BadmintonCN: the BadmintonCN reviewer's Auraspeed HS Plus review (Jul 2024)
4U: 88.9g w/ underbase removed, balance 304mm — almost identical mass and balance to Yonex 1000Z. 'A hardened Hayabusa SE' — harder shaft, faster off-string, more rigid feedback. Smash quality stronger than Hayabusa SE and Brave Sword 12. Hardest shaft in Victor's lineup. Higher entry threshold than 100XSE: needs more active force. Frame slightly smaller; off-sweet-spot defense weaker. Suited to doubles rear-court or singles/mixed for advanced players.
