Yonex new racket is coming: Nanoray Z speed!!

No worries...they will a discount from SH.

 

The MSRP base price is still more expensive than Arc Z-Slash, will see how much is the discount...

 

I'd rather buy from Rakuten than SH now

Some of Rakuten's sellers provide discount up to 25% and willing to deliver rackets abroad

And there are no minimum purchases... IMO

 

I would guess the price is MYR799 -30% = MYR560

 

MBS has the JP version on preorder for 239usd

This head heavy than Zslash?

 

have to wait for two weeks for the SP version

 

in msia, dun thk yy want to market it higher than 799.90.

 

hi everyone, should i get 3UG5 or 2UG5 for attacking & defence?

 

Personal choice buy I vote for 3U

 

You guys can go preorder from Winston aka mybadmintonstore.com , you can get 2U only from pre order with Winston ! The price is 239US.

 

What make 3U is your choice?

 

I would go for 3UG5 !!!!

 

Unless you're a beast, there's no point getting a 2U anything. If you feel you need a 2U, you're better off getting a head-heavier 3U because not only will it be faster, but it will have a higher swing-weight which means more 'm' in your f=ma calculation

 

Agree...... I wonder what weight and grip size TBH use for his game

 

Im comfortable with a 3U racket.

 

Mine are 3U4.

 

Funny that when I started playing, 2U or even U was the norm. It wasn't really until the 10mm longer racquets came along that we needed to go a tad lighter (which makes sense) with 3U racquets being the new "norm".

However, if the NRZS turns out to have a similar balance to the NS9900, then I personally would go with a 2U. I personally find the NS9900 too light and lacks power. But as the NRZS is designed for speed, I'm sure it will help offset the disadvantages of having some extra mass when swung.

I particularly like the fact that they have reduced the head size from the bottom of the frame but kept the "crown" area wide (unlike the ArcZS), which makes it far more playable since you're more likely to hit the shuttle at the top than you are at the bottom.

Also, I'm not convinced by the new grommet design if I'm honest, but will wait for the reviews and see.
