To all you great stringer out there, I was looking around YY US website earlier and found something interesting. 1) YY actually post their recommended stringing pattern on the web. 2) Take a look at the following link, NS9K has different (sort of) stringing pattern. http://www.yonexusa.com/badminton/badminton_strings.cfm#ns9000 Just a note for you all. Have a nice week!
Actually, No... If you look at the picture closely, for the NS9000(for the mains), it says go through B12 directly to A16 & then to A14.. Whereas for the NS8000 & NS7000, it says go through B12 directly to A15 & then straight to A13.... The same difference in the crosses too....
Hi LB, Both are 22MX21C. I think the grommet positions are different for NS9K. I will take some pictures when I get mine. (or some one can post them before me too)
Really. I thought NS9K has 22C. Time to go back to grade 1, and re-learn how to count. Or, maybe Yonex decided to move the top cross more upward, to avoid the string easy breakage issue?

you can see this in the instructions for the crosses: NS9000: start crosses from B9, keep stringing until A7 NS8000: start crosses from B9, keep stringing until A8 (depends where exactly the holes are, of course, but you would expect NS9000 A7 to be nearer the top than NS8000 A8)
Now with more space between crosses in the middle (e.g. sweet spot), in theory, the NS9k is more toward "smashing happy" than other models.
