Everybody is saying 9900 is very fast and yet has reasonable power. That sounds exactly like Ti-10 (3rd Gen). Why do i want to pay 30% more to get a 9900 for similar play? HOw do you compare the two? Thanks.
ti10 third gen IS NOT HEADHEAVY!! its labelled head light on the shaft, but leaning to even balanced racket. only the first gen is heavy head
The Ti-10 3rd generation is the purple one and is definitely head light. Coming back to my original question, is there someone who played both and can shed some light on the topic? Thanks.
ti-10 produces more power and have a more flexible shaft compare with NS9900. If you want extra more power go for the ti10 but faster reaction, defense and control.. go for NS9900.
Thanks. I played with Ti-10 3rd gen 3U before and find it very light and fast in double games. If 9900 is even lighter, I think I will go for Ti-10.
The 3rd Gen ti-10s are not bad. I used to own 1st and 2nd gens ti-10s. Sold all of them. Only manage to try KKK's 3rd Gen's ti-10s.
HI Ants, Given your experience in rackets, how do you rate Ti-10 2nd or 3rd Generations against other "balance" rackets like MP99, ARC 10, NS9x00 series? Thanks.
snapped a couple pics for physical analysis. sorry i dont have ns9k or ti10 2ndgen only the 3rd. cant really compare the length because mp99 and arc10 is strung and ti10(3) is not. but obvious differences are the shorter handle on the ti10(3), therefore longer shaft as well. and on the last pic out of the three rackets, ti10(3)<arc10<mp99. hope this help in the physical differentiation, as i dont want to compare swing speed and everything else because i'm not pro enough, so the pros on BC can fill in
This is too much my friend. Personally 1st Gen ti-10 is the best in terms of durability and power. The most user friendly ti-10 is the 3rd gen due to its weight/make and performance. However 2nd gen ti10 is more durable than the 3rd ti10. That is how i felt..other may disagree with me. In term of user friendly my rating goes like this MP99,ti-10,Arc10 and Ns9000S and followed by X. But then i would exclude Mp99 coz it somesort the worse performing racket in terms of power and control compare to the other rackets on the list that you mention.
And I used to play with NS 7000 that was labeled head light, but the BP was 295mm and the feeling was slightly head heavy...
i have a ns7k as well how would i measure the balance point? would it be using a string and balance the racket?
I feel ti10 3rd gen is head light but my friend feel it is head heavy. I think the grip also matters as the one with a thicker grip will feel head lighter. Anyway ti10 3rd gen is a good racket for the price compare to other top end yonex series. Quick maneuver and excellent smashing. I am not sure about the power as it is dependent on user but you are able to do quick smashes in a row compare to other racket where recovery is not so fast.
Ti-10 (3rd edition) = headlight and extra stiff NS9900 = headlight and extra stiff I think that's their similarities, both can defend very well and counterattack quickly. NS9900 is slightly stiffer and lighter. It has more technologies, durability due to better designed frame and grommets, hence it's more expensive.
End of the day it's about the feel i think. You just have to try it then you know. It's like a girl. Younger girl does not mean better gf. you have to try it then u know. LOL. hope my wife don see this
Yeah, try 'em all, try 'em good! And then chose some of them *** Distanc3, measure the BP from the end of the handle.
