    Are there any experience in comparing these rackets in the community?
    Maybe you can rate the two in the categories: Handling, Power, Control, Speed... or feel free to summarize in other focus?

    I have not used the auraspeed racket but I am familiar with the s pro

    Handling, control and speed are lovely for this racket (especially if you like “hold” feeling rackets)
    For me though; the raw power wasn’t there and I preferred the OG 88s in that category

    I've previously used to own two 88S pros as my main rackets. But have now completely switched to my Victor 100x and Auraspeed HS and feel like the Victor rackets are a significant upgrade from the 88s pro and have never regretted switching

    In what terms it is an upgrade?
    What did you get more or better from the ARS100x?
    Which string and tension do you play?

    I don't ever try ARS 100x.
    I only try Ryuga, TKF Enhanced, 88 dp, 100 zz

    I used to play with VBS 66n on my 88s pro but have switched to Lining No1. Both still 26lbs.

    IMO 100X has a faster whippy snap back when swinging. It's also faster in drives and defense. Smash might be a little softer because it's less headheavy but for a front court player like me. I doesn't really matter.

    agree... 100x is like a significant upgrade from 88s pro
    bigger sweetspot, forgiving misshit, more power ,more speed, easy defend, steeper smashes ,better control, easy on your arm, good maneuverability for deception.. if u want to hit harder from the backline use 3u and it's not tiring at all
