Hi CKYew, what's your opinion about Babolat XFeel Origin Essential and Lite racket? Also how does it compares with Yonex Arcsaber 11 Tour/Play Context: I am an intermediate doubles player and still can improve my smash technique. Looking for even balanced rackets to be able to hit effortless clears from the rear of the court as well as net control and decent smashes.

It would be great if you could review Mizuno badminton rackets too some time soon, maybe after you recover. Get well soon! 🤜🏻🤛🏻

If possible, Can you do a video on Exbolt 65 VS Aerobite review please ? Thank You

You should try Babolat X-Feel Blast 2021 but you have to properly string it since it have unique pattern.

Do you have any plan to review astrox 77 pro/tour/play? Can't wait ur opinion about it.

Hi sir, pls suggest which racket is best Babolat and Head budget bracket pls suggest..

Hi CK, I am hearing a lot about Jnice, Black panther and elastic air, can you please review them?

I truly agree to what you say about the Nanoflare 800LT. As an intermediate casual player, coming from an Astrox 88s Gen 1, the 800LT is definitely lighter and faster. It will make you feel quick and agile in your movements along with your attacks, drives, and counterattacks. However, I also agree that it lacks raw power compared to the 88s and probably has a little bit more mishits due to the smaller frame (which may contribute to a smaller sweet spot?). Sometimes the control is also a bit unstable compared to the 88s and timing with the 800Lt would be an acquired taste. Overall, this great if you want to feel light with your racket and you will not feel tired playing with especially for fast paced doubles. This is why, I asked you, CK Yew, once in your other video which was a better slightly-head light racket comparing the Nanoflare 800, Astrox 88s Pro, and the Arcsaber 11 Pro. Since then, I am still searching for a quick racket that have better power for smashes and deeper clears and something that wouldn't make you feel easily tired. A racket that is good for fast-paced doubles but versatile enough for tactical, controlled singles. Thank you very much for this video. I have narrowed down my choices. Hope to see you recover from your injury smoothly and completely. Also hope for more great videos like this stored for us. ❤

Try adding a bit of lead tape at the 12 o'clock position to increase the head weight. You'll still have a very fast racket due to the thinness of the frame and shaft but a bit more weight for the power shots. I have 4 grams of lead tape on my 800LT and it becomes a super fast slight head heavy 4u racket that packs a decent punch but it does not lose much of its original speed. It is truly the best of both worlds!

I think that generally, the victor rackets are far faster than their yonex counterparts (I've not tested any li ning). This doesn't necessarily make them better (they don't feel as solid and power generation is not always as good) but the extra speed definitely suits me. The ars 90s is probably the fastest racket I have used but it was so head light that power generation was difficult.

Regardless of the racket weight I don't think any of Yonex and Li-ning rackets are as fast as the Bravesword/Auraspeed/Jetspeed series from Victor simply because of their "Sword / Diamond" shape frame, the speed you can generate in flat exchanges from that frame are unmatched.

​@@suryaprasad424 To simply categorize the range. The "Bravesword (BRS) / Auraspeed (ARS)/ Jetspeed (JS)" are head light to head balance rackets WITH a diamond shaped frame, I would say they are kinda similar to Li-ning Turbocharging series but personally the frame of those 3 from Victor gives better "cut/speed" through the air when swinging. The "Drive" or "DX" are the head balance rackets with a combination of Diamond, Conical, Box shape frame, similar-ish to the Arcsaber series. The "Thruster" or "TK" are head heavy range, basically Astrox/Voltric series from Yonex. For pricing I don't know what you can get because racket prices are different for each country.
