N50 II are head heavy, and more flexible than F9, as a result it is slower but more powerful. On the other hand, F9 is stiffer and cuts the air faster due to its frame profile which is less air resistance similar to kason TSF 300A while N50II has box frame profile similar to Ti.10. According to the reviewer, N50II has more stable frame compared to F9.

Hitting sound from F9 is clearer and producing crispier sound than N50II. When hitting shuttle, N50II has softer feeling than F9, however F9 vibrate more upon hitting. Additionally, F9 has better control than N50II, while N50II is more repulsive. F9 is better in netting too.

BP : N50II 293mm, F9 287mm
N50II suitable for Singles while F9 for doubles.

Ooh this'll be interesting then, I've got a N50II as well and I'm getting a F9 tomorrow. I'm not a pro but I'll post what I think next week when I get to play with it :3

There's a badminton website called "mybadmintonstore" which sells C7 and F9 and ship to us. There's a few malaysian ones on Facebook floating around that ship worldwide, and I distinctly remember a hk one called e78 which sell kason stud relatively cheaply

Also, without advertising too much, if anyone's based in London and is willing to trade my Carbonex 018+Yehlex 3800 for a C7 or F9 let me know~ :3

For anyone who may be interested, I have posted my review of the F9 here in the other F9 thread.

I think that's why I said OTHER than MBS... it's mybadmintonstore. Beside they already ran out of stocks for the F9

Oo sorry ><' well my other point still stands: e78, hi badminton online and I think it's called badminton world online as well or something alone those lines

What you can do is buy through a Taobao agent (such as this). Use an agent that has good reputation, check their feedback on Facebook etc. What they do is basically help you order your product + their service fee + EMS charges to ship it to you.

I got my F9 from this Taobao seller. Confirmed genuine by checking serial number on Kason's website. I got the F9 LTD so it came with a F9 t-shirt too. IMO, good value for 698RMB (~114USD). You may want to exclude the racket cover that comes with the F9 LTD. It's very nice and feels high quality but it's HEAVY - unless you are willing to pay for the shipping.

If you prefer NOT buying from Taobao, then look at Hi Badminton Online and World of Sport as pointed out above. e78 stocks the F9 too.

got my F9 yesterday, yet to play with it though, hopefully with play with it on either sat or tuesday :3 the nice gentleman who swapped it with me strung it with bg66 maxima and original grip etc. Feels great though in the swing and I can see what people mean when they say it might be slightly head heavy when play overhead shots. Shaft is quite flexy too, a lot less stiff than say, VT80 or VTZF
