    I was hitting around tonight with my friend and before warm ups were done his racket was cracked. His skill level is beginner/intermediate. He had nbg 95 or 98 at 21 lbs and he doesnt hit the ground from what i can tell. Racket is also a type X

    Sorry for the grainy pics i only had my blackberry at the time. I feel this is one of the most fragile rackts ive seen. They always seem to break between 10 and 11 oclock (10:30?) or 1 and 2 oclock (1:30)

    Ouch, that's gotta hurt (as in, mentally, not physically). If the racquet is still under warranty, he can get it replaced. Maybe he already had a crack before this, and didn't notice it? I find it kinda hard to believe that it will break just by hitting the shuttle =/ unless he's an advanced player who mishit really hard, but at 21lbs..?

    Same here, broke Ns9K X at the same place due to mishit.
    Yes, this is the most fragile racket I have come across.

    I hope my NS9000X doesn't break like that. Just wondering are the AT700/AT900 frames stronger than the NS9000 frames?

    Crashandburn and Illusionstpro how long did you own the NS9000X before the frame broke?

    Considering those chips, the racket has been through some racket clashes then correct?

    Me and Ns9K X only lasted for 2 sessions max thats all.
    Ns9K X is one of fav rackets among others I have ever tried, but it does not last long enough, hence give up and change model(s).
    Simpe, TOO fragile for me.

    Broke 3 of them, one due to mishits and 2 due to minor clashes.
    1x JP
    1x CP
    1x SP

    AT900s/AT700 are defintely stronger than Ns9K X simply because Ns9KX is the MOST fragile racket I have ever tried.

    Yonex will never say JP>US, CD, SP because it would hurt their own products.

    Like i said the racket isnt mine and i didnt even notice the other chips, good eye yall. There probably was some sort of external issue at one point either clash or ground hit that damaged it internally and finally broke last night. Regardless Im much more brutal with a lot other rackets and theyve survived much worse. ns9k= fragile.

    Id say the AT700 is slightly more durable than the NS9000's, but AT900's are stronger than the NS9000's.

    I have gone through 5 hard clashes and all resulted in paint chips only. No broken racket for me yet. BTW my NS9000X is JP so that could explain why it hasn't broke yet:p

    Isn't the CP the best qulaity out of all the codes?

    Well, seems like nanospeeds aren't really that durable at all. With reports of all these breakages, it makes me think if I should ever buy a nanospeed.
