2003 Yonex rackets measurements

**cooler** · 04-11-2005, 11:12 PM

Using similar test procedure, the racket stiffness of the NS7000 and 8000 are:

NS7000 3UG4 12.21%
NS8000 3UG4 11.96%

The difference is close enough to say they have similar stiffness.

You can compare this result to other yonex here

go read about it in the product review section.
this thread is about racket measurement, not subjective review.

Could you edit your first post and include the 2004 racquet measurements (or what you have done) as seen in page 8? Also plan on finishing some of the 2004 racquet measurements? Just wondering.

got any new input on the head balanceness chart?

thank you

Since each racket has difference length, i am showing the result in term of relative head heaviness or tippyness. Yes, some of the result may alarm you but that's how the data came out. All actual measurements are to 0.5 mm. No, i did not use my index finger as the fulcrum. The width of the fulcrum used was 0.5 mm, similar to a dull knife.

0 means balance similar to a 3U cab20M
negative means relative percentage head lighter than a cab 20M
positive means relative percentage head heavier than a cab 20M
