    Hey,
    Sorry about the AT thread the other day. Apparently I have enough saved up for a 8000! :eek::eek::eek:
    And I AM getting the 8000 so this isn't about which one I should get.

    I'm curious as to what the differences between the two top line Nanospeeds are? Any insight?

    Oh and also between the 8000 and AS10 if anybody knows?



    Thanks in advance,
    Jason

    The higher the model number dose not mean its better
    what i recommend what you look at in a racket is...
    what its made of
    what yonex tech. is in it (Isometric and new T-Joint is a must ultimum/elasticti is all so recommended)
    Flex
    and Grip size
    This how i chose my next racket :)

    honestly this guy doent know what he is saying because the ns 8k is a freat racquet you dont need elastic to and ultimum ti. but firstly you should try and see if you could play wiht someone else racket and see if you like it before you buy a racket!

    Yes but if his initial racket was going to be the AT700; this racket is totally wrong for him. It's a great racket but I can't even use it. No power in the swings at all! I use the 900P, and NS9k. The 8k is so hard to tame for me.

    What is a "freat racket" ?
    i know you don't need it but i think it should be recommended
    in increase the power in a racket even if you just tap it or put very low power in to a shot this making it easier for people to realy get good in a game

    Never really tested that but stringing at a lower tension used to produce the same effect for most folks.

    But remember always look for what you like in a racket such as Head light,Head heavy or balanced and always look for your preferred stiffness!!I prefer Extra stiff with a head light to slightly head heavy feel!!
    SO thats why YY Nanospeed 9000 Type-X!!!!!!!!!

    The Arcsaber 10 Is slightly head heavy, and supposedly has UltraPEF, which should help.
    I prefer the NS8K, purely because it has a lot for power and speed, more than enough to make it worthwhile.

    For other questions like these, a search could come in handy.

    Typographical Errors

    Typographical errors are unacceptably grave errors, and should be avoided at all costs.

    The identification of a typographical error by a member is not a sign of immaturity, but the opposite. My opinion of a user who, in every posts uses multiple exclamation and question marks to get the message through is very immature, and inexperienced with forum posting.

    The Omnipotent.

    I agree with jymbalaya. NS8K has a lot of power and speed. AS10 is slightly head heavy but its a really good allrounder racket and has good power to its smashes (can provide a boom when required). I personally bought the 9000X and tried it for an hour.. Didnt like it and sold it straight away on this forumn. Was the wrong racket for me due to my preference being for a heavier head-heavy racket.

    Nanospeed series' pure-blood is NS7000, stiff and super head-light. NS8000 and NS9000 are both deviants, but I still like NS8000.

    For high-end models, it is not recommend for beginners or novice level players since they will not be able to apply fully of the racquet. I actually recommend you get a nice pair of shoes instead of a high-end racquet. When you are on the court, it's the movement that counts first.
