    i am really torn...i dunno what racquet i wanna buy.i want a racquet that has a fast swing and about the same stifness as the ti 10.is the ns9900 a good option,it came to my mind when i thought of all these characteristics .and my ti 10 broke within 5 months of purchase, the stringers said that i tringed my racquet too tight at 27 lbs.so i want somthing that can last at least 26lbs

    If you are financially affordable, you can try NS9900. Else you can try out BS10 or BS11. Both are very fast swing rackets, faster than Ti10 and they can sustain higher tension.

    *I am using BS11 28x30, Ti10 26x28.

    agreed ns9900 very fast swing. i personally have one but its stored in my bag due to my improper technique where i'm better at using head heavy racquets rather then head light ones. mind you TBH and KKK both use it and they won their fair of titles with it! ^_^

    If you can get a BS11 or a Trinity 2, they should match well to your Ti 10 in terms of balance and swing speed. They'll also withstand higher tension.

    You should go for the ns9900. Get an upgrade.

    I have a 9900 myself, and it's the best racket I've ever owned w.r.t doubles. It's definitely more durable than the Ti-10 (the yellow one, at least), so no worries there; I string mine to 26 every time. Stiffness-wise they are pretty much neck and neck.

    Compared to the 9000X, I would say the 9900 is slightly less stiff (between the S and X, actually, like a suped-up NS8000) but the head cross-section is more aerodynamic, so you get better swing speed.

    To sum up, +10 for me on NS9900. The looks... they'll grow on you;).

    One lad at my club has nicknamed it "halloween" - appropriate:D. I hated it (and have gone on record as hating it) when I first saw it, but I bought it anyway... along with the Z-Slash...
