    I can understand the prefix Nano on NanoRay, but why Ray? Anyone working in Yonex Japan comment on the concept?

    In what way? For simply having two versions of 700 or placement of Toughlex/X-Fullerene in the frame? Or ...

    "Speed of light"? :p;)

    Or perhaps a Ray smaller than 1 nanometer? :D

    Has Yonex given any release dates for these raquets or for the BG-80 Power? Also, I hate when they release twin models. If you have two raquets that are different why not give them separate model numbers? It's not like there are a shortage of numbers.

    Funny, I was thinking the same thing! :) My conection was - Ray, wasn't that the name of one of the blokes in Brokeback Mountain?

    I still want one though. Mostly because I'm a sorry a§§ Yonex sect member. I'm in the Apple sect as well, so i guess I'm an easy target.

    But I have to say that the racket I'm waiting for is the true successor to cab 20.

    They should never have stopped making the NS9000X, IMHO - it was the most complete doubles racket they ever managed. If the NR900 is like it I'll probably end up getting two.

    How do you take back a thumbs up :D? "Super head light"?? No thanks ...

    NR800 should be in the pipelines first anyway to succeed the NS8000 which I thought was discontinued based on the on sales in UK but is alive and happy in the JP catalogue?

    Nano Ray series is a new version of Nano Speed series IMHO
    just like Voltric series is the new Armotec series CMIIW

    Indeed - the NS8000, despite going through two livery iterations, now cannot be had in UK (which is a shame - it was a cracking all-rounder, and far more deserving of life than that joke of an NS7700).

    My money's on the NR900 being launched at the All England next year, so I'd put the NR800 in time for the Malaysia or Korea Open - probably the former, their team still being sponsored by YY.

    So you guess the NR900 is the NS9900 replacement?

    ^I'm hoping so - if the NS9000X had an Achilles Heel it would have been the shaft's brittleness (and, to a lesser extent, the frame cross section, which wasn't fast enough for my liking) - the NS9900 addressed both issues, but lost 5-10% of the stiffness.
