Indeed - I suspect people were expecting more power...

Or it (2U) doesn't exist in NanoRay range

[once upon a time, lower weight was considered technological advancement

My French is terrible but basically the reviewer says that he likes this type if racket. It is similar to the NS9900 and 8000 (but not quite). He says it is quick like Bravesword 10 but not as stiff-- a fact he appreciates in drives and pushes. He says it is very precise (good control). As for power, I believe he is saying that it is not like a big armortec but that it can surprise if used the way it ought to be. He finishes by saying he is going to test more and add comments at a later date.I shall wait to be raked over the coals for this guess of a translation by a real polyglot. But the upshot is that those who like this type of racket will like this racket (Quelle surprise!).

He's reviewed a 4u with a swing wt equivalent of 82g (!). No wonder it's lacking in power.

It looks like I will be testing and reviewing this racket and the Arcsaber islash very soon.

Can't wait.

waiting for it

**concretemad** · 10-20-2012, 01:46 AM

i just got hold of one. this thing is going to be following nr700s footstep....failure.

i don't think i can put up a proper review so a comparison with other similar racket will let the reader some insight into it.

im an intermediate player, tested it for 2hrs.

nr800 3ug5 nbg98 25lbs
ns9900s 2ug5 nbg98 25lbs
ns9000 3ug5 nbg98 25lbs

smash power ns9900>ns9000s>>>nr800
defense ns9000s>ns9900>>nr800
drive ns9000s>ns9900>nr800 KING OF DRIVE???
clear ns9900>ns9000s>nr800

the lack of head weight is so prominent till it almost like a ns6000.

now u know why there only 9pgs for yy high end after months.

it may get better after more play time but for now IT IS REALLY THAT BAD!
