    I got a lot more rackets in the past but I sold them. :p

    The N80II is just a little over medium stiff feel and a little head-heavy (298 mm). You can check my review. Probably in the N80II thread I created.

    They're all uniform now.

    N90: 94g, 44g hw (bronze1) - 11.2*11.8kg BG80/LN No.1 Hybrid - 1129hz
    N90: 91g, 43g hw (bronze2) - 11.2*11.8kg BG80/LN No.1 Hybrid - 1130hz
    N90: 93g, 43g hw (silver) - 11.2*11.8kg BG80/LN No.1 Hybrid - 1100hz (not sure how that happened)

    All gripped with RKEP G10 Wine Red

    Now all I need is Lin Dan's left hand.

    For good measure...

    Seeing 3 together especially when I can't even obtain a single one here and have never seen one is why I'll be having sleepless nights now.

    Normally I'm using No. 1. But I thought I'd give the BG80/No. 1 hybrid a try.

    Sadly when my wallet got stolen, I blocked my card. Now that I haven't had proper time to visit the branch office, I do not have the ability to make purchases haha. So probably can't this month.

    Out of both No.1 and 80. Last 80 packet went in my ZF2 on Sunday.

    No.1 as cross and BG 80 as mains right ? I also plan to give this combo a try once I get the 80 strings from MBS. I do love the no.1 but my net spin shots have suffered .

    Yeah, I recommend going higher on the crosses to keep it feeling good.

    At the top or at the end of the grip? Because I like to have a bit of free space at the top to put my thumb there.

    The top one. I see some small area that is not covered by your towel grip. Is this area that you mean by "free space"?
    I like to grip my racket until the top of the cone.

    Yeah, I like it that way. It's intentional.

    :D

    I will admit to being a tiny bit jealous. But I've moved on, the N80ii is also great for singles and even better for doubles

    Denial is the first stage of the grieving process

    Finally able to test my N90 that I bought second hand. I restrung it from god-knows which string and tension did the previous owner use. I strung it with BG80 25lbs. Apparently I dont have enough skill/power to wield it. My smash was powerless :(

    And after that I went back to my JS12 and N9ii
