haha not in the states unfortunately, very few stores stock them and the ones that do are asking 200+
Yikes. You might as well ask us to ship a bunch to you from here. Sent from my LG-H930 using Tapatalk

This is my D8XP beauty used for singles exclusively. U3/G5 model, GR code. Own hybrid stringing job, 4 knots; main: bg-65 color light blue 27pounds, cross: bg-66 ultimax color white 28pounds. (normally I string with 2 pounds difference between main and cross, but since ultimax is thinner than than bg65 I have opted to only increase by 1 pound). Very solid racket and distributed feel. I have used it for two practices and looking forward to play more with it. Actually, I also have a brand new Astrox 99 4U in by bag, but speaking frankly, I feel much more attracted to play with this one. I would say the A99 4U is very good and plays fast and light, whereas the D8XP is more of a solid experience with a lot of power behind. Not that the A99 dosen't have power or feel, but the experience is just different. Although very early in the process, I would say that the A99 4U is better suitable for faster pace rallies whereas the D8XP just feels rock solid with a very pleasing feeling controlling the shuttles.
I actually don't think it's too bad. It's one of those rackets where the stiffness doesn't seem to hamper the power accessibility as much as others. Second taster session. Switched midway through a session to it. My loose shots suddenly tighten up and I was driving closer to the net. Power generation still not as good as N9ii, but appreciated the extra feel/solidness the 8XP gave me when I wasn't on top form. Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk
This isn't z series like stiff. It's not extra stiff. It is just plenty stiff and ample stiff. Anyone can adopt to it
How much does it cost? Can you send them your racket internationally? Is there a minimum racket order?
Hey, if there is anyone here who does not like his Duora8XP maybe we can trade? https://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/index.php?threads/lining-3d-calibar-900c.178011/
do you guys notice the difference between 2 profiles? do you know if you smash at the correct side or backhand at the correct side? I'm a little bit worried because I always spin my racket while playing XD (hello arc8dx brothers!)
Same here. Had the original D10 and 8XP. If you're using the wrong side in a rally, it's not going to suddenly feel massively different. You just feel a slightly solid hit (box side) or a bit more whip (aero side).
I can hear the difference when I swing around. Both sides make a slightly different swoooosh throught the air, but as mentioned before speed wise or in game you don't notice a difference. Don't worry to turn, through the different colour on the edges you can easily see if you hold it "right".
From my experience using the Doura 8XP and some of its stablemates from the doura range There is a noticeable difference between the two sides but it is not that significant to affect the way you use the racket.
