hi,all: I wana to buy a racket :MIZUNO TETRACROSS 500(3U5), who can tell me something about it?for example: the characteristic compare to yonex 9k(s), the suitable string and string tension ....... thanks in advance.
I was about to ask the same question then fiknd this thread by searching not much info in this forum, guess it's hard to buy from oversea. you can find more info here: http://bbs.168p.net/viewthread.php?tid=1564&extra=page%3D1
I bought one recently and strung it with Gosen R4X110 at 22lbs: Can't stand with the vibration. I am changing a more vibration-damping string to see if there's any improvement.
thank Jayda and Scott kam . i 'v used tc500 for days, and i felt that ,compare to Yonex 800 or 9000(all are 3u5), tc 500 is some harder and not easy to control.
that thread is about how/where to buy Mizuno racquet. Here's the English site of that Japanese store: http://shuttle-house.com/Page_Top_E.html there's another thread about comparing Mizuno to NS9000: http://bbs.168p.net/viewthread.php?tid=1270&extra=page%3D1 (lots of pics!) sorry I'm not good at translation (and take too much time LOL). Overall it says the Tetra500 is like NS9000S and Tetra700 is like NS9000X. - similar price - similar shaft stiffness (but somehow Mizuno is more flexible?) - Yonex has better finish & color - Mizuno has better smash (heavier head) - Mizuno is more toward professional player - Mizuno calls it "areobox frame" (between oval and ISO) I'm itchy to get one now!
