    I tried yesterday for 15 minutes King K9 and despite the fact that my knee is hurt and that strings were bad (it was test racket), this racket is so forgiving/friendly to play that I bought it immediately for my wife and I will use it from time to time. I normally use very stiff rackets (now ZF2 4U) but this was first flexible racket that I liked a lot. It is very flexible, but not in bad way. I liked it much more than LiNing Aeronaut 9000 because it is faster and more forgiving.
    I tried yesterday Kawasaki Master 900 too. It is very good racket, more stiffer than K9, but much more for advanced players, not very user friendly.
    Kawasaki K9 is good for smash but you cannot compare it to Yonex ZF2, because ZF2 is for me best smashing racket that I tried.
    K9 is much more user friendly than ZF2 and more user friendly than Aeronaut 9000.
    In few days I will get Astrox 100 ZZ and as my knee will be better, I will make test for booth 100 ZZ and K9.

    Hello
    Thanks for reply
    Did u use 3u or 4u version..???
    How about control..??? As flexible rackets are not good at control
    What about smash potential..??? Compared to z force 2 , is power difference huge or nearly same ..???

    Hello, this is my first time asking question in this forum. I would like to buy a new racket. I already have 2 yonex badminton racket and I'm planning to buy another one. Both of my racket weighs 80g and with maximum string tension 28. Any recommendations with maximum tension of 30 and weighs between 80-85g?
    Thank you :)

    Regarding the string tension, is it recommended if upon buying for example the apacs blend duo 88, I will put the maximum string tension it can hold or I will just put first a lower tension?

    Im not a beginner, i just want to know some recommendations more coming from a person who is more expert than me. I have trained already but now i stopped. I just want to ask some experts for any recommendations since this is my first time in this forum and I would really appreciate any recommendations in order to gain more knowledge and soon I can choose on my own

    doesnt mean to disrespect you & sorry if you feel that way.
    But if its true that you are a beginner (tho nothing wrong being a beginner as we all start as begineer to) & i suggest you a stiff & head heavy racket, that would put you more harm than good. Dont want you to get any injury my bro.

    for start as you already own 2 racket.
    Tell us what are those 2 racket & then tell us what you feel from those 2 racket. To light, not quite give a punch, kinda slow on defense, etc.

    Going just for weight & max tension is kinda unclear. Head light racket & head heavy racket in the same weight will feel totaly different. & why max tension, do you use any specific high tension? Or just like me wanting high tension racket to ease up my mind abit thinking it would survive better on clash.

    King K9 is a beast. Very good. Does anyone know about Li Ning 3D 300C. Is it any good?
