for commoners I suspect). He was saying, just use it as a training racquet. I lol. Technically 88D is (on paper) is the new VT80 so using the logic of anything VT80 and above I wouldn't want to wield a 3U, it kind of makes sense. Too sledgehammer. But I'm weak. There are others that love their 3U VTZF2 so who am I to say on a general level?
Hi, im interesting with the AX88S 3u The review are still good till now Anyone here knows the differences between ax88s with the js12 3u ? I used to play with the js for almost 5to6 months Is it like an even balance or slight HH ?? thankyou
Ditto. Actually there are many reviews here for the 88s 3u and 88d 4u. Hopefully someone can review the 88s 4u soon... Please
I bought a 88S 4u for my friend and hence can make a comparison. ---------------------------------------88D-----------------------VS----------------88S : Shuttle initial speed----------Very fast-------------------------------------Super Fast Shuttle Hold time-----------Shorted than Arc---------------------------Even Shorter Shuttle Travel distance------Super Long ----------------------------------Normal Front Court Performance-----Stable-------------------------------------Super Fast Mid Court Performance--------Excellent---------------------------------Excellent+ Back Court Performance--Acceptable( smash )-------------------Poor ( smash ) --------------------------------Accurate (Drop & Slice)------------------ Sharp ( Drop & Slice) Stamina Drain----------------- Front Arm-------------------------------------- Fingers Defence-----------------------Easier to clear ------------------------- Easier to make tricks
Would be interested to know the difference between 88D & 88S vs Voltric LDF in 3U..or at least 88D vs Voltric LDF in 3U..
Both 88D & S didn't perform well in smash. I think this NAMD shaft is outstanding at 10-70% Power (55 for 88S maybe). for 70 - 100% power, traditional rackets performs better (60-100% for 88S maybe)
I find you rating in percentage a little confusing,, your 70% may be my 100%. Are you saying if you have a powerful smash they will not suit,? And visa versa if you have a weak smash they are perfect? Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
that is interesting, and i think i know what you mean. I have a 77 4U right now and i like it a lot, but i do feel sometimes that a standing quick smash is more powerful then a full jump smash. Could be a recurring characteristic of the Astrox range.
Yes If your style is like Machine Gun, AX series is a good weapon. If your style is like a canon, than you might be disappointed. Some people can switch between this 2 modes, than it's fine either way.
I've scaled through this entire thread. Any comparisons between the 88D or 88S and the Z Speed, in terms of headweight and stiffness?
I am N9ii and AX88S user. I bought 4ug5 with lining no. 1 @26lbs. Only playing in Doubles. In my opinion : Drive : AX88S>>N9ii Defense : AX88S>> N9ii Netting : AX88S> N9ii Smash : AX88S <N9ii Drop shot : AX88S>>N9ii Lob : AX88S>N9ii Accuracy : AX88S=N9ii This is not demanding racket and very easy to use even the specs says its a stiff racket. Now I am tempted to buy a AX88S in 3U maybe it has more punch without sacrificing the speed . Or Mizuno JPX Ltd 3U. I read some good user review and want to test if really fast that can generate decent smash. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
