The Duora Z-Strike is the stiffest attacking racket in the Duora line, which uses the Dual Optimum System: one side of the frame in a box shape to give power on the forehand and the other aerodynamic to accelerate the backhand. Made in Japan, it has an HM graphite frame with Nanometric DR and Hyper-MG, an extra stiff and extra thin shaft, neutral balance, 88 g ±3 (3U), 675 mm and up to 28 lbs. Yonex resumed selling it in the US in 2026. It is for advanced fast-attack players.

How the RR Score was calculated

CriterionWeightScore
Specs65%70
Approval from players35%65

The RR Score is not yet a precise figure. It summarizes the data we have today (specs and reviews) and changes as more information comes in. A low score does not mean the racquet is bad and does not reflect its technical quality: often it is just missing data or reviews. The specs combine several sources and may have discrepancies: check the manufacturer's website and the store where you buy.
