Hi, Im looking for a new racket and i think i have decided on a head light/balanced type. Has anyone got any personal preferences on these rackets? I love the look of the new TI-10! My racket background has been - Slim 10, Swing power (cant remeber the number - got stolen), TI-10 (old-head heavy), MP99. Thanks for any response.
The new ti-10 is a bit headheavyer than the two others. The ns8000 is a bit stiffer than the ti-10. The ns6000 is in my opinion the most headlight and way to flexible, feels wabbly. For me the new ti-10 is by far the best of these racquets. It has a lovley feel and lots of power. I'd advice anyone to try it. Very good racquet.
I'm not altogether certain as to how well-advised it is to buy a racket based (primarily) on appearance (although I personally like the way the new Ti-10 plays)... There's a thread for Ti-10 users, check-it-out... Comments, (more Comments) Some 'seasoned' players tell me that the NS8k plays VERY similar to the old Slim-10 (which you have used)... Personally, I feel that the NS8k is a very maneuverable (quick) racket which packs a BIG punch. Some are concerned with it's 'fragility, though. Apologies, can't comment on the NS6k as I've never swung it. Cheers!
Slim 10 is similar to the Ns8k, But not a fan of these two rackets. Ns6k is headlight and very flexible. A very forgiving racket if you were to have off center hits. Fast in defence and net play, power wise is decent need wrist motion for to generate power and angle in smashes. My main racket for 2 yrs. Ti-10 (New) similar to the old Ti-10. Power and control is still there except that the head is light which is means a faster swing speed is required. Best is try out the rackets before commiting ya.
Also the ARC Saber 7 looks like an interesting racket just not sure the power will be as great as a TI-10 (new)?

'Quick' & very maneuverable racket which is 'forgiving' and easy to adapt to. When you get sufficient headspeed, smashing power is more than adequate...
I've tried out a NS6K before, i agree it is definintly very headlight and flexible. It wasn't the racket for me haha. But I guess everyones different.
I've tried a NS7K a few times [strung @ 25lbs with Ashaway MPXL] Although i have tried it I havn't tested it long enough to give you much info. But I felt really good power.
