Man, this review is an absolute service to the community. Crazy high production quality - angles, editing, lighting. Weird to say, but for a racket review, this has so much rewatchability lmao. Not only that, but your commentary and review has come along so far since the earlier ones. Clear, coherent, and loads of technicality and knowledge. I can see new players watching this and it really inspiring them to progress in the sport. Please never lose the passion you have for what you're doing, it's definitely appreciated
Ten Parsecs thank you so much, means a lot when people appreciate my hard work for the badminton community
@@KenKarsaputra which is the best 100zz or 88d or 88d pro. thank u sir
gotto admit, best youtuber to actually explains about the racket.
Thank u so much, really means a lot
I play badminton for fun and fitness. My all time favourite has been 88D so far. My second racket 88D Pro broke recently and I was in a big dilemma about which one to pick. Then I came across this review and decided to go for it. I played with it for two days and felt like your review is absolutely on point. This is my first TH-cam comment ever because I wanted to appreciate your effort and thank you. This racket has given me the best control and it's quite well rounded in its performance. Though 88D is definitely more powerful when it comes to smashing (but not by much and 100 ZZ is definitely better than 88D pro), this racket wins in all other departments. Thank you so much.
Keep this quality content going!
These are the kinds of reviews that badminton gear needed. It has the objective info explained thoroughly, and the subjective aspects of it all discussed well along side it.
So glad you do what you do. Keep it up :D
Thank you so much, really means a lot, a lot of people don’t understand the concept that a racket isn’t produced bespoke for them and the ignorance from them is that they don’t understand that if they/me don’t like a racket, it doesn’t mean it’s a bad racket, hence why in my reviews I always try to direct the right players to rackets that will suit them, and plus I never just just say a racket is an upgrade just because it is new
My school got cancelled due to Coronavirus, and this is the first thing I'm doing
Thx a lot for the great upload!
Thank u so much
Are you from the Philippines?
@@MrBoi-uf2cu I'm from India mate.
Has yours been cancelled too?
U lucky bitch
Same here in Quebec, Canada
6 months later, still waiting for Astrox 100ZX review...
same here
Now its out
Ken!!!! Why did you remove your previous videos?? 😢
I didn’t like the quality of them and strive to always improve my videos, therefore I made the decision to remove them, possibly refined versions of the removed videos could be made in the future
Astrox 100 ZZ is absolutely A ROCKET.. One of the best from Yonex after VT ZForce2.. Only problem and a BIG one is the PAINT job from Yonex.. it's just so fragile these days.. just comes off so easily. So disappointed. I have Arc10 and paint job is superb.. have clashed it so many times still looks awesome... 100ZZ I feel would just become Naked after few months.
3u or 4u?
4U/G5
@@all4abhi thx
You Won't Believe It. I Participated In An Art Competition And Came In First Place. And They Sent Me This Racket. I'm 11. I Deserve To Have This Racket.
Hey, I’ve been using the Astrox77 for doubles for a year now. I was thinking of getting the 88D 4u or getting the 100ZZ. What racquet do you think would be a comparable upgrade to the Astrox77? Please and thank you .
why not 88S 4u?
Dude, at this point your racquet review intro already looks better than the entire yonex advertisement campaign.
Can you describe that for what type of players is astrox 100zz determined for and same with duora z strike?
This video finally comes😭
Many people have these misconception regarding badminton rackets.
1) I can just buy a top end badminton racket and automatically play like LinDan or LCW....no, badminton is a lot more than racket. Your fundamentals, practices, footwork, form, focus and experience is many times more important.
2) more expensive racket means a better racket.....no, the best racket for you really depend on your play style and experience. Using a ZF2 as an intermediate is really really difficult. You could use a cheaper racket that suits your style and really perform better.
3) Many people Believe that if you use a better racket you can smash better. Tbh badminton is not all about smash. So many times I have seen people tell me ohhh this racket smashes very good....but if you really play with a very very good player, you usually could hardly one smash kill your opponent, especially in double. Smashing is about your technique. Racket and string is only a minor part. Games isn’t all about smash. It is also about footwork, control, pace, understanding, experience and most importantly good focus.
I am from Malaysia 🇲🇾
And many top state players in Malaysia don’t even use top end rackets. 🏸
great review, got this racket a few weeks ago, great control and defence, lacking in power, does require a lot of technique to generate raw power compare to other rackets.
8:23 big oof if u know what I mean
zany is it the chip?
What is the difference between the zf2 and astrox 100zz in your opinion
Been here since your ZF2 and Duora 10 reviews way back when. The quality of your review videos have gone up severely! Deciding if I should upgrade to a 99 or a 100 (ZZ or ZX, waiting for the comparision) from my beloved ZF2. Keep up the great work!
Thank u so so much, means a lot, lots of effort went into this
Cant find his zf2 review. Mind if you post a link? Tnx
@@rysrys2977 It's quite old, he may have deleted it. Though he did say he may remake old reviews. I suggest just stay alert and he may upload a new review on the ZF2 and Duora 10!
It’s back
The quality of this review is absolute beast. I love badminton but, this beast of a review just for a racquet. Thank you for the amazing effort you put in just for a racquet review. Thank you.
Hello,can you choose for me Aerobite 23-24 lbs or 24-25 lbs
26 😎
27-28 for me
Should i upgrade to 100zz or stick with my 88s ? Its been like 6 months i am using my astrox 88s and i m thinking on upgrading and now m really confused is the astrox 100zz worth upgrading ?? Kindly suggest ! And @poisoncobra i do really like ur videos they r worth watching. Thank you for all your information regarding stuffs u add in ur video !keep uploading best wishes for your upcoming endeavours!
Just wondering about your thoughts between the 3u and 4u of 100zz. I currently use the 3u 88s but find it's a little slow for front court as a doubles player.
front court as doubles usually use 4u racket for fast reaction. 4u 88S is great for front court and 3u 88D is perfect for back court players
Can your next video be you playing a full match of doubles plz
Get the ZX review out ken
Yeaaah plz :) and Wich racquet do you prefer , Astrox 88d , 100zz or 100zx ? Thank you for your videos , love them ! 👍😀
Can't wait for the ZX review , it is really helpful to me to choose the ZZ and ZX racket.
Primarily a singles player, currently using a 3u Astrox 99 pro, and I feel it’s way too much on my shoulder. Should I go for a 4u 77 pro or 100zz?
In the past few years I had been using ZF2. I found it a bit too heavy for defense and net shots. Changed to Z strike, slightly better, but the shaft is too stiff for control. I got my 100zz this year, great balance between defense and smash. I have used it only ever since. My fav racket so far in the yonex head heavy range.
do you still use it??
Ken,am an offensive player and I love to prefer with rackets like z force II.so please say me is it suitable for me
What stringing service, courier, tension and apparel size should I select for the Astrox 100zz?
Tucson Jim no you don’t understand what I’m asking
@Tucson Jim Very true. People shouldn't just buy a new racket just cause "It's a new one, lemme buy it" way. Not all rackets might be suited for your level or playstyle.
Even I tried the demo and I felt that my 99 may be better for aggro plays and didnt like the ZZ that much.
Tucson Jim you don’t know me, so you can’t assume that I’m not that good.
@Tucson jim should i stick with my astrox 88d or go for this new racket 100zz? I havent got hands on 100zz so please suggest. Your time and suggestions will be high appreciated thank you
This racket have a different feel to it but a bit hard to explain. I was using my Astrox99 4u as my main racket til its string broke about a week ago in a middle of a club tournament. I had my 100zz as back up so i was forced to use it for the first time. I can say the 99 has a bit more power but this 100zz is definitely amazing as well.had a bit of adjustment to its feel but once u get it, you will be amazed. A must buy.🙂
Still waiting for Astrox 100 ZX review
2:55 my anxiety is rising, one wrong then goodbye. Anyway, good quality review video
Can you pls suggest on which racket to go with for doubles. ( for Power smash , defence )
AX 100zz or AX 88d pro. ?
Hey Ken, first off want to commend you on an excellent video! Neatly explained, very thorough in your explanations, clean edit and cinematography :)
I do have a question however, and oddly enough it isn't directly related to the topic of this video... but at 11:11, you mentioned that the 99 and 88 (D presumably) remain the kings of power among the rackets produced by Yonex. Out of curiosity, what do you think the comparison between the 99/88D vs the ZF2 would be in terms of raw power? I personally own a ZF2 and various other rackets albeit none of my other rackets from the astrox series, and I feel the ZF2 is one of the most powerful rackets I've ever used. Since you own both, which of the rackets do you think is more powerful?
Is this better than the astrox 88D considering the price
And Wich racket do you prefer between the Astrox 88d, 100zz and 100zx ?
for me, i’ve tried astrox 88S, 88D and 100 ZZ; i prefer 88S (men’s doubles)
88D is more focused on power and the ZZ feels like stability is more focused. If there's any difference in power, it doesn't feel like it was noticeable but the stiffness of the ZZ makes it feel very stable. Could be the solid core shaft.
That's some good video quality and editing. Loving this new video style. SEXY!
Thank u so much ❤️ a lot of effort went into this
11:12
Can't afford 😩
Hi ken, im a really big fan of urs and i just had one question and ide be extremely grateful if u could answer me, im in the market for a new racket and i have narrowed down my options to 2 options, either the 3u astrox 100 zz or the 4u astrox 88d pro, Ima very aggressive player with lots of smash and slices and half smashes and speedy shots etcc..., In your opinion which one should i get? I just cant make the decision for the life of me
Great quality video and review. Well done!
hi, by testing a lot of racquets and different parameters in 6 years, i can definitely say than 4u is not for me. even if you have more maniability, i prefer to have a good backcourt option for heavy attack, 3u and even balance is still the best for men doubles. and a good old hammer type of racquet is good for singles, i know a lot of better player than me who play with light raquets in single and it's quite ugly to see. they lack of that snap which can change everything and they struggeling to take their opponents by surprise even if they have a good technic and trickshots... so, even if i lose against this type of good players, i feel like i have the upper hand on almost all the rallies where i'm able to be very aggressive, i'm losing because of my stamina basically (1m60 for 57kg)... all that to ask one thing, could you test the 3u version of this please ??? ^^
Cant find your IG Ken.
@ken_karsaputra
Is that regents Park Ken?
Hi ken, why did you prefer to use 4UG5 for this model? How is it relevant knowing you are using the model 3UG5 for Astrox 88 D? I'm about to buy at LT but still weighing factors between 88D and 100zz. Thank you in advance and more power to your trippin'z!
Hi,
I want to know which racket is more head heavy between astrox 77 and astrox 100 ZZ .
for both please consider 4u version.
I am a doubles player.
Kindly suggest me
Please bring back old videos
Loved the video, is it actually super stiff? Many people are saying it isn’t.
Thanks for the review, keep it up!
Will be the ZZ better than aeronaut 9000 ? You may help me which racket got the bonuses i play singles power game
The zz is more preferable compared to 9000. 9000 is good as well but most people love zz. The 9000 is also probably less stiff than 100zz but 100zz probably have more oomph feeling than 9000
@@mclarenludan2290 thanks brother ☺️
Very nice review videos! I'm looking at getting a new racket and I'm doubting between the 100ZZ and the 88D 4U (All Astroxes come in 4U only here). I've been playing with a 3U arcsaber 11 (changed from Voltric because I wanted a bit more speed in defence) for years. Now I would like to return to a slightly more headheavy racket. So my question is would a 4U astrox be able to give a bit more power than my 3U arcsaber? And more importantly how much stiffer is the 100ZZ compared to the 88D and arcsaber 11? Would the 100zz be more difficult to play with because of its 'extra stiff' shaft?
I tested the 100ZZ and in my opinion it is one of the most forgiving rackets und really easy to play with. It is just a beauty to play with and it feels very good. However, the only thing i disliked is the G5 grip. It’s to small for me.
Fun fact: my tennis arm just disappeared in the time i played with it and i never had any issues with it.
Whens the ZX review coming?
If you're limited to the string choice. Is bg 80 or bg 65 the best option? Thx and great video!
11:40 yes, you can increase the grip size but the more grip you add the less you can feel the bevels on the wood plus, personally, I don't like a really soft/spongy grip.
Where’s the ZX review/comparison?
1. Is this racket more head heavy than the 88D?
2. Is this more friendly to use than the 99?
1.no 2.yes
Poison Cobra already Considering to buy one. I love the 88D but this racket probably will be a little too stiff for me but i will try it before actually consider getting one. If the astrox 100 zx is not as stiff i may opp for that instead
Cheers bro!!
This is actually one of the best badminton rackets review that I have ever come across in a long time! Keep up the good work!!
FYI, I also bought this 100ZZ and still trying to get used to it. I was using the Li-Ning Turbocharging 20 before this
can this be counted as an upgrade to the z strike or are they diff? not sure which to get
BG-80 will never perform as good as BG-66 beside having a hard feeling because its a thicker string. Regular Aerobite has more control + power with sacrifice in durability as Boost is uses a thicker hybrid setup.
Really love your vids, very happy to find reviews on badminton products online. Could you give more visuals (words/subs/CC), tho? It'd help a lot. Thanks a bunch!
Woooooh gile intro nya keren banget. Smashnya malah sesuai dengan beat music nya. Next level editing🎉🎉
Just waiting for the zx for now :)
Yes plzzzzzzz !
can you recommend me a tension for this racket bytheway im gonna use bg66 ultimax
Is it me or did Ken’s production team intentionally include lots of orange and navy blue tones in the intro to demonstrate the 100zz’s colours?
Brotha, what do you string your 4u racket at? Any thoughts or experiences straining your 4u over the recommended tension? Thank you for the review 👌🏽
👌🏻
Thanks!
Am I the only one waiting for the ZX review?
Nope, me too !
Waiting too !!!
I’m waiting
Can we approciate his video quality here!
almost 1 year later still waiting for the astrox zx review.
FINALLY SOME GOOD CONTENT
Hey can you please make a video comparing this racket to the Voltric series?
would you say the zx is better that the astrox 99??
Can you make a review of the astrox 77?
Ken , are you from Malaysia ancestral-ically?
He is from hong kong bro
Sorry I'm late king
I feel like this is made for Momota, but too bad he's not playing anytime soon :(
I am waiting for this😆
Wonderful review ! This instantly me buy the ZZ 4u version today🙌
Just wanted to know which string would go well with this racquet. I had Aerobite boost and Exbolt 63 in my mind! Pls suggest a good string to get the best out of this racquet !
Sana all
where's the review of the Astrox 100 zx?
Ken how did you chipped you racket already
It was an accident, the wind blew whilst shooting b roll and it fell onto the concrete

Ken, best review yet, a lot of important information! Thankyou! Will you review other brand badminton rackets?
i liked before i watched. 👍🏻
❤
Finally
hey dude, I saw you on TV at match mixed double final all England open third game when praveen scores 15th point. you sit near hilarious dude wearing a bamboo hat.
dwija ellan i also saw him :)))
It's fadlan
The moment I saw u all I could think about is Asian Harry Potter! I think u look awesome!! Anyway I love the review, just got my 100zz !
So this racket is universal - for attack and control/defence ? 10 years ago my seller recomended me very flexible racket because I don"t have proper technique, I had some old from serries Muscle Power and Armortec. Now He sell me this racket. I was little bit surprised :-) He say that this racket isn"t so still extra stiff at all and that flexible racket has disadvantages in short balls at net.
Genuine Request to you : Please Please Please review Astrox 5 FX Racquet. I want to purchase it for me to play singles as well as doubles. Thanks in advance. Please again
Dude you have improved so much with TH-cam proud of you bro
Phew here we go, another masterpiece unfolding
Thank u so much, really means a lot
Thanks for a fantastic review. Have you tried the Archsaber 11 pro? How would you compare with this one?
I just came home from the court and I test out the astrox 100zz and astrox 99 and i must said is a slight better make me satisfied
Cant wait for the zx comparison, and will u b there on sunday at All England?
Yes will be :)
