Second-generation Axforce 100 (launched August 2025) with a slightly thicker 6.2 mm shaft and a reworked box frame. Retailers describe it as the more usable of the 100 family: still stiff and head-heavy, but with more feel on the shuttle than the first generation.

  • Heavy smash with a little more dwell and feel than gen 1
  • Torsionally stable frame for off-centre hits
  • Available in 3U and 4U
  • Still a stiff, head-heavy racket that punishes late or weak swings
  • Expensive and often sold out
