The N36 is a heavy racquet. In-the-hand, it feels prettry similar to a 3U VT80. However, the VT80 is slightly more head-heavy and quite a bit stiffer, so they don't really feel like each other in actual play. IMO, the N36 doesn't come close to the VT80 clearing and smashing power. The N36 still is a solid racquet, just that is much more speed orientated. It also has the Li Ning Air System which makes is ever faster through the air. The paint job on the N36 is amazing - somewhat like the finish on the Gosen Ryoga series racquets. Only more metallic.
