Very comfortable to
Wear I love it recommended
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.
Broken racket
Hi not really sure what this has to do with us, it is evident from the video a lot has gone on with this racket, the strings have clearly been cut and the racket has been well used, this type of fracture is normally related to a collision or inexperienced stringing. This racket was supplied to us by Yonex UK in case of any doubt.

This racket is really fast and REALLY maneuverable. Rear court smashes were ok, nothing special. From mid court you can change the pace easily and get good smashes. I felt this racket is a bit on the flexible side of the medium stiffness and quite wonky feeling. Easy to do drop shots, net play was easier for me. It really does feel like a 5u so if you want more solid feel then go for a 3u. Backhand shots are super easy with this. My blocks went out easily when I tried to block smashes to the sides. This could be the different strings or more flexible shaft than on my previous one. Overall 4/5.
Very friendly and professional. Quick to respond and resolve any queries immediately. Very helpful and highly recommended.
Breaks easily
