    Hello,

    just wanted to ask the Nanospeed owners which Nanospeed do you think is the most maneuverable one and fastest among them ?
    I tried the Nanospeed 9000 S it is ridiculous fast ! Compared to the Nanospeed 6000 the 6000 felt like a stone !
    Havent got the chance to try out the 7000 and 8000.

    I do agree with you that NS9000 S is fast. IMO it is the faster NS racket compare to the others.

    "NS6000" felt like a stone - which are you referring to:

    (1) NS6000 is more head-heavy than the NS9000S
    (2) NS6000 is in absolute weight heavier than the NS9000S
    (3) Both?
    (4) NS6000 is actually lighter and more headlight than NS9000S but still feels like a stone

    If (1)-(3), there's nothing much to it, lighter racquet = faster. If (4), that's interesting, that a heavy racquet can feel 'lighter' than a light racquet.

    If you want fast, try MP88. Some pros are still using MP88s in doubles play.

    I thought NS8000 are more maneuverable than NS9000 S ??:confused:
    i can always move the NS8000 faster if compare to NS9000.
    pls correct me if i am wrong!:)

    Dont know about the weight but NS6000 definately is more head heavy than NS9000S.
    (4) Would be interesting but no :)

    Well that is really interesting. I did not have the chance to try a 8000 until now. But if you say so then I assume you had a direct comparison and also tried the Nanospeed 9000S.
    Maybe I should try the 8000 and 7000 too. :D

    i've tried the 6000 and 9000S, and have used the 7000 and 8000 for quite a while.

    balance? from most head light to most head heavy, i'd say...
    7000, 6000, 8000, 9000S

    static feel of weight, all being 3U, from lightest to heaviest...
    8000, 7000, 6000, 9000S

    feel of swing weight, from lightest to heaviest...
    7000, 6000, 8000, 9000S

    7000 is the best, in my opinion, in terms of speed of swing. Very useful in defensive play. It is incredible, really.

    Wow I am really suprised about the many different opinions but it seems that the other NS are a lot faster than the NS9000S.
    Maybe it is time to try one out ! :D

    Is it just me that thinks they are exactly the same, it just how the player moves the racket?
    Cos i have a MP44 and an AT700 and i have used loads of test rackets and i have never thought that a racket was slow, just heavier or lighter. But this was only an issue when trying a NS8000 then a Carlton summat.

    between the ns8000 and the ns9000 i find the 8000 quicker for defence.

    luckily i've been able to throw the 9000X through a game lately.
    and i'll say its stupidly stiff.

    the 7000, 8000, and 9000S seemed to feel about the same to me, honestly. if its any different, i wasn't able to discern the difference.

    flexible to stiff
    6000, 7000/8000/9000S, 9000X

    Regarding the stiffness without actually testing them, I would rate it is rather:

    6000, 9000S, 7000/8000, 9000X

    so basically more or less exactly what i said? :p
    i wans't able to tell a difference between the 7000, 8000, and 9000S. all three felt kind of the same to me.

    so if you were, good stuff.
