    Hey guys! Im currently a happy owner of 3 Mizuno JPX 8.3 but due to it being out of production, i wonder if any of the astrox series will suit me given how widely popular it is. Since i play doubles with more preference to drives/counter attacking gameplay, i hope for one thats easy to manoeuvre yet powerful enough for back court. Any advices?

    Current rackets in mind
    • Astrox 88 S/D
    • Arcsaber 11
    • Nanoflare 700/800
    • Duora Z Strike
    • Nanoray 900
    • Other brands are fine too

    Strings im currently using are either BG65TI or Aerosonic at 24lbs. As for Mizuno JPX 8.3 specs, they are..
    • Stiff Flex
    • Balance of 295mm
    • Weights: 85g unstrung w original grip

    I would say 88d might be good choice, but it has higher balance than your mizuno and probably stiffer. Arc11 is great too. It never gets old. It should be stiffer than your mizuno though.

    From victor, I may suggest auraspeed90k which is stiffer and has similar balance (powerful and agile) or you may check new auraspeed 100x. New 100x sounds similar your mizuno and it will be released in a week. Also, I am enjoying js12ii a lot lately. It is powerful enough and very maneuverable (caution: it is js12ii not js12; js12ii is blue one)
