An arrow marks the extreme value in that row — it is a measurement, not a verdict: heavier, stiffer or thicker is not automatically better, and which end suits you depends on how you play. A row is left unmarked when the values match, when the gap is too small to feel (under 5mm of balance point or 0.2mm of shaft diameter), or when the figure isn't published.
The verdict
The LD700 and the LD1000Z are both speed rackets, so the choice comes down to feel rather than role — fast, flat exchanges and quick defence. In the hand, the LD700 is head-light, with the weight toward the handle for a quicker, more defensive feel (balance point 292mm), and the LD1000Z is head-light, with the weight toward the handle for a quicker, more defensive feel (293mm). The LD700's shaft reads medium, versus stiff on the LD1000Z — the stiffer of the two rewards a faster, cleaner swing while the softer one adds repulsion and forgiveness. On weight, the LD700 comes in 3U/4U and the LD1000Z in 3U/4U; lighter frames move faster in defence, heavier ones put more behind an attack. At ₱4,000 against ₱4,800, the LD700 is the more affordable of the two — worth weighing against the differences above rather than in isolation. If you play a power game, lean toward the more head-heavy, more attack-oriented of the two; if you value speed and control in the flat exchanges, the lighter, more even option will suit you better. Switch the weight class on either column to see how the numbers move before you decide.
