Badminton Racket Yonex DUORA-Z-SRITKE Reviews


Since the DZS this racket on the market, has been two years long, although during this period DZS has helped a lot of good badminton players to take a city, such as singles player Zhou Tiancheng, Danish celebrity Anselon and Japanese doubles players Endo, Watanabe, but even if it is in the special price of the catalyst, the DZS in the market and the performance of the amateur court can really be said to be mixed reviews, like the The ones who liked it to the core, and the ones who didn’t like it as much as my friend who threw it at me after fingerprinting it for me to flea out. So, to get this racket is also a coincidence, just feel a little sorry for the net friend a fox, he knows I like to play JS10 has been highly recommended DZS this racket, I am also afraid to be willing to try, and really really fragrant! Hahahahahahahahaha.

Appearance Painting



DZS Taiji paint color scheme and I really like the 65Z simply do not match, the center symmetrical paint design also seems to go back to the era of AZ, can be said to be the pinnacle of the value of the double-edged series, just after a long period of time after use in the ball tray under the impact of the sticker fall will be more obvious.

science and technology explained


DZS configuration, DZS adhering to the Z series of small frame poly characteristics, will be the fusion of different sides of the frame technology, maintain the original length of the center tube, lengthen the handle (+10mm), enhance the handling performance, at first glance undoubtedly raise the threshold of the handset; it seems to be always wanting to strengthen its performance to the most of the spectrum. This is the ultimate experience for amateurs and a test of ability.

When comparing with the ZSP center tube, which is also in the Z series, it is obvious that the center tube of the ZSP is significantly longer than that of the DZS, which will also give everyone an illusion that the DZS has been shortened in the center tube, which is actually not the case. First of all, due to the extreme retraction of the ZSP frame, the length of the center tube has to be lengthened (about 224mm) in order to keep the same body, while the DZS has a 10mm longer handle, but the length of the center tube remains unchanged (about 211mm).

Many players will ask, which is stiffer, ZSP or DZS?

My answer is DZS, of course, we need to take into account the conditions of the DZS longer handle, the longer handle is undoubtedly to improve the DZS handling performance, especially in the net in the process of the flat draw counter, flexible and precise control, but for the hardness of the center tube itself, the ZSP is almost 1 cm longer, which means that it is longer arm, and it is relatively easy to drive, hit the deformation.

Hitting Experience


DZS as a longer handle (+10mm) racket, the initial drive in the hands of the threshold will be more elevated layer, mainly in the hands of the long ball out of the whip and passive defense when the power of the force, especially the test of manipulation of the player’s small arm and its finger power, and secondly, DZS in the Z series of hardness can be said to be a new high, coupled with the initial grinding of the frame of the opposite side, the difference between the feel of positive and negative strikes. Although the difference in feel between the front and back side of the ball is slight, it does affect part of the feel. Because the length of the center tube is shorter than that of the ZSP, the deformation of the whip is significantly worse than that of the ZSP, but the accuracy of the ball is also guaranteed. Whether it’s a high forehand or a backhand over the net, the DZS is very crisp and clean.


In actual confrontation, due to the DZS using the latest DR Dense Nano Carbon, the overall hardness of the racket frame has improved very significantly, and the hardness of the stroke feedback is also quite high, it is recommended to match with BG95/VBS63 strings to enhance the elasticity control.


The DZS has a different width on both sides of the frame wall. The use of the DZS has always been controversial, and most players, including myself, were skeptical at its inception. Wouldn’t the gimmick of the frame bring about confusion and instability in the feel of the racket?


Positive cassette, stable ball
Answer:Without practice, there is no right to speak, in the case of empty shooting failed to experience the difference between the swing speed of the double-edged racket frame, immediately after the hands in the blocking session in the positive and negative out of the ball speed test, the front of the cassette blocking, due to the overall hardness of the racket frame is high, out of the ball when the sharp, coupled with the characteristics of the small racket frame, so that the DZS in the process of the blocking process, the more concentrated power, the active attack on the downward pressure of the fierce, flat and fast, but the small racket face characteristics make its fault rate is low, especially to pay attention to rhythm control when continuous blocking the net. However, the small racket face makes it less forgiving, so it is important to pay attention to the rhythm when blocking the net.


Reverse wind breaker, fast return
On the contrary, the reverse side of the windbreak frame type in the draw block performance to be more friendly, windbreak structure to a certain extent to the swing speed has improved, and out of the ball and the front of the box has a significant difference in swing speed, hit the ball instantly due to their own swing speed faster, passive draw will be more responsive just pointing to the lower than stable box structure racket face.


Some people must ask in the actual battle you may not have the air to turn the racket to see what they are holding is positive and negative?
Answer:Indeed, the difference in feel is very subtle, at first you look at the head of the beat, is all black is the front, black and white is the reverse, you use a long time later really do not have to look at the positive hand is certainly the box, why? Because the hand rubber will tell you, the thumb wear corresponding to the racket surface is the forehand is right. So many people say that DZS is not without reason, and then DZS will also let you subconsciously change the bad * turn racket.


DZS is the same as the previous “Z’s”, is a thorough killer, sweet spot concentrated small racket frame type in the instantaneous power, the explosive force is amazing, embodied in the ball out of the flat fast and steady, as well as large-scale action of the heavy kill, strong and powerful. I feel that when I hold it in my hand and set up the racket to attack, I have a full grasp of my heart. In terms of directionality, the DZS is actually higher than the ZSP, and the near-crunchy feel of the middle tube also minimizes the burden on the attack. Just in terms of defense, the Z series is still as bad as ever, backhand wind break is not bad, forehand box draw defense, it really needs time to get used to, after all, the small racket frame brings more than just a powerful attack, just like its name is generally a double-edged sword.

Technical Positioning

Summarize the characteristics of DZS racket as follows:

  1. A lineage of small racket frame has a certain requirement for power, the initial hands on the frame frequently, the adaptation period is longer;
  2. The contraction of the sweet spot is concentrated, and after adaptation, the explosive power is amazing and the offense is sharp. 3;
  3. Small racket frame swing speed is faster, flexible, and changeable, but the error rate is very low, in the defense performance is weak;
  4. Frame hard, center tube hard, feedback, out of the ball pointing very strong than any other racket in the spectrum of rigidity characteristics;

Recommended like a high outbreak, taking into account the small area of the frame, defensive performance is weak, low fault rate, more recommended for the control of the offensive style of play singles players, DZS extended handle configuration can also be applied to doubles players.
