Hello again ...today i am finally gonna try out my new NP9000 X . Just wondering, if i am used to playing with the MP 44 is this racquet gonna feel a lot better when i start smashing, clearing, dropping, etc. ??
I'm no expert, but I'm gonna say that it won't feel as great at first. This is due to the fact that you're moving from a rather flexible racquet to an extra stiff one. It's an advantage that these racquets share the quality of being headlight, though. You won't unlock the full potential of the racquet, until you develop your technique and skill to compensate for the stiffness. You must ADAPT!!
Well, that's sorta obvious. Unless it's false marketing; the price answers that question. You should look at the two review threads for the NS 9000 X/S. It is definitely more powerful than the MP 44, though not as powerful as the upper end Armortec racquets and those of other brands, as it is headlight, which doesn't offer the full potential of offensive power, but it is pretty decent from what I've read, and DinkALot has been said to be a pretty good judge(and a hardhitter at that).
I won't use the spec to judge whether a racket gives a boost in any performance or not. It's you to determine whether it serves you well or not. So, get the hand on the rackets, and demo. Then, pick the one you like (performance and price ratio). Many good players I know of are using head light rackets, such as MP44/66, NS7k, etc. They can generate thunderous smashes, and effortless clears w/o any problems.
yo to Tsumaranai....if you go to the Yonex Chart...http://www.yonex.co.jp/badminton/feature/mp/style.html you will find NS 9000 X more offensive than Armortec 800 OF/DF or even AT 700....NS 9000 X is prob the best racquet in the offensive field next to MP 100.
Yea, but the charts aren't exactly on the mark and precisely accurate in any form. It's pretty much up to the player and their technique. Offensive power can be generated higher with one racquet than another. Style and personal ability is more important than specs or charts. Those are merely rough estimates, even if they're results of scientific testing.
