I don't have a top 5 because I have only tryed two. My first was just a low-class Yonex Isometric 30 DF, which was a good racket to begin with. But now I have moved on to the Yonex Nanospeed 9900. It is a fantastic racket because it is very light which helps me generate more swing speed for harder smashes and deeper clears. It is also very agile and manouverable due to it's lightness. It is very stiff however so I wouldn't recommend this racket to sombody who is still stuggling to get power on their shots, especially smashes, because it will acctually take power off your shot if you do not have the required shoulder strength. For a less physically strong player I would reccomend a more mid-flex or mid-stiff racket. The Nanospeed 9900 does have one flaw though, it is it's drives. I find that you have to put a little bit more effort into drive shots, probably because of the stiffness of the racket.

Thom_bad, can share a little on the racquet differents (power, control, drops, defense) between your NS9900 and arc 7? Btw, what type of player are you.?
1) MP100 (Stiff and powerful and all round) 2) Ti10 1st Gen (Stiff and powerful) (Produce a loud metallic sound with Ti68 String during Jump Smash ) 3) AT800 OF (Head Heavy and Strong Smash, But a bit weak in defense) 4) AT700 (Old Colour)(Head Heavy and Strong Smash, But the shaft get flex quickly and need to replace soon) 5) NS9000x (Fast but Head is too Light, not enough power) 6) MP99 (powerful, but the shaft is a bit too flex for me) 7) Ti8 (Stiff and powerful, but a bit slow)
After 8 months and a few rackets added, here's my new list: 1. YY NS9900: Still the best racket IMO super fast and extra stiff attack 2. Li-Ning N90II: has overtook AT900T to the 2nd spot, very powerful racket but just a little bit slower than NS9900 3 & 4. Flypower Warrior 8 & AT900 Technique: I place these 2 rackets on par as I cant pick which one is better 5. YY NS9000X: As fast as NS9900 but not as powerful
my favourite 5 choices are My choices are 1) Yonex arm tech 900 power 2) Yonex arc 10 3) Head nano series 4) Yonex muscle power 100 5) Yonex carbonex 21
i like the NS9900 however i dont ve the shoulder strength and lesser physically player...so which specific racket i should go for ?
updated below: 1. Victor SUPER INSIDE WAVES 35 3u G4. Muscles with class! 2. Arc ZS 2u G3 (JP) - best smashing racket of all time, no question, period! 3. RSL X2 GOLD 2u G3 - HARD hitter! 4. Sotx Woven 16 (mid stiff); Mizuno TC700 (Gen 1); Yonex NS9900, NS9000X, NS8000, AT700 -- thereabouts relegated to collections purpose but they're definitely up there with ''Z'' best! 4. Fleet Woven 2000 (good thing I didn't went for Woven 1000 the moment it got out.). A mid stiff racket imo. 5. Number 4 has bump-off lotsa rackets, so no number 5!
