New Yonex Racquet! Check this out! http://www.futatabishoten.com/ns7000.jpg http://www.futatabishoten.com/ns7000-2.jpg Ken
Does this mean I never have to replace a Yonex again, since the nano tech will repair the racquet if broken (just like a movies) jl
This new racket will be made from tougher chains of graphite and will be incorporated within the shaft and racket frame...
cooler previously pointed out in another thread that buckyballs cost $100 per gram or something. so unless the price has really dropped, or its gonna cost a fortune, i dont see much of the material being used in the construction. so probably another gimmick in my guess
It's cheaper than AT800 OF/DE. It's stated 22,050yen (21,00yen). Also it will comeout in 2u and 3u only.
Carbon nanotubes are starting to be produced at feasibles quantities and costs for structural material applications, you will applications in tennis rackets, bicycle parts, etc. Check out the following..... http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/09-01-2004/0002242174&EDATE= http://www.zyvex.com/images/mbrowse by app.jpg http://www.zyvex.com/Products/materialapplication.html
It said in the in the first picture that it will be available on November 2004, carbon frame + Nano Carbon, Carbon Shaft + Nano Carbon, T Joint So Nano Carbon is better material compare to UltimumTi?
sweet...november... my birthday present! =) i hope this racquet will be more durable. in the long run, it could be saving you big bucks! also i see lots of UPS. 30 % UP 10 % UP 5 % UP! i hope the 30 is POWER
also, i noticed that recommended string is BG65P and also BG75Ti! THAT MEANS THERE WILL BE NEW STRINGS TOO! sweet, i really like the titanium strings...
Those two strings are already out in Japan for a long time..... Don't count on Yonex will release them in the N.America areas because that AD is in Japanese.....and it's for Japan only.
whoever lives in japan, do BF a lil' favour and test out the rackets and tell us as soon as they appear in markets
I want more than that Can someone living in Japan just sneak into the Yonex Factory and get a demo out?
LOL, u got good memory jug8man. Yah, i better say something here in my defense of my previous views on nanotech(NT). 1. it's nice to see that technology had improved to bring nanotubes and buckyball into real world application. I think the tech. is still to infant too fully exploit the pluses of NT, unless one willing to pay for the custom processing. 2. the diagrams depicted in yonex's ad showed 3 circular things 1nm wide. Dont know if that's cross sectional area of carbon nanotubes(cnt) or buckyballs. Since the yonex ad showed buckyball model, i guess yonex meant buckyball. I dont see the advantage of buckyball at this stage in badminton racket, it's the cnt that would do more beneficial. 3. with electron microscope, one can find some cnt and buckyballs too in regular carbon fibers. I'm not sure (which i dont think so) if yonex's supplier had actually incorporated cnt or buckyballs from scratch in their receipe. If one raise the temp. of making carbon fiber, % of cnt/buckyball increases too. So yonex have increased cnt/buckyball from (madeup example) 0.001% to 0.005% in content, is that really improvement on strength? LOL The puddings: Nano7000 3U: 19-24 lb AT700/800 3U: 20-25 lbs I wonder why yonex didnt continue using armortech with nanotech, it should yield 21-26 to 22-27 lbs rating on a 3U
