    Guys changed my mind. Astrox 99 is a f*c*ing beast. Go for it everyone.

    Played with it for more then 12 hours, and gotta say its just out of this world. No puns intended.

    Here you go... that's what I initially said for the AX88D.

    Like it has the features of both the D10 and the VTZF2. But now I feel that it is more than that.

    I hope the AX99 isn't as HHeavy as people say.

    Dude, u serious? I'm using ax88s 3u though. Do u know any diff between the 2? 88s 3u already considered not so friendly to me, how about 99??

    So u do recommend ppl to buy a 4u 99 instead of a 3u?

    If you can't handle a 3U 88S then definitely don't get a 99, 3U or 4U.

    In this instance. If the 88S in 3U is unfriendly to you then avoid the 99 altogether.

    Im seeing the avg weight for 99 and 88s on both 3u and 4u level on yonex site is the same though ... I assume both have the same feeling?

    What a reference based on weight you are making.

    A 3U/4U Nanoray 800 weighs the same as a 3U/4U AX99. What are you talking about?

    Feeling goes by balance, head weight, and stiffness. Not the "avg weight" of the item.
