Yonex Nanospeed 9900 Review

Does anyone know if there I a 2nd Generation Nanospeed 9900 ? I was looking through the 2010-2011 book, and it claims that it has Ultra PEF in the shaft, then I looked in the 2009-2010 and there is no mention at all of Ultra PEF in the Nanospeed 9900, I checked the website, to see if this had been a print error but it appears that it hasn't.
So is this a new 2nd gen ?

The Ultra PEF "technology feature" is not listed under the NS9900 in the 2010 Japanese catalogue. I believe what you've seen is just a simple typo.

Yonex have a tendency to do this in the catalogues, I know it occured in one of the ultimum ti racket specs. aswell few years ago.

It's not just in the book it's on the Yonex UK website

so anyone know about wheter or not This is a different nanospeed 9900 or the same one, as they realeased in April 2009

And only on the UK website . Ultra PEF wouldn't make much sense with the NS series anyway, and a 2nd gen with no change in paintwork? ...

To add: catalogues can contain errors. I saw quite a large list for the JP one on the japanese Yonex website a short while ago, trying to find it now but unsuccesfully so far ... went way too far already, here it is: http://www.yonex.co.jp/news/2010/02/1002221400.html (more so for the tennis one I see)

It's not just one place it says that it contains Ultra PEF it says it in two places on that page. And in the book anyway like you said it wouldn't make much sence, the nanospeed range are all about repulsion, so ultra PEF wouldn't work in this racket. And yes they haven't changed the paintwork

i think they were embellishing the Specifications a bit too much. don't worry about it. if you like the NS9900, play with it.

I think if they released a new version of the top nanospeed, they would have had a big advertising campaign and some new paint

Hi guys, just still pricing indicator:
In Wuhan (DC of Hubei province) @ Yonex store: 1990 RMB (1 € equals 9,29 RMB for an indication).

Did anyone try the NS9900 2U TW version? How was the paint/frame/feel compare to SP/AS/US? As I got one NS9.9k NZ code 3U/G4 and feel a little light for me but still powerful, so I would like to buy a 2U version hoping more power and can play single. Can someone rate the 2U and 3U in term of (feel, power, control, defence, maneuverability)? Thanks.

ns 9.9k 2u appear in any other code than tw and jp?

[rapidfire]

What string do u all prefer for ns9900?

[nz2010]

According to yonex catalogue that someone posted on this forum it will be NBG95 and BG65Ti. If you want more power I think BG85 very good too but not as durable as 65 and 95. Problem with BG65Ti is the tension, you should string it at 1 or 2 more lbs in case tension drop.

I recently cut the strings off my NS9900 to prepare for a new restring and simultaneously removed the grip. Out of curiousity I measured the dry balance point without the string and grip.

It turned out the be 305mm. Is this considered head heavy?

[dawei94]

overgrip or replacement grip?
