    I can't decide between the above models. Pros/Cons from personal experiences would be greatly appreciated.

    Did you get a chance to try both rackets? If possible, demo the rackets by yourself, and your own decision is much more accurate than any of reviews by others.

    A way to demo the racket, is to borrow/rent from local shops or follow club members. Even a light drill session can give your more feedback than reading 200 reviews.

    Wanted to say Thank you to both of you for replying. I am going to play with both rackets (7700 & 9000S) tomorrow and Monday and make a decision.

    Thanks again!

    to

    And the winner is... NS9000-S. Was actually not that hard to determine once playing with the 7700 for 3 games. The 7700 has to much flex to my liking, a little heavy when defending - I found myself being in position however always a fraction late with the racket placement What really made things difficult was the way the 7700 takes away the feel of the shuttle. This rackets absorbs so much of the vibration - makes net shots a little difficult to control (IMO).

    I switched to the 9000S and played with it for 5 games. This rackets responds faster and has more power then the 7700. Again this is my opinion as the 9000S suits my playing style better than the 7700. Net shots felts really good and shuttle placement while defending was excellent.

    Overall I'm really happy with the 9000S. Now I need to find a place that sells it a a decent price. Local store here wants 310.00$ If it's allowed in the forum rules your recommendations are welcome. Looking for the 2UG3 NS9000S.
