    The Arcsaber Z-Slash is a very difficult racket for most people to "tame" in the beginning. With a smaller head size then conventional rackets, people will expect to do a lot of miss hits and frame hits, along with little air resistance, swing timing will be affected. It does have superb control, and when mastered, is an excellent, powerful racket with lots of potential. It is also a slightly head heavy racket, just a bit ahead of the medium balance rating.

    The Nanospeed 9900 is also a good all rounder, but much easier to control then a Z-Slash. A quick racket with good control and swing speed. It also is a slightly head heavy racket, but it is barely noticeable in a sense so it would lean closer in feel to medium balanced.

    This is all subjective to the player. If you can try these rackets out I recommend you do so, who knows, you might find the Z-Slash a perfect racket but it might not work for you, however I suggest getting a NS9900 instead. The Nanoray 700RP is not a bad choice either.

    I don't think Z-Slashes come in 4U, well I haven't seen one yet at least.

    Arcsaber Z slash does not come in 4U, only 3U & 2U.

    Due to the smaller head frame of Zslash, you will have difficult time for timing adjustment while switching between Zslash racket & normal ISo racket back & forth. However if you are really comfortable with Z slash, you might just wanna purchase a back up racket which is Z slash as well, therefore you do not need to adjust your timing every time you have changed your racket.

    It adds to the "zero air resistance" that the Z-Slash is famous for.

    Both are very good all-rounder rackets and very nice to control but for a lighter head, Nanospeed 9900 is the one. They are not available in 4u, AFAIK... My primary racket is the Arc Z-slash, a bit difficult to get used to the timing at first due to the different frame size and smaller sweetspot area but after a while it became my best friend on most games I played.

    Gosen Ryoga Shiden also has smaller frame head compared with other iso rackets but it isn't hard to adjust unlike Z slash.

    But it's very stiff though....much stiffer than z slash/
