    Is BladeX the series for their even-balance rackets?

    From my impressions with a 3U BladeX 200 it must be head light series.

    Unlucky wording, but they mean stiff and if I take the BladeX 800 for reference: stiff means here really stiff.

    I think that youtuber also recommended the NF800 and 88s pro as "easy to use/user-friendly" lol

    Interesting that Turbocharging 70 and 75 (Boost models) have the same stiffness rating of 8.5, but most people say 70 feels stiffer than 75. Maybe because 70 has a lower BP.

    Is there an updated table that includes the stats for the newer series like Tectonic and Axforce?

    I guess you mean the comparison between N9II (TC75) and N7II (TC70) which are different 8.5 and 8.3. This comparison was quite often here, so I think you read this here.

    anyone can compare n9ii/turbocharging 75 and axforce 80? I have the axforce 80 already and love it. I'm wondering if the axforce 80 is all round upgrade to the n9ii/tc75. If so then no need to get it. Or they are both high end rackets with different specs (even though one is older and one newer.)

    Axforce and Turbocharging series are completely different IMO. TB75 is a 3U slightly head heavy mid flex and super aerodynamic frame. Ax80 is a box frame 4U/3U Mid flex (whippy) head heavy racket.

    Comparison (Ax80 4U vs TB75 3U)
    Ax80 shaft is more flexible and whippier than TB75 (probably because of sh*t ton on tech they put in Ax80)
    Ax80 felt more solid than TB75 when smashing
    Ax80 is slower than TB75
    Ax80 got better defence
    TB75 is easier on clear
    TB75 got better smash (Ax80 smashing power is decent but I need jump to get better angle due to shaft flex)
    Ax80 better shot action shot (drives and netting)

    If you want an upgrade of TB75 then the new Halbertec 8000 is it. Halbertec 8000 price is super duper high but the feel are great.
    I got to try for 2-3 hr session would say that Halbertec 8000 is a good upgrade to TB75.

    Thanks for the comparison, seems like not much reason to buy the TC75. Interestingly I asked this in a chinese forum as well and someone also suggested the Halbertec 8000. (Prob not buying it at the moment, but maybe in future will consider it..)

    Axforce 80 (4U) shaft is 8.591, swing weight 85kg/cm², headweight dry: 37,5g
    TC75 shaft is 8.890, swing weight 90.8kg/cm², headweight: 37,7g

    How can a stiffer measured shaft be more flexible, and a racket with lower swing weight be slower? I understand that everybody wants to help, but sometimes no comparison is better than somebody's impressions.

    Ax80 is slower, but has better defense? How does that work?

    Where did you get those measurements from?

    From the above mentioned VNB and the Prochampion Sport Youtube channel.

    Some people see lifting of dropshots as an important part of defense and a heavier/meatier racket can be helpful in this area. Never the less defending also include various shots so it confused me as well.

    Axforce 100 making rounds in CN forum,
    https://bbs.badmintoncn.com/thread-2488040-1-2.html
    6.0mm shaft, seems shorter shaft long handle, 72 holes, fully recessed.

    nothing much else.

    Ginting leaked it long ago on insta, but can he carry a flagship the way he is playing ??
