Yonex Duora 10 Racket Review
In certain regards this is a noteworthy racket with a recently structured edge. What's so unique on the off chance that you remove promoting publicity? The casing is another shape giving standard "box" development on one side of the head and a lot more keen "cutting" edge on the opposite. The thought is to give a quicker, increasingly ground-breaking swing and normally this quicker side is utilized for strike shots.
On to my audit
The Yonex Duora 10 showed up in a full length Yonex spread – the standard quality. The Duora logo glances extraordinary in dark – downplayed. The racket was pre-hung with Yonex BG65Ti string so the pressure is low for acceptable players. Once more the logo endured all of five minutes on the string – extremely poor and this is currently turning into a joke. Please Yonex. I acknowledge most players will request a custom restring, yet kindly don't extend to such an absurd modest ink work on such a costly racket.
This is an extraordinary glancing racket in dark with green decals on one side and orange on the other to mirror the various sides of the edge. This is an even equalization/slight head substantial casing, hardened shaft. Weighting is 3U (85-89g) with grasp size G4. I lean toward hold size G5 nowadays in any case, as I have utilized this grasp size such a great amount previously, it felt like an old companion getting this racket.
It's hitting time
I generally get a buzz when testing Yonex items. I need the racket to play so well and I trust this racket isn't as frustrating as a portion of the past examples I've tried…
Overhead execution
As you can envision, a racket that has two distinct sides should be tried. Obviously, I must check whether the quicker "strike" deals with the forehand as well. Having played with such a significant number of streamlined edges as of late, at first I felt Duora 10 was somewhat delayed through the air. Is it just me or is it that I've not utilized a 3U outline for quite a while? Mmm, contemplating this one.
There is positively a distinction in feel between the different sides of the casing. Saying that, these are not huge contrasts in speed, so kindly don't expect lubed lightning speed here. You can accomplish the equivalent and more with a decent streamlined casing.
Duora 10 Badminton RacketWith the makers pressure I despite everything hit well with great association. Truly, the string strain wasn't to my inclinations however there again it's hung in BG65Ti, a string I know quite well. By and large, when I was utilized to the vibe of the racket (which didn't take long) I making the most of my time with Duora 10. My clears were solid and I needed to simplicity of the hitting on occasion to keep the van in. I expect this racket will play surprisingly better with a higher pressure string and afterward it will convey extremely sharp, fresh clears. A decent beginning!
Drop Shots
Drop shots were extremely decent however I was unable to choose which side of the face I enjoyed best. There's the typical strong feel you'd anticipate from a Yonex racket and afterward a speedy turn in my grasp and there's a somewhat unique feel with the head slicing through the air that tad quicker. You've truly became more acquainted with the vibe of the grasp to figure out which side is which. This will carry a couple of more prospects to certain players yet just when they control the hold/leader of the racket.
I truly enjoyed the vibe of a 3U racket once more. There is by all accounts a move towards lighter edges which I can comprehend on head overwhelming rackets. In any case, care must be taken that we don't remove an excessive amount of weight from the casing and cause the to feel excessively "slim." Duora 10 conveys pleasant strong drop shots with exactness.
Onto the crush
The speed of the edge joined with the somewhat weighted head and that 3U generally speaking weight were phenomenal in conveying power. Obviously Lee Chong Wei tells us the best way to utilize Duora 10 best. My testing buddy Mark appreciated the moderate side of the racket more for his crush as opposed to the quick side, though I needed the quick side as my forehand and moderate side for strike. Ok well, player's decision is fine. The significant point is that we both got something out of the crush, regardless of the string strain.
Level drives and pushes
Level drives and pushes were so natural and this time I favored the quick side on my strike. Presently this is getting confounding as it's difficult to switch sides relying upon the shot decision. The racket played well in spite of the fact that it was discernibly more slow contrasted with certain rackets I've tried as of late. All things considered, I'd stay with this 3U adaptation to give that additional punch in "tap" shots.
Defense
The Duroa 10 safeguards well despite the fact that it's not the speediest racket I've utilized. Contrasted with Z Force II it's a doddle so how about we keep matters in context… feel is consistently comparative with the racket you utilized last. I'm certain Duora 10 will be preferred over various Voltric outlines, particularly now that Lee Chong Wei utilizes it. Furthermore, there are various top 10 positioned mens copies players utilizing this racket, perceptibly Boe and Mogensen have as of late changed from their Arcsaber 11's.
Net zone
The net zone was increasingly straightforward. The quick side on strike again took into account pleasant short, sharp taps to the floor. Net shots fell off truly well however you have to have great procedure to get quality outcomes.
The marginally lighter head, contrasted with Voltric took into account an a lot quicker reaction when hitting down, or driving into mid court zones.
Durora 10 Summary
I trust in this audit I've addressed one key inquiry… accomplishes the innovation work? As I would see it does, and Yonex ought to be saluted for their ground breaking plan.
Individual inclination aside, the Durora 10 is an extremely pleasant racket. It's a solid edge so not very numerous players will truly profit by choosing this casing, despite the fact that I feel it's all the more sympathetic contrasted with the hardened, head overwhelming Z Force II. Thus, in inconsistency, it could speak to more players.
RRP is £190 which is normal for a top of the range model. Online stores have just limited to around £140 which I believe is acceptable incentive for cash, particularly for a top-of-the-extend racket from Yonex.
In general, this is an excellent racket. It's unquestionably worth a test to check whether it helps your game. The distinction in the casing might be more noteworthy despite the fact that not my much. I'm not raving about this racket as much as I needed to. Some will without a doubt think this is inclination towards another brand. It's definitely not. Maybe I've tried an excessive number of rackets and there isn't a lot to see or state? As much as I can imagine the racket, it simply doesn't overflow that unique inclination I need from a Yonex racket. I needed this racket to be quite a lot more and it basically didn't rise to the platform I had set it on. All things considered, I'll despite everything offer it 4.5 stars and a go-ahead.
Much obliged to you Yonex for taking a stab at something else. It has worked and I trust, after some time there will be a lot more Duora edges to test and survey. I can see the Duora go being as effective as the Arcsaber run which will most likely vanish inside the following year or somewhere in the vicinity.
