    I get 4U version.

    I did my first time wih Axforce 80 yesterday. I think it's too early to judge, I had a lot of difficulty playing, especially in the short game.
    I think it's too early to judge, I had a lot of difficulty playing, especially in the short game. On the other hand, I found it much easier to place the shuttlecocks on the lines instead my old AX66. It's normal, on paper, the Axforce is medium and less flexible than the AX66.

    I still want to try the Kawasaki King K9...

    Kawasaki King K9 4U is not longer in production as per there official store in Ali express. Badminton Racket Review rates Honor S9 to be better than King K9 in all aspects except control. Just FYI. I haven't tried either.

    I did not play K9 but compare it with S9 in the shop.
    K9 has definitely softer shaft. In the shop manager said me that K9 has very good reputation (more durable compare to S9) and very respectful smash.
    But I choose S9, it is beautifle and has very pleasant swing.

    i heard that k9 is similar with victor 90F

    the racket is very fast in front and you can still get the power in rear court
    it's because 90f shaft is flex, quite similar with k9 i heard
    go try for it and give us your impression of that racket :))

    New feedback of Axforce 80 4U version...

    I fall back into the crosses when I have a heavy head racquet. Without putting force with my arm, the shuttlecock goes outside very often.
    I am however with a not very powerful string (Li. Ning No.5) with my original tension.

    Since I'm looking for a second racquet, should I go for a neutral head ? With powerful string or not ?

    Axforce 80 has flexible shaft which deliver strong catapult effect for medium strength shots.
    You should accommodate for this effect. (S9 has the same feature) Put your aiming point down...
    In general, take you time.

    I would still keep HH racket. Probably try not so repulsive (T7 could be good choice).
