I’m not going to enter all of the element of body building, and many others, and many others, and many others.. that others might do, as you understand by now, I’m extra all in favour of how a racket performs, the way it feels, who’s it going to be for, and a bit of bit extra direct in that respect.
I don’t want to enter all of the minute element however let’s, let’s simply undergo one or two bits and items for you anyway.
So to start with, this has bought a stunning matt black end and inexperienced decals and appears completely excellent.
They’ve used a type of clear grommets within the type of throat positions right here within the U grommets, once more just a bit of completion seems to be actually, very nice.
It is a 4U G5 and as you’ll anticipate from the title of the racket, it’s going to be head heavy falls below the Astrox vary, which is at all times head heavy, it’s all about energy however there’s a pleasant type of medium flex in there as properly.
There are fairly a number of issues which can be value noting with this racket although, which can be very type of completely different. When stringing it extra single cross grommets down right here, moderately than the type of doubles that we are inclined to see.
Following on from the Astrox 88 type of wider cross grommets have been included once more, which I feel is sweet for stability that is additionally bought the type of two loop stringing sample which is acquainted on the Nanoflare 700 for example, and you’ll see in a short time that there’s a denser string mattress right here on the centre, which is precisely what you need, and a bit of bit more room in direction of the skin of the body, which is nice for aerodynamic functions and and a fantastic really feel on the shuttle as properly, as a result of that is the place your candy spot going to be.
So from that perspective, all is basically actually good G5 grip actually pleased with that on the premise that there’s a whole lot of gamers on the market who must construct grips up and it’s at all times higher to start out small and have the ability to construct from there.
And particularly as a result of there’s a whole lot of youngsters enjoying as properly and due to this fact that smaller grip will go well with being of their hand as properly moderately than the type of bigger grips.
So I’m an enormous fan of the truth that Yonex are bringing within the smaller grip sizes extra typically lately.
Often, as you in all probability know by now with Yonex, they they’ve numbers with their with their rackets, so once they carry out a racket with only a title, then it’s going to be barely completely different, whether or not or not it’s a particular version or that is going to be the subsequent stage within the evolvement of the Yonex ranges, we’ll have to attend and see.
However this isn’t made in Japan. It isn’t a excessive finish racket when it comes to the actual fact it’smade within the factories in Japan. That is made in Taiwan and it’s a extremely, actually good job, so don’t let that put you off in any respect.
It is a nice feeling racket, very a lot geared toward an intermediate to superior participant.
Really useful pressure, highest really useful pressure is 28lbs which is precisely what I strung this at with no issues by any means when it comes to the stringing and performs actually, very nice.
As you’ll be able to think about, you get the same old type of nice stiffness within the body this fashion, which is a trademark of Yonex that when you hit barely off centre, then it’s not going to have an excessive amount of of an influence in your shot.
So I at all times like that about Yonex and the truth that they make such sturdy frames.
However with this it’s additionally bought it’s additionally bought that feeling of of a bit of bit extra maintain vibration dampening is is a part of their promoting level and you understand often I don’t trouble with any of the type of gimmicky stuff however I’ve been utilizing this for fairly a while now.
I’ve hit a whole lot of shuttles with it, whether or not I’m feeding or warming up a participant. And it’s been a pleasure to play with.
After I first performed with it, I believed it was fairly a stiff body. Observed the top heavy immediately, which is one thing that I like however I believed it was a stiff flex and I used to be fairly stunned after I truly began to check it and came upon that there’s much more flex on this than I gave it credit score for, so I bought that one mistaken initially.
However hey, that’s okay. I’m human.
What is sweet about this, there’s a unique sound that comes off this racket while you hit the shot energy pictures from the again, then there’s a fully completely different sound to it. Sounds actually good.
Feels actually good, beautiful really feel on the string mattress itself.
In order that was a I wouldn’t say nice shock. It’s at all times good to have that and after I’m often utilizing one thing like 100 ZZ, then it is a nice comparability for it.
I might additionally say that it was fast.
It was fast when it comes to coming ahead hitting across the web.
It was fast in protection, however clearly not going to be as quick as one thing like an Arcsaber 7 Professional, which is a fair steadiness tremendous nice racket, which I’ll speak about on one other overview.
However for this I actually loved the texture of it. As I mentioned earlier than it type of ideas its head to the Lin Dan Pressure and type of additionally provides a nod to the Z Pressure II so any Z Pressure II customers on the market you would possibly truly fairly take pleasure in this racket when it comes to perhaps not fairly as a lot head weight, but it surely’s actually bought that really feel of it and never fairly as stiff, so it’s a bit of bit extra forgiving than the Z Pressure II ever was and it’d simply go well with you that little bit higher.
The truth that this isn’t a prime finish Japanese made racket as properly means it’s going to coming into extra the price range, mid mid-budget vary and I feel that’s going to be excellent worth for cash for for many gamers.
So when you’re enjoying league badminton while you’re enjoying to normal, you’re in search of a perhaps a subsequent stage racket, one thing that’s going to ship good energy however you don’t wish to spend the highest cash on on the type of Astrox 88 Professional or the 100 ZZ one thing like that then that is going to be completely spot on for you.
The value goes to be, I might say simply over half the worth of one thing like a ZZ.
For me, when it comes to nice hitting this racket delivered beautifully properly, very, very happy with it certainly. It’s fast. There’s bought sufficient aerodynamics in right here to make it fast contemplating it’s head heavy and it’s one which I’m going to maintain in my bag for a while.
I already produce other gamers which have examined it and one or two have already purchased
it off the assessments I’ve handled them, which is improbable.
That’s what it’s all about.
When after I do demo classes, get to play with the racket really feel it first hand and you understand whether or not you’re going to love it and also you’re not losing your cash then since you’ve already bought that feeling and understanding of the racket.
So there we go.
That is the Yonex Astrox Nextage, been a pleasure to check with this so because of Yonex for sending me this to demo it.
I hope you’ve loved this video.
I hope you truly get to check this racket and discover what I’ve that it’s a sensible racket and nice worth for cash.
And I’ll see you on one other video.
