    I just bought this racket. Haven't tested it yet so I will give you the results from a novice point of view.

    ok... just tested it on friday...

    Gosen Grapower 950Ti
    Yonex BG 70 Pro at 21/23
    Gamma Contour Grip (Under layer)
    Yonex Etec Grip (On top of Gamma, Inbetween grippy and not so grippy)

    I'm still a noobie at badminton so my terms might not be correct but I though that the racket was a perfect control racket and placing the shuttle to the rear of the opposite court was real easy. Dropping from the rear of my side was real easy too. The racket is head light so smashing was a little bit harder so I still have to get used to it. I have like 2 replacement grips stuck on so the balance point moved back a little more.

    Just tested the racket again and I was more happy this time round. I could smash with it and do what I want to some degree. I'm going to test it with just the Gamma Grip and a Gosen Overwrap to see how it feel's like. I think it'll feel better for me because i love the feel of the overwrap. Gimme some test's and I'll see if I can execute them. But no one seems to care anyways so...

    tarepanda, do you still own the Gosen 950? I am interested in buying one myself and would love to hear a long-term test review from an owner.

    Thanks.

    I am really satisified with the racket but sadly, it cracked and broke apart. The shaft is super flexible so your smashes will be more sharp but for touch shots it's not as good in my opinion. That's why I wanna try those other Gosen racekts that have the two kick point system. I would suggest those if you want a Gosen racket because they are good for touch shots and smashes...
