the donkey bit was funny! that's why GC still makes reference to FHF as the men's doubles player with the fastest smash in tournaments i believe at 305hm/h during the 2005 sudirman cup...please correct me if my info is not up-to-date
If the BP is somewhere near 300mm, I wonder why people would buy an Arc11 instead of this. Clearly all the technology has gone into this rather than the 11....
The 2006 arena was very quick - Fu's smash was a 332, LD, LHI, BCL, TH all went over 300 iirc. LHI had the fastest at 310 I believe (vs BCL).
There's no doubt that it takes time to adjust to a new racquet. You're probably right and that LCW doesn't want to take any unnecessary risks heading into such an important tournament.
ns9900 itself is pretty powerful.. not to even talk about how it may allow higher power to be drawn over some of the head heavier racquets with adjustment to technique if zspeed has higher repulsion over the ns9900... coupled with the aerodynamic nature of the racquet, there must be some necessity in adjusting to the swing timings etc
ns9900 is highly repulsive. personally, its the best in this aspect. i hav others stiff racket like sw35 and mx80. they mayb stiffer but they r not as repulsive. could b due to strings, im not 100% sure.
Actually now, for quite some time, his compatriots Xu Chen and Qiu ZiHan have been consistently smashing faster than FHF!
maybe that's where i got the number 305 from... ok, you are probably correct embarassing i don't even know my personal hero's trivial info
can you clarify the technologies because all the rackets seems to feel very similar to me, if there are differences, i would like to know. i know how a racket feels, but i wouldn't know how to relate that feeling to a particular technology
