YONEX NANOFLARE 800 PRO
YONEX NANOFLARE 800 PRO - faster than his shadow
This time, the BADLAB "racket team" tested the new high-end racket: YONEX NANOFLARE 800 PRO - before the worldwide sales launch on 17.12.2023. As with all rackets in the NANOFLARE series, the manufacturer's promise is: "Rapid Fire".
Having already tested the YONEX NANOFLARE 700, 800 and 1000 Z, we were very curious to find out exactly which type of player the new YONEX NANOFLARE 800 PRO is aimed at. We took a very close look over several weeks as part of our long-term test.

YONEX NANOFLARE 1000 Z
YONEX NANOFLARE 1000 Z - Fast and furious ?
Even before the worldwide start of sales on June 16, 2023, we received the new high-end racket from the BADLAB "racket team": YONEX NANOFLARE 1000 Z for practical testing. We were very curious to see to what extent the announcements from "Fastest Smash ever", "Rapid Fire" to "Flagship of the NANOFLARE Series" will be confirmed in the racket test. As always, we not only got involved in a few hits with the racquets, but also put them through their paces over several weeks.

YONEX ASTROX NEXTAGE
YONEX ASTROX NEXTAGE is waiting for you
Just in time for the YONEX GERMAN OPEN 2023, the newest member of the ASTROX family was introduced: YONEX ASTROX NEXTAGE. We from the BADLAB racket team were able to secure a few rackets right away in order to determine in the usual practice test which player profile the new ASTROX NEXTAGE is aimed at. We are curious to see what the "next" in the ASTROX series has to offer.

Victor Thruster K 70
Victor Thruster K70 Super Light in the Test
Another "lightweight" from the Victor Thruster racket series has been put to the test. With a net weight of only 70 g, the Victor Thruster K 70 has rightly earned the title "Super Light". The VICTOR THRUSTER K70 SUPER LIGHT, which is considered an insider's tip, is delivered in two different and very appealing colour variations, which are, however, identical in terms of construction. We from the BADLAB "racket team" are curious to see whether this "feather" has more to offer than just looks and have, as usual, subjected the VICTOR THRUSTER K70 SUPER LIGHT to a long-term test full of expectations.

Victor Brave Sword 1800 D
VICTOR Brave Sword 1800 D - A sword for all occasions
For years, bestsellers with the proven Brave Sword technology have been coming onto the market from VICTOR. Of course, we from the BADLAB "test team" wanted to know exactly what this is all about, so we decided on the new update of the VICTOR Brave Sword 1800 D and put it through its paces as usual. We are curious to see what the "brave sword" with the noble look in the basic colours wine red/silver has to offer.

In the European market, VICTOR presents its rackets in the collections: DRIVE X, AURASPEED, THRUSTER and LIGHT FIGHTER. In the latest test of the BADLAB "Test-Team" we have focused exclusively on the VICTOR LIGHT FIGHTER collection.

YONEX ARCSABER 7 PRO
YONEX ARCSABER 7 PRO: Control made easy
In August 2022, the new YONEX ARCSABER 7 PRO was introduced to the market. The BADLAB racket team could hardly wait and immediately took a close look at what this new 7 upgrade has to offer in the practical test during the usual long-term test. Of course, we are also concerned with the question of whether it stands in the shadow of the legendary YONEX ARCSABER 11 PRO or what exactly the qualities of the new ARCSABER 7 PRO are. We find out.

YONEX ASTROX 100 ZZ vs ASTROX 100 ZX
At the beginning of March 2020 we received the latest top models of the YONEX ASTROX series from the BADLAB racket team for our proven long-term racket test: ASTROX 100 ZZ and ASTROX 100 ZX. Then Corona came and spoiled our fun for the time being. Fortunately, the first halls were reopened at the end of May so that we could finally get an idea of what - and above all for whom - the ASTROX 100 ZZ and ASTROX 100 ZX are the right rackets.

VICTOR AURASPEED 90K: CUSTOM-MADE FOR VICE-WORLD CHAMPION ANDERS ANTONSEN.
We have just completed the test of the AURASPEED 90 S when VICTOR is already adding the new K variants. Of course, the BADLAB racket team had to do that too.

VICTOR AURASPEED 90S
VICTOR Auraspeed 90 S: Does the new top racket do what the name promises?
Speed is the claim of VICTOR´s new top racket. Our expectations are clear: excellent handling and great ball acceleration. According to the manufacturer, this should be made possible by the new WES and R.T.C technologies, which ensure a higher rebound effect and a better angle for powerful smashes. The shaft, which is still relatively stiff, should, in combination with a light grip, provide excellent drive play and the desired lightness on defensive shots.

YONEX NANOFLARE 700: Power with more weight in the racket grip
Even before the official start of sales in March 2019, the BADLAB racket troop had the opportunity to put one of the top rackets in the newly launched YONEX NANOFLARE series to a practical test. As always, we didn't just take a few hits with the rackets, but put them through their paces over several weeks. We had our test specimens strung with a YONEX Aerobite weighing 11 kg.

YONEX ASTROX 88: ARE YOU THE S-TYPE OR THE D-TYPE?
In our January test of the ASTROX 77, we spoke somewhat prematurely of the "new top model of the ASTROX series". But now for advanced badminton players, YONEX has gone one step further with the top-heavy high-end rackets ASTROX 88 S and 88 D - individually tailored to 2 different game types:

ASTROX 77 - THE TOP MODEL OF THE NEW YONEX BADMINTON RACKET SERIES IN THE PRACTICE RACKET TEST
New Dimension Graphite, Rotational Generator System, Solid Feel Core, ... more stroke control, higher ball acceleration and steeper attack angles. That sounds promising. And in terms of taste, there is something for everyone with two different colors. But we are not so easily impressed! 10 test players of the BADMINTON LABORATORY racket team played the ASTROX 77 to get an idea of what these new concepts bring in practice.
