    I don't know what kind of racket that similar to Gosen grapower 690
    however maybe the others could help you

    the spec of grapower 690 is flexible, even balance (285 +/-5mm) and 3U (86+/- 2 gram)

    have you ever tried medium or medium stiff shaft? maybe go around and try to test your friend's racket
    if you like it, maybe you can find new racket with stiffer shaft

    since no one answering your question (Gosen is not really famous)
    if based on spec, I would suggest to try arcsaber 002
    it is flexible, even balance, however it might be a little bit heavier (maybe only by 1 gram so it is not significant)

    and also I would suggest brave sword 169
    it is also flexible, more or less even balance and usually BS series has fast swing speed

    remember the spec is same however it might have different feel with your gosen grapower 690

    arcsaber 002 should be around $75 (Us dollar)
    while BS 169 around $106

    I don't think it is going to be similar
    they do have flexible shafts,
    however, windstorm 680 and 690 are head heavy rackets.. 9your gosen is even balance)
    and the weight of these two li-nings are 5U (78-80 gram) while your gosen is 3U (86 +/-2 gram)

    based on the spec alone, most likely it will be a very different racket
