dear badminton pals I am currently using nanoflare 700 Looking to get either the Astrox 88s or the AUraspeed 90s Mostly likely will be staying with 4U. Are these 2 rackets similar? anyone who played any of the above rackets? can kindly share some comments? Thanks in advance
I have both rackets but in 3U. My personal experience is the 88s is stiffer, more head heavy, and better at smashing. The 90s feels a bit more flexible, faster, and easier to use.
90s is more like nf700 than 88s. For my experience, 90s has better smash than nf700; it is bec, 90s is more allrounder with emphasis on speed while nf700 has more emphasis on head acceleration and more headlight compare to 90s. 88s, on the other hand, power racket with emphasis on control around net and speed. So, basically 90s will be faster and might be easier to control while not suffering much from power that much; however, you can get more power from 88s, while not suffering from speed that much. Personally, I really enjoy 90s and like it much more than nf700 as I sold my nf700 after I used 90s a while, but if you want something different you can go 88s, bec 90s and nf700 is similar. Note: all of them are 4u ofc Cheers
What I could add owning a 88S 4U and a 3U 90S is as a 3U 90S you get just as much if not better power AND speed vs a 4U 88S AND it’s easier to play still! Only reason I would go with the 88S is if you find the 90S too flexible. But to me it was fine. Would rather it be just a tad stiffer but 88S was nearly too stiff for me.
