ns9900 vs. Ti10 (3rd gen)

[Zabee]

hmmm MYR 400 for TI10 .....

[y_o_n_e_x_m_a_n]

MYR 400 = good deal

hurry up, stock up your Ti 10 3rd Gen

[Zabee]

i'm sooooooo obsessed by it now .. everyone has only good words on this lil "fella "

[adonis]

hmm i'm sure Ti10 is a great racket as many BCers use it and comment so. but how does it compare with other similar rackets?

i would think rackets like the Panda Power Trinity and the Apacs Tantrum 200 are similar rackets. Of course, Yonex being the most expensive one, followed by the Panda Power and the Apacs lowest priced.

[Zabee]

what about Li Ning ?? did they "release " that version ?

[adonis]

Probably the N55 or the N50. But I didnt include it in my list as Li Nings are far overpriced.

[Zabee]

i totally agree with you ..........imagine N90 Woods at nearly MYR 1000, while i saw a similar N90Woods by Impact only cost around MYR200

Li-Ning N90 = Lin Dan

Impact N90 = Kampung Lin Dan

hahaha, just kidding here

i never try a N90 before, and from the picture it doesn't look good

but when i get a hold on the real racket itself, i can say N90 is a solid built racket, feel firm and heavy, and the paint job surprised me, really nice and sharp

i believe it is a good racket, if not Lin Dan won't use it as his weapon

but it is a bit pricey even compared to Yonex high end racket

RRP at MYR 1059, but after discount you can get it at MYR 840

Ti 10 3rd Gen is NOT a "fella"

it is a "she"

be gentle on "her" and "she" will repay you back with good "service"

here a review on NS 9900:

from http://badmintan.blogspot.com/2009/0...00-review.html

Flex: Extra Stiff
Balance: Headlight
Composition (Frame): H.M. Graphite, X-Fullerene
Composition (Shaft): H.M. Graphite, Fullerene
Weight / Grip Size: 3U (85.0-89.9 g) / G3, 4, 52U (90.0-94.9 g) / G3, 4, 5
Technologies: X-Fullerene, Isometric, Built in T-joint, Nanoscale Fullerene, C.S. Cap

Review Date : 22nd March 2009
Launch Date : Feb 24 2009
Racket Type : Yonex NanoSpeed 9900 JP
Specs : 2UG5
Balance point: 285+/-5 mm
Strings: Yonex Nanogy98 Tension: 26lbs
1 Piece Stringing Stringing Machine : Pacific Stringing machine
Grip: Original Grip + Wilson Pro Overgrip
Shuttle Used: RSL tourney 1

First Impression: The anticipation is finally over, when I opened my shipment fron shuttle house Japan, I am amazed how beautiful this racquet look. The racquet has 1 dominant color, black. Red is present at 10 and 2 o'clock, striped ala AT900P. The Metallic orange stripes adorned with white stripes looks beautiful, sort of break the silhoullete of the racquet. The orange color reminds me of a twirling stick candy common in Western counries. Moreover, the bright orange also gives the impression that you are charging up power/electricity to be unleashed. It feels comfortable when I handle the racket, I balance the unstrung racquet on my pinkie finger and measured the balance point, which is true to Yonex specs, headlight. The flex of the racquet is rated extra stiff which is accurate.

Warm Ups: The racquet has a solid feel, kinda like the NS9000 series. The speed at which the head swings is extremely fast, exactly like a Ti-10. For not so advance players, this can cause some pain in your wrist and shoulders. The racquet has a very aerodynamic slim head which translate into superfast reaction/swing speed. During clears/drives I did feel some vibration. Nevertheless it does not interfere with the control of the shuttlecock as well as drop shots. Baseline to baseline hits is comfortable. Smashes are on par with AT900P, and placement is very accurate. The racquet has a combination of the power of a head heavy racquet and speed of a headlight racquet.

Game Time: Accuracy with backhand serve is excellent, forehand high serve goes high and far. Drives are excellent, both offensive and defensive drives, due to headlight balance. Defense is excellent, especially backhand defense. The new CS cap allows thumb grip for faster reaction time and easier for netkills as well. The clear and smashes are excellent. Although the follow through feels like a headheavy racquet, due to the very fast head speed. Lifts and net shots are easy. This racquet has very good playability both front court and back court. Backhand with this racquet is superb, the swing speed allows easier clears and smashes.

Conclusion: NS9900 is the latest Nanospeed high end series. It definitely has the fastest racket head swing compare with the rest of the NS Series. Combined with the extra stiffness of the shaft, this racquet can really sting with smashes and drives. Durability of the racket frame is enhanced by doing away with the extra grommets of the NS9000 series making it strung the sameway as Arcsaber 10. The 3U version of the racquet is lighter and has the same characteristics as the 2U and but 3U easier to use in doubles. I would recommend a 3U for doubles and a 2U for singles.

Feel: 9/10
Control: 9.5/10
Power: 9.5/10
Defense: 9.5/10
Maneuverability: 9.5/10
Pros: Very fast head speed, durability, good defence, power and Maneuverability
Cons: Price
Suitability: 3U for Intermediate/Advance Doubles Players and 2U for singles player

here's another review on Ti 10 (3rd Gen)

from http://badmintan.blogspot.com/2009/0...ti-10-3rd.html

so we can now compare NS 9900 vs Ti 10 (3rd Gen)

Flex: Extra Stiff
Balance: Headlight
Composition (Frame): H.M. Graphite, Ti-Mesh
Composition (Shaft): U.H.M. Graphite
Weight / Grip Size: 3U (85.0-89.9g) / G3,4,5　2U (90.0-94.9g) / G3,4,5
Technology: Built in T-joint, Muscle Power, Ti-mesh

Review Date : 22 March 2009

Racket Type : Yonex Ti-10 Mesh SP
Specs : 3UG5
Strings: Yonex BG66 Tension: 25lbs ,
1 Piece Stringing Stringing Machine : Pacific Stringing machine
Technology : Titanium Mesh, Muscle Power, Ultra High Modulus Graphite, T-joint
Grip: Cyber Plus Beta plus Wilson Pro overgrip
Shuttle Used: RSL Tourney

First Impression: Beautiful color, a mixture of purple, silver and black. There's a hint of red on the sides at 9 o'clock and gold decorating the shaft. There are 2 x ti mesh decals at the sides. The racquet is headlight about 285+/-5mm. The racquet has high swing speed, owing to slim shaft. The racquet is 'long' compared to a shorter carbonex series. This racquet feels solid and well constructed. I found its flexibility to be stiff, rather than extra stiff.

Warm Ups: The swing of this racquet is very fast. It is fantastic when lifting the shuttle and driving. The clears are easy to excecute. Howver, this racquet has it's own momentum and the follow through can be tough on the wrist and shoulders. The racquet is headlight and aids in backhand. Does not feel tiring to use.

Game Time: Serving backhands with this racquet is excellent, I can feel that this is a dedicated doubles racquet. Flick serve is easy with this racquet. Driving with backhands and forehands is superb. One flick and the shuttles almost touch the backcourt baseline. The clear is also good, but need to control your strength. The smash is fantastic, with a big square head, the follow through is excellent and can generate quite a powerful smash for a headlight racquet. What can I say for defense, this racquet is arguably one of the best defending racquet. The combination of headlight balance and square head gives momentum, allows quick short swing action, allowing easy crosscourt lifts to baseline. Netkills are easy too with this weapon. Drops and sliced drops are average with this racquet, thus, the feel is average with this racquet, hence it's less suited for singles play.

Conclusion: It's the 3rd reincarnation of the popular Yonex Titanium Mesh 10. The racquet is perfect for the doubles game. It is designed for superb defense, great driving and powerful smashes. For its price, its performance rivals the top of the line Arcsabers, Armortecs and Nanospeed. Moreover, this racquet is a proven commodity in international competition, commonly wielded by Malaysian and China doubles national team.

Feel: 8.5/10
Control: 9/10
Power: 9/10
Defense: 9.5/10
Maneuverability: 9/10
Pros: Fast Racket Speed, Maneuverability, power and performance over price ratio
Cons: May not hold very high tension and may cause sore joints for less advance players
Suitability: Intermediate/Advance/professional Doubles Players
