[Review Experience] YONEX DUORA 6

I’ve been squatting on this beat for well over a year.

As a high-end of the DUORA series, its beautiful lacquer, clear positioning, and high selling price create a DUORA6 that can realize the ability to execute a precise strike on the target group, and there is no need for endorsement at all, and it sells well even without discussion.

However, it should also be noted that more discussion about it will always lie in the face value section, with descriptions of its actual feel of hitting being quite rare. The same high price tag, pretty paint job and thin and non-durable attributes have also managed to overshadow it as a vase.

“I don’t want to buy it if it’s flawed, but it’s not worth the price just for the looks” was the consensus I reached with the OP. I was curious to analyze this racket, which is quite legendary in a sense, and for which there are a large number of refurbished and restored as well as high quality imitation versions on the second hand market.


Parameters: 4ug5, with bottom line on the top line on the hand rubber total weight 92g, balance point 292mm, 210mm center bar, tuned on the soft side, double sided shaped frame, pull line 24lbs bg80.

The face value is really very top, the body pink bright pink color, almost pointing at the face of many women and fierce man said “I want to earn your money”. Although I actually prefer the white and soft color scheme of the new color, compared to the old color will be more charming, but in the actual hands of this green tea or deep breath – I know she set up a game, I still want to enter the game.

However, the quality of her paint can’t be right for the high face value of the DUORA 6. There are almost no flawless on the used market, all of them are disfigured with extensive paint and sticker loss. And once the paint falls off, the impact on the face value is very large. To make an analogy, where Princess Jing’s face grows an extra mole, all inappropriate, right. Of course, even so it is still better than (no comparison) big black thick wave power high-end.


In addition to the quality of the paint, the quality of the racket is a concern, with many restored rackets on the used market, stemming from numerous knocks, breaks, and internal and external collapses. Looking at the 22-pound limit of the warranty, it’s still a good idea to take it easy when using the racket.

By this point, you may think that the vase setup of this racket has been established, but everything still has to be judged by how it actually feels to play. A few high shots down, it is nrgz that direction, the ball is not dry, the speed is not high, and when the power is weak, you can also hit the middle of the rod deformation of the sense of accumulation. But there is no problem with getting the ball in place, saving power. It is useless to add power to the hands, the upper limit of the ball speed is easier to reach, it is better to honestly make the movement standardized to go to the Buddha to play the overhand ball. With this point, DUORA 6 as a women’s entry racket already qualified, energy-saving and soft, in addition to a little meat out of the ball, the texture is still the level of high-end racket.


Well, a lot of male golfers have the fantasy of “the more powdered the racket, the harder it kills the ball”, which unfortunately can’t be realized on the DUORA 6. The speed of killing the ball is not qualified by the current draw settings, compared to vtfb with 25 pounds half a year bg65 can also kill the fly, DUORA 6 let people have no temper, not to mention that when you get on the hands of her already with the performance of the whole body is to tell you that “kill the ball is not her sensitive points, ya know”. If you try to use it at a higher weight, the 22 lb. warranty will make it very easy to break, not to mention the consequences of hitting the racket.

Where the DUORA 6’s strengths can really be utilized is in women’s singles who are used to squatting doubles in the middle of the court and pure pulling and slinging. First of all, the defense of this racket is really excellent, with good elasticity to get rid of easily, and the opportunity of guard to attack is also very good to catch, and the light weight and softness also bring the right unloading soft blocking feel. Secondly, this is one of the DUORA series that I have experienced the most obvious difference in performance between front and back. The backhand draw is quite comfortable to push and pick, and although it doesn’t provide a more aggressive shot due to the long soft center stick, there is a feeling of being able to keep up with the pace of play until you get through to the other side. Then there is the consistent quality of the small ball, if you are accustomed to the net to do the ball should have some experience, will not be easy to pop high, the appropriate sense of wrapping in this aspect has a good plus points. Finally, this racket is perfectly suited to act as a feminine accessory on the badminton court, and the charisma boosted by holding the DUORA 6 will definitely be more immediate than a powdered shot.


I personally don’t think the DUORA 6 is a dandy. This racket ended up going to a local female player of some experience, her second DUORA 6. After inquiring about it, she thought there was a difference in feel with the new color and never got used to it. I was fortunate enough to cut a deal on the day of the trade, and that net performance really comforted me as a teammate ……

Admittedly, the DUORA 6 has limited potential, but if you feel bad with this racket, then most likely you haven’t found the right body position, or you don’t have the same aesthetics or orientation. I saw the new color used to have a price of 480, that time even if it can only serve as a jewelry function is also very valuable. But at the current price point, it’s a bit of a reach, and even though she’s a racket that can be played well, most of its value is still centered on face value. As the owner and I concluded, this racket is “a bit hard to buy just for the value, but without the value, it has no soul”.
