    My current favorite racket is Astrox 88D. If this is better than 88D in maneuverability, speed and power, then I might be interested. Some reviews out there seems to point to this at least based my interpretation of their conclusions. But then again, might just be my wish for a new 88D variation :D

    This review made it seem like the ZX and ZZ are completely different rackets. :eek:

    At this point in time all we have is conjecture due to our only details being fed to us by mostly what seems to be Yonex fed sources. For all we know it could very well be 2 different rackets despite what they're trying to achieve. We can only know better when it finally comes out in 2 weeks time.

    I don't understand though the chart says ax100zz is as head heavy as vltf2 but they are saying it's not powerful!!!!

    All I hope from the 100zz is that it is slightly less HH than the 88D with slightly more flex and the hyperslim shaft. In theory I need that.

    But in practice I have tried other rackets of my friends but I can't seem to find any racket which I like more than my 88D 3U.

    I hope people here can make comparison between these two 100zz vs 88D.

    I don't think it's gonna be head light!!! I will cry if it is because i just ordered it for having a head heavy balance. I have ordered 34g4!!
    Don't know what is gonna happen!
    Watched a lots of reviews still don't know about this clearly.
    Different review different feeling :(

    It all comes down to you and your playstyle.

    I found personally that the latest review was informative because I have a similar playstyle than the guy. However, it can be different to other people

    Haha there is conflict in reviews from PDHsport and Volant Wear above.

    PDHsport says 100ZX is more flex and more forgiving than 100ZZ.

    But Volent Wear says 100ZX is stiffer and more powerful than 100ZZ and suggest 100ZZ for frontcourt and 100ZX for backcourt.

    Let the confusion begin :D

    I think Paul has the more consistent review. Like he said it is a stiff racket but it flexes nicely.

    This is the same for Duora10 and AX88D.

    Judging from last night all England game which Endo was using. It seems like his shots are much faster with a touch.
    However his smash seem not as powerful compare when he was using Z strike. That's my observation.
    Will see tonight how VA use it.

    Base on all video review, I think 100zz is a bit lighter head compare to 88D, ax99 and zf2.

    For now,
    Akane Yamaguchi, Hiroyuki "natsumi" Endo, and Viktor Axelsen.

    First wave first tier players first and all have "unboxing" experiences on video, or text/pics.. lol
