    Hi BCers,


    would like to know what you views are on those above mentioned racquets.

    I'm currently using a 4U Astrox 88D. I find that it is not exactly what Yonex said to be a back court racquet. Im a front court player most of the time, I find it quicker compared to the 88S at the front. I get better/steeper smashes with 88S rather than the 88D. With the 4U i find it easy to generate power but it hurts my arm, not sure if it's the stiffness or the head heavy-ness. I only string BG66um at 26lbs so i don't think it's the tension..

    My friends are telling me that the JS 11 is somewhere in between TK-F and JS10, and somewhat similar to bravesword 12.

    I'll be getting a JS 11 this week to try it and see if i'll like it.


    What would suit better for a front court player that doesn't smash much at back court but mostly at the front court? I defend more than attack, mostly setting up for my partner to finish and also a wrist base player more than arm.


    TIA

    JS 11 is good for the things you want. Check out the Li ning N7ii, its suited for front court players.
