Yonex Nanospeed 9900 Review

**teoky** · 02-24-2009, 07:24 AM

I am currently in HK and I saw the NS9900 and also the new series of AT ! It is already available here ! The AT600 really looks a the AT900 technique and also I do prefer the color scheme of the NS9900 compared to the NS9000.

Saw the AT70 and the head is big !

Price for the NS9900 is good here, around HK$1100 or S$220.

ne one can tell me if there is a big difference with this and the ns9000X other than faster racuqet speed. I love the ns9k type x!!!!!!!

in my opinion, the "lollipop" is equivalent to the Arcsaber10 in weight

So jealous................I'm very tempted to buy it but I think I'll wait a little bit.

you know, i too was planning to wait and see, but i don't know why i made that phone call during lunch and my friend said that the SP 3UG4 was available....the rest is history...one of my colleague said that he was quoted HKD$1680 for the JP version. my jaw just fell to the floor!!

What do you mean by big ? Like Wilson's racquet heads ?

I'll definitely be going for the 2U version when I take the plunge. Enjoy it.

I'm guessing he means oversized. It is a beginner racket which is probably why it has an oversized head.

what is HK coded racket? HK or SP coded?

**teoky** · 02-24-2009, 07:27 PM

Just for your info, the NS9900 I saw in HK are SP coded, so I think Singapore should have it soon.

Wowo,$220 does sound like a good price...I just tried Classic sports and checked with Mr Soh, no plans to bring it in yet!

What is the difference between the "SP/IP" coded racquets and the "JP" coded racquets?

I think I better clarify, it is HK$11xx but in my original post I said "around HK$1100".

Don't want people beating down on my door to ask me where to get at exactly HK$1100

**quik_silver** · 02-25-2009, 02:32 AM

e78.com.hk quoted a price of $1200hkd for the ns9900 w/bg80, its a okay bargain for a new racquet. and a side thing for those who interested in at700 (old), a IP coded for $1600hkd, i just noticed it when i was browsing around.

I just realized badminton tryouts for my school startled on the same day the 9900 came out. I wonder if I should go look for one just to see how it is.

Hi Ants,

Since you tested the pre-production (or prototype) model, you confirmed that the pre-production model has Elastic-Ti alloy?

I thought the production model has Elastic-Ti, but am dissappointed that that it doesn't after physically examining the racquet.

Adding to the confusion, the Yonex website:

http://www.yonex.com/swf/ns9900/main.html

Mention that the frame is made up of HM Graphite + X-Fullerene
and the Shaft is made up of HM Graphite + Fullerene.

Anyway, I think Yonex should name it Nanospeed 8800 instead of 9900

. Thanks for the review btw, I think the performance of the racquet is more important
