Yonex Nanospeed 9900 Review

[YY_PLAYER]

I've seen in a dutch webshop, belgro.com, that they all ready have the NS9900 on sale. The NS9900 has a price off 130 euro (around US$ 165,=).
That seems me a nice price for such beautiful NS9900.

Is there all ready another store in the world that has the NS9900 in the store?

I am wondering are these racquets SP coded?

I got mine today and had a go with it.
It is SP coded - 210192SP

If you overlook the marketing mumbo-jumbo like X-Fullerene, HMG, etc., the Nanospeed 9900 is simply the Nanospeed 9000X in new colours

I will post pictures in another thread.

Did you get the 2U or 3U version?

how does the racket play? how does it feel compared to arc10?

is it super stiff like 9000x?

cheers

having heard about the fragility of the NS i was quite hesitant but after seeing it first hand, the lollipop started to grow on me and bought it then and there (BG85 at 27lbs). after that, i had to wait for 3 days until i could take it out on a ride. initial impression is that it's an extremely light racquet; similar to that of the Arc7 with that slight hint of head heaviness.

today was the first outing and it gathered a large population of people because of the lollipop design!!! warm up hits were surprisingly solid; clears were effortless; control is quite excellent - the shuttle goes to your intended target; smashes were powerful (to my surprise better than the Arc10); and i actually did a backhand clear - all in par with what Ants mentioned in his review

the only problem i seem to have is that due to the lightness of the racquet, defense is a problem and something i will have to adjust to. i tend to swing it faster than normal, but during the fast exchanges, i can get my racquet up in position without any problems.

it's an unbelievably fine racquet for doubles and, in my opinion, on par with the Arc10. now i have to make an executive decision on whether to purchase another one and retire the 10, or leave it at just the one 9900. it'll be a hard decision to make....it'll be even harder if Ants "approves" of the new Arcsaber!!!

Yes, it's extremely light... something surprising for a stiff-shaft racquet.

I don't know if you have used the Nanospeed 9000X.
If you have, you'd have difficulty calling the 9900 a 'new' racquet

[z3048018]

(un)fortunately i have not...after what friends have been saying, i thought it would be a waste of money

i thot the 9000X is not head light, more closer to balance and x-stiff.
could 9900 be like 9000S but x-stiff like the 9000X ?? I haven't tried it but rather trying to extract your thots online

[Oldhand]

With the ArcSabers and the Armortecs still going strong, it will be tough for Yonex to hawk this 'new' Nanospeed. There is no niche (as indicated by the chart) that this racquet fills... except maybe the craving forsomething newer

Actually am thinking of getting either arc 10 vs nanospeed 9900; have used nanspeed 9000S before but felt it is abit too head light for my liking... smashes are less powerful..... any advice?

Try using a 3UG5 or 2UG5.
