    Hm I do not think the N90 is light. It's not sluggish, but definitely not one of the faster rackets out there. It's reasonably easy to clear with, but you have to put extra effort into drives and smashes due to weight and balance....although it'll reward you with great power if you do. Control is good, the pretty direct feel and solid weight make for controlled netshots (although disguise suffers a little because of the maneuverability). Not quick enough for doubles, but a good choice for singles and powerful XD players.

    Very durable. I have the suspicion they get softer rather quickly, but perhaps I'm mistaken and they were this soft all along. The durability is certainly impressive, they've survived some clashes and stringing at 26-31lbs is no problem. Keep in mind I'm talking about N series rackets, I don't whether it's also true for others.

    I am not sure which racket to buy, N55, N90II or N50II, i suppose in SG N55 will be the cheapest so i will probably get that :p

    You play/played the SW35, right? The N50II would probably be way too soft for you, the N55 and N90II are much closer in stiffness. Personally, I prefer the N55, because it's slightly less head heavy and thus a bit quicker. The stiffness is not very different, I think, with the N90II being stiffer.

    I played with n90, sw35, n50 , n55, n90 II.

    I have no problem switching between N90 and SW35 and N90 II. So I think the N90 and the N90II are similar to SW35. If you play more singles and XD take N90, or when you prefer Doubles and defense play take N90 II.

    Thanks for your opinions:) I am really considering N90II and N55, as they seem to fit, I have a feeling that the N90 might be just a bit too heavy for me, all though I am basing this purely on the fact that I have used AT700LTD (which I consider to be heavier than a standard AT700) I will probably end up with a N55 in the end.:)

    LD Rules, I think you should try to test them out.. Fu Haifeng where using N50-II before and it is rumored the Kason he uses i really a N50-II wannabe model :) it is in no way SOFT.. However it feels a bit less stiff than N50 .. I would say N90-II for doubles/mixed, N55 for singles..

    Well, I am getting it from SG so I think my chance to try them out, will be 0.:) anyway, it's apparently S$300+ for that, I would rather get a couple more SW35's and MX80's.

    That are some juicy prices. If you'd have to pay that much, rather get some more of the racket/s you're comfortable with...having a big collection does not help much when you break a string in a match and you have no identical backup. Trust me, I know. One of the main reasons I'll get another BS09 instead of an MX80, SW35 or T50Power...

    It felt slightly head-heavy (I would say a lite bit more head balanced than mid).
