I have had the similar experience with both Nanoflare 800 4u and Astrox 100zz 4u. Wanted something in between. Recently, switched to Victor Auraspeed 100x 4u, I really liked the overall feel and the power I could generate from this racket. Also, the drops are pretty amazing, something I really lacks with Nanoflare 800. It's really worth a try. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk
but switching from yonex to victor wont be easy, I tried my frnd's thruster F claw and instantly the frame felt more compact. I've decided to go for Ax88d pro 4u5 anyways
Arcsaber 11 pro is another good option now. If someone else is looking.... Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk
I wouldn't recommend the Arcsaber 11 Pro. It's an amazing racquet (one of my favorites right now) but it's nowhere near as repulsive as the AX100ZZ and especially the NF800.
I can relate to this. My favourite racquet is NanoRay 800 and I wish it was just a tiny bit stronger with smashes. At the end of the day, it's more down to my inadequate technique, or lack of focus during games. I did try an Astrox 100zz and it's still in my bags as a singles racquet. But it's more demanding on my shoulder and harder to manoeuvre during quick drive situations when compared to the nanoray.
