Professional grade string used by Goh V Shem 0.66mm
I already have two of these and a friend was so impressed eith both racket and service ordered one.
I took to this racket in a blink of an eye I was quite surprised and thought there may have been a more difficult learning curve but for me this racket seemed almost perfect in everyway. This is very fast becoming my favourite racket to date. Seemed to be perfectly tuned for my playing style. Medium stiffness sees to it that this racket recovers fast. It is easy to manoeuvre during both single and double play and it's also fast enough slicing through the air like a light sabre. Works extremely well for all styles of play and racket technique I was so surprised at how well I could control the shuttle even right up close to the net I found returning smash downs whilst also controlling where the shuttle goes even easier that my trustee Arcsabre. I could get some awesome solid fast smashes. I absolutely love this racket and so glad I picked this up. Had a full two hour session which did not feel as worn down either. The racket is an all around winner in my honest opinion love the sound that comes off this racket very addictive.
I absolutely love the design language colour with the subtle hints of dark purple are my favourite.
I am really happy I bought the elastic air 73 also and that one is like lightning will do separate review for that.
The racket scores a solid 4.4 out of 5. While the build quality is decent, it doesn't quite measure up to models like the Felet TJ 1000. A few clashes revealed some lower-quality aspects of the frame, particularly with the paint chipping off. However, the racket's aesthetics are strikingly beautiful, making it a standout in terms of appearance.
In terms of performance, this racket excels in the front court. Its exceptional repulsion off the frame has significantly improved my ability to finish rallies, even with a backhand, in the front and mid court. The control at the net is outstanding, and the racket offers excellent speed, enabling fast reactions, particularly in overhead shots at the front court. Drives and clears are exceptional.
Defensively, the racket performs well in pushing the shuttle away, offering solid defensive capabilities in clearing shots. However, it falls short when it comes to blocking smashes with sharp, close-to-the-net returns, as it tends to push the shuttle further than intended. The racket feels light in hand, and while you can sense the head's presence if you hold it loosely, it lacks the stability found in models like the JPX series. This may make it slightly less reliable in tight defensive plays.
One of the standout features is its larger sweet spot, which I suspect is due to the 80 grommet pattern or the frame design. Unlike many modern rackets that opt for newer frame designs for speed, this model retains a traditional box frame yet doesn't feel sluggish in any way. It maintains a good balance between power and speed.
This racket pairs exceptionally well with performance strings like the 66 Ultimax or Aerobite. However, it does have its limitations in the back court. While it offers a solid smash, the shuttle tends to slow down when hitting from deep in the court, making it challenging to finish rallies from the backline. On the positive side, it offers the ability to smash multiple times continuously without making errors, unlike other rackets where you might need to switch to a drop or clear after one or two smashes due to being out of position.
This racket is excellent for both singles and doubles play. You can literally manipulate the pace of the rally in singles with this.
Overall, this racket is a formidable option for players who value control, speed, and repulsion.
Racket feels a lot like a venom I, easier to play. Even If it's lighter, feel like the smashes are more powerful, may be more whiping effect. Doesn't feel flexible to me, more medium flex. At the net.... amazing, as you can expect with the weight. Really pleased with the value for money. Strings are rubbish, needs re stringing.
Received the racket faster than I thought, very happy and you guys are very helpful with my inquiries. Thank you
Even though it had delays in delivery due to stock issue, customer service was very helpful and upgraded ordered item.
Nice, lightweight flexible racquet. Great for a girl. I enjoy playing.
Before I begin, I will say, as a Yonex/Li-Ning racket user, I struggled to get on with this racket initially. This was mainly due to the non-isometric racket head shape and struggled to hit the "sweet spot".
However, that being said, and with some perseverance; once I got used to it, the astonishing performance of this racket shone.
The racket head is fast, and the power it generates is surprisingly good, clears easily hit the baseline both forehand and backhand, drives are fast and crisp, smash power is good (better than the Kawasaki H2 and the windstorm 72s, possibly even more than the 74 also). Frontcourt skill shots are easy and defensive drives and blocks are great, power and control.
If I had to note an area which is less good, I would say defensive lifts/flick back take a little more force to get them full length off a smash; mainly due to the stiffness of the shaft, but I can live with this, when balancing against the attacking shots. Drops and smashes are fantastic, and the angles and power you can generate is surprising for a lightweight racket.
I agree with the rave reviews for this racket, 10 out of 10 for me... possibly will invest in a few more.
I have placed order multiple times & I have received my package and product at correct delivery time with good packaging and good fast communication by seller, looking for long time business with the seller
Really good racket with lots of power and control. Net play is easy too. A bit heavier to swing than your normal 4u rackets but still defense is good enough. Not the fastest racket on front court but really good on rear court. I’ve tried alot of rackets from yonex but this gave me the best smashes.
