    Yo, I need a new raquet and i'm upgrading from my Isometric 30VF. I'm thinking about a nano speed 9000x but my friends say it's too good for me .
    I need something with a ton of drive accuracy, maneuverability and smashing power. Yonex is what's best for me! how about a muscle power 30?

    I'd agree with your friend. It would be to big a gap.
    Some of the lower ns rackets might work for you, or mp99.
    I'd advice you to try the mp99 if you can, it's a really nice racket, and it's worth the money.

    I think a Nanospeed 9000 X is too advanced for a beginner.

    agreed, a 9000x is way too stiff for a begginer. i reccomend a lower end nanospeed, or a low end muscle power.

    dont feed the trolls.

    edit: Instead of spending money on an expensive racquet, spend some money on a dictionary, because is spelled "because".

    we should find out where he got his special intensive training before he gets thrown out!!! that way we can all become "special advance teacher" too after we get this intensive training.

    Wow, that's rather juvenile language to use. "Noob"? "Becuz"? Don't try to fit in with the teenagers, lol. I really don't see how you were a beginner, if you beat Koon Kien Keat, even if you were children. And since when did he ever live in Canada???? You can't get that good overnight. It's just not really probable. Several hours really couldn't make that much of a difference.

    lol alright alright... my apologies, I've been bashing this kid since he started posting... I think its safe to say we can lock this thread, and disregard any postings he's made since

    It was a good laugh while it lasted :D

    ps: I need super advanced training to not be a noob anymore becuz, I r want to beat the Koo Keat, and be stringing my super nano9000x to 45lbs too! :D

    A racket won't boost your game play by 500%. Therefore, save the $$$ on a pair of badminton shoes, or some good training lessons.

    It's alright to issue your concerns, and share your experience, however, make sure to have the proper knowledge to back it up. I've read some of your recent posts, but I have to same some of the information is kinda mis-leading. Try to listen and learn, if you are not sure. It's no shame to learn when you are new, as we are all learning every day.

    No such thing as best racket.What best for any other ppl may not be the best for u.So,pick ur choice n tell yourself which one's best...Pick one that's suits ur game.If u're a beginner,pick one's with a more flex shaft..strung it at a lower tension.U'll play better..

    First: Bad reason for getting a new racket. Just because his students insult him?

    Second: I thought he got super rigorous training and now is advanced.

    There is nothing wrong with th ISO30VF.. If you cant beat the kid easilly with that... well then you should probably not be teaching him..

    Focusing on the equipment, instead of the rest of the game, will just set a bad example for your students!!

    What's the problem with N9K for newbie?
    As long as you can afford the N9K, just take it.
    Maybe with the N9K, he will be an advance champion.

    Firstly NSK9K is aktually 4 distinct different rackets..

    NS9Kx/2U
    NS9Kx/3U
    NS9ks/2U
    NS9Ks/3U

    I would say none of them is appropriate for a Newbie, if nothing else it would be a serious waste of money. A beginner with a high-tensioned strung NS9Kx/3U will definitively play WORSE than with a cheap flexy $10 graphite racket!!!

    It is like a computer beginner bought a Z/OS mainframe computer from IBM.. He would not be able to take advantage of the power, because he is not skilled enough.

    Or as in golf... Buying the same equipment like the pros will actually hurt a newbies game, as the newbie needs bigger sweetspot, flexier shafts etc. due to lower accuracy and swingspeed.

    Problem is, mostly it's a waste of $$$, and big disappointment due to un-reasonable expectation. If he can afford it, he can surely pack quite a few, if he chooses to. However, besides adding some "collection value", there's little improvement to his game play. If get a new racket can make you to be a champion, guess all the coaches and players are just dumb, for putting in so much effort and $$$ for training. Everyone just pick up a racket and there's no more runner-ups. :D

    wait a minute...what?
    youw ant to speend $200 because some kid said "ha-ha I've got a more expensive racket!"

    by all means, there're more expensive rackets than the ns9X..try the $300 Woven 16...be sure not to pay a penny less!
