A5 is very similar in terms of feel to the js10. I didnt notice the difference in stiffness between the A3 and A5.
Ive not seen much info on P5 other than this https://www.badmintoncentral.com/fo.../adidas-badminton-racquets-2018.176494/page-5 I'm not sure if its an older model, its not on the chart ive seen but the specs look similar to P3 so it would be interesting to compare them.
Ho ho ho - christmas comes early this year & I got myself an A5. Strung w Aerobite 25/26, gripped with RKEP and ready for 3 hours maiden voyage tonight!
Unfortunately shop only have the AB red/ white. I ran out of string otherwise I'd have strung it myself!
I just notice the shop uses slightly different stringing pattern. Hope it doesn't affect performance. 7 more hours until play time Just realise I didn't post pics so here's a couple:
Just purchased my A3 the other day. Was meant to get the A5 but the wifey likes the color on the A3 better so... Both feels good on dry-swinging. Feels a bit boxy, slower compare to my 100zz 4U. Balance feels good, chunky cone though and a bit hard to tightly wrap it at the cone due to the square shape Sadly the next wave of Covid hits so I have not yet had time to test it out. Maybe will take it to do a little bit of flat drives on the back yard with the wifey
The A3 is a great all round racket. I'm surprised it feels slower than the 100ZZ 4u but I haven't tried that racket yet. From what you have said, maybe the A5 would have been better for you, its a little faster than the A3 in my opinion.
