@kwun, are the frame wider than the aero frame of at900t and NS like 6000?

i can measure the 'Rays for you. but i don't have a AT900T or NS6000 to compare with.

[kwun]

That seriously looks like an Aerotus/Widebody, probably you'd see it better on the white one



So the shaft lengths are equal? You'd almost swear there was a difference in this pic:

i will measure the frame as well as the shafts when i get home tonight.

just ask the nice Big Boss Lan to borrow those rackets to measure, sure she always willing to do whatever for you!! =)

[!¿Clue?!]

So will LCW or Taufik use any of these racket?

A headlight, mid-range racquet? I think not...

Overall length appears to be identical; shaft size differs.

Hmmm...always has to do with measurements, do I hear pure maths prof here?

...maybe it's the perpective of the focal points in lenses? One on top of the other?

Indeed a physical inspection is needed . They look the same in this pic whereas as per post #2 the FX was rumoured to have the short handle:

[kwun]

i measured them.

the FX has a slightly longer shaft / short handle. the difference between the RP/FX is 3mm.

the total distance from the base of the handle to the top of the T-joint is the same.

[kwun]

FX frame thickness:

t-joint : 12.43mm
5 o'clock : 12.6mm
3 o'clock: 12.65mm
1 o'clock: 11.8mm
top: 11.55mm

RP frame thickness:

t-joint: 12.55mm
5 o'clock: 12.95mm
3 o'clock: 12.54mm
1 o'clock: 11.8mm
top: 11.65mm

in other words, they are practically the same. the slight difference can be attributed to slight molding variations and paint thickness.

[aramistuscany]

NR handle and shaft length is similar to the NS series. There seems to be a deviation in the fonts and overall design in genre from previous series like the AT, ARCS, NS and even the VT.

Gotta admit, the graphics are absolutely brilliant!
Butterflies invading my court!!!

or, it could all just be Kwun's professional camerawork...
