You have a 4U TK Falcon too right? How's 4U 88D is compared to it? Reason I ask is I'm loving my 4U TKF too. Sent from my SM-G965W using Tapatalk
I rather the 88D honestly. It's more solid, more powerful, and defends perfectly fine. I've never found myself wanting to go back to the TK F really.. Sent from my LG-H930 using Tapatalk
Uh oh, knew I shouldn't have asked. Now my wallet is gonna shrink a bit because of it. Do you have both head weight measurements? Tks. Sent from my SM-G965W using Tapatalk
Unfortunately no. I've benched that 3U TK F piece so I can't get readings on it. Sent from my LG-H930 using Tapatalk
Benched? Not 3U, I was curious about the head weights of both 4U 88D and TKF. Sent from my SM-G965W using Tapatalk
I never owned a 4U. Benched yes. Strings cut and hanging there for posing. Sent from my LG-H930 using Tapatalk
I dont get this at all. I have never been able to quiet master the ZFII cause of its head heaviness. Yet, AX99 is my favorite racquet and like 99% of you guys are saying its more head heavy then ZFII. And in case you were wondering,my racquet is 100% authentic and 3U G4
Personal preference. You've found the Holy Grail. Whatever you want to call it. It just so happens that the racket fits you perfectly. If I had one racket I truly disliked from YY it would be the LDF tbh. I think it's well made. I just don't find it performs well. I'd take a VT80 any day over it if I wanted that spec.

Naannnnn The Yonex peeps got used to producing two typd of Astrox rackets since 77 and 88. They've wrongly clicked on an icon on their super computer and the machines have been producing two version of the AX99.
Yes. I once had a string break on a session with no frames left, a friend lent me his 4u zf2 to use, and I was able to use it (albeit not at my best) for the remainder of the sesh. This, while I was using 3U 70ETN as my main so I was still able to do something with the ZF2... Sweet spot is noticeably lower on the AX99 than other frames, for that bang I hit it on the level where the grommets start to recess into the frame moving up. And the tester I tried was on 66UM.... can't believe how much heavier it would be with 80, for example...
We should start asking people to post weights, possibly with no grips or factory grips. We can see for ourselves whether this QC issue is so real. Of course we can't check whether the head heaviness varies, but we gotta start somewhere. Racket (3U or 4U): Grip size (4G or 5G): Weight (specify grip or lack thereof): Country code (ex. JP, SP, IP...):
We could. But they would need jewelry scales to do what I did accurately. Sent from my LG-H930 using Tapatalk
I think if the weight differences are so minuscule that you need jewelry scale to see the variance, then there really isn't a QC issue.
This is how it should be done, if it were to be attempted. (I dont have any retail knowledge) Unstrung Same racquet(model) from same batch (shippment) At least 15 racquets - preferably 25+ Same method on same day 3 times per racquet - averaged into 1 time all 15 averaged times averaged again
I think his point is that jewelry scales have the decimal place. Sometimes you have no idea if you have a "low" 40 headweight(40.2g) or a "high" 40 headweight(40.9g).
Do we have any retailers here? I know the BadmintonCN forum had a shop that weighted a few and said the weight differs quite a bit
