    Hello people,

    I am currently using Nanospeed 9900 and are currently looking for another even-balanced racket with flexible shaft. The reason being sometimes i find it hard consistently hit the sweet spot of NS 9900, therefore I am looking for a slightly user-friendly racket.

    I would say me skill level is intermediate (I play double, mostly defensive) and my budget is roughly around 100 USD. Any brand would do and any recommendation is much appreciated. :)

    If you would like to stay with Yonex, you could try an Arcsaber 7. Its a good a all round racket.
    Lately, I've been using a Apacs Lethal 9, its headlight to even balanced, it has a flexible shaft, I've enjoyed using it during doubles. It was relatively cheap

    If you live in KL, I recommend you go to Pertama Complex, racket heaven. I can't recommend any particular shop but you can browse around the complex and pick up a nice racket.

    thanks for the recommendation, but I think arcsaber 7 is a little bit out of my budget range.

    Apacs lethal 9.. Interesting, I'd definitely give it a try ! thanks again :)
    I had bad experience with apacs racket before this, but I think i am gonna give them a try.

    In the mean time, anymore input from you guys ?

    Don't know how easy it is to find Babolat where you live, but they make the N-Tense range of rackets that are likely in your stated price range. This series has rackets with a variety of balance and flexibility, so there should be one that suits you. :)

    Yeah, a 295 BP, to a lot of people, is considered HH. I didn't re-read your requirements, my bad, sorry.

    closest rackets to the ns9900 is the nr700s, but they are around 170USD :(

    nr300 is also even balance with flexible shaft at around 140USD

    you might be able to find some of the midgrade Arcsabers suitable for you as well.
