    I recently switched from a cheap bedini racket and now play with the nanospeed 9000X strung bg 80 25lbs but having trouble with armpain, im thinking this might come from the racket beeing too stiff for me.. would consider myself an intermediate player, like smashing and offensive play but im just getting armpain and no power at the moment.:crying:.
    thinking about switching again to the NS 7700 or armortec 700??? or perhaps any other suggestions what i should do?

    Probably too stiff. Try lowering the tension, or try the 7700, AT900T, or another nanospeed. AT700 is probably too big of a jump.

    25lbs is pretty high. i tried 26lbs a few times, but didn't really find it was that much different to 24lbs. if you're using bg65, let it be for a few more weeks to let the string tension loosen up. also, the Nano will be quite light compared to your old one i imagine. perhaps you're swinging with the same force, and getting different results? i'd just be patient

    It is most likely that your tension is too high. The stiffness of the rackets could also play a factor

    Yea ,I ever got an Armpain problem too because the extra stiff rcket
    MP 99 2U (It's really2 a dangerous beast because very difficult to tame it)
    So to solve your problem is:

    1. Go for the more flexible racket
    2. Go For a lower tension of your string

    My recommendation for a flexible racket but have a firepower is:
    AT 900T
    AT 800D
    MP 88
    Nano 8000

    If you can, try BG85 at 20x22 lb. The string is softer and more forgiving.
