Please give me some advice as to which racket i should get. I play both single and double i use a lot of wrist in my games i do a lot of smashing and dropshots I'd say im a fairly advanced player. im wondering if i should get a nanospeed9900 or an arcsaber slash-z. ive read tons of reviews, and i still havnt come up with a solution, so im asking you experts here in badmintoncentral . thank you in advance. -young
no. ive searched for over 2 hours to tell you the truth. and ive narrowed it down to NS9900 and arc-z. But there were equal amount of people advicing ns9900 and arc-z. So to get a clearer answer on which one i should get, i decided to make a post because ns9900 and arc-z isnt a cheap racket.
I am curious.. When you have bought this expensive racket... how will you know, or verify you did the right choice, and did not select the worst one of them for you of these two rackets, your internet searching narrowed you down to ??? /Twobeer
Well, i believe there isnt a worst choice, but a BETTER CHOICE. If im investing that much money for a racket, i prefer buying one that is BETTER. And yes, i do think its better to ask around, and get advices before trying out hundreds of different models, and brands of badminton racket.
better yet, buy both, and then resell yes, you do lose some money, but roughly 90% of the cost can be recovered if you find bargains best way to know if a racket is right for you is to try it out in your hand no one person will be able to tell you how your body will adapt to the racket like quik_silver said, ask around you might be able to test out the rackets before buying them it is definitely worth your time to search for it in real life to test it out before buying less buyer's remorse after the fact
Well, if there is a BETTER choice there obviously has to be a WORSE choice as well.. Why don't you ask your coach which of these racket that will suit your game the most? /Twobeer
I've heard both are great rackets and im sure i wont regret it. I'm just looking for a BETTER racket. so no matter which racket i get i wont regret. Also, ive asked my current coach and he recommended the Arc-Z, but my former coach recommended the NS9.9k, so its really a dillemma.
I'd probably say stick with the clownsaber I've seen some people that are intermediate-advance mis-hit the shuttle so many times with the z-slash and you being "advanced" should have no problem do forewarn you, it is quite unforgiving as some of the reviews have mentioned ie, cheating back-hand defense and trying to get to a fore-hand block this can occasionally be pulled off using some other rackets but z-slash is harder
An advanced player does not have a "problem" with ANY racket.. An advanced player chooses the racket that gives him the best "feel", "consistency" and "power"... I think Z is more suited for intermediates who wants help with the power shots, but don't need/care about consitency and control. /Twobeer
9900 is better than arc z as it is more forgiving. 9900 will be a better racket for doubles as it is more suitable for a fast game and since you use more wrist. A head heavy racket will take it's toll on the wrist more.
