This racket was recovered together with the Aurapeed 9, which is the same low-end racket.
Coincidentally, on the day I took it back, another player suggested that I should test this racket, and clearly expressed his intention to let me compare it with the AXFORCE CANNON. Moreover, this racket had been recommended by some well-known players.
Parameters: 4UG5, with bottom, total weight of 92.8g in used condition, balance point 291mm, 6.8mm center bar, length 220mm, moderate stiffness, boxed racket frame, 76-hole wire bed, 9-3 point wire groove, warranty 26lbs, threading 24lbs Li-Ning N9.
As mentioned in the previous installment, the painting of the low-end rackets of the big manufacturers only solves the problem of availability, except for the models that sell extremely well like the Hammer, which can regularly introduce new high-quality paintings, basically the entry models with little noise will keep everything simple. The AXFORCE 20 is a dark blue color, again without too many stickers, and the center bar is where the most visual elements are found, mainly the densely packed parameters and models and tech. The solid color of the racket frame on the other hand looks plain.
The weight of the racket head is still there, but it is adjusted by the hand rubber to a level where the balance point is on the low side, so at least I can feel the inertia of the racket head when I hit a high shot overhand, and there is a feeling of driving the center stick to deform, and it doesn’t flutter. But what I found strange is that the stiffness of the center stick is not high, and there is no obvious vibration on the ball, yet the feedback of the ball is quite direct. From the introduction of the equipment library, AXFORCE 20 has a pneumatic molding process to enhance the feel of the racket’s stroke, hard and fast out of the ball and the sound of crisp sound effects type strong. In other words …… audio filters?
Compared to the Auraspeed 9, the sweet spot of this racket is much more normal, sweeter than the 72 holes of the last two months of the red factory’s low-end burst of small steel, which produces a sense of cohesion, and clearly reflects the accuracy of their own hitting point.
This little boost in the sweet spot is not a significant advantage in small balls at the net, but it is very useful in a bit of chopping and sliding in the backcourt, where, in addition to the increase in forgiveness it brings, the denser bed of strings is also providing more friction, which allows for better quality returns on quicker drop-outs with spin. Even if it’s just a block, it’s still very effective when you get the highest point of impact.
AXFORCE, we all can’t wait to see how it performs on offense. In terms of the actual effect of heavy kills, it may not be able to compete with AXFORCE’s smaller guns of the same specification. But in terms of the feedback and pleasure of hitting the ball, AXFORCE 20 is better. Because the ball feels harder, the feedback from the sweet spot is more obvious, and the pleasure after making a good kill is stronger, creating a positive incentive to boost your confidence in the backcourt down the line.
There’s no need to examine its swing speed and agility, I can only say that it’s really usable, because even with the same half-linear groove and the same cassette, the AXFORCE 20 is still thinner than the TK series, and naturally the wind resistance is lower as well. But it’s not just the frame wind resistance that limits its fast-paced consistency, so I won’t go into that here. What is also omitted is the performance of the AXFORCE in passive and defensive kills, which is a bit more stable than other products in the same category and position.
Proof that there are times when you don’t have to chase merchants to build momentum for goods, and merchants don’t have to build momentum for new things, the good stuff that is already in their product line is directly taken out and widely publicized.
