No, I don't think I'm that naive. However, all other attibutes aside, my first requirement is the balance of the racquet. I generally prefer racquets in the 285-290 range. Although my BS11 is 292, this is probably as head heavy as I would like to go. With balance points, you can fortunately quantify to some extent unlike other attributes such as feel, control, power etc... Given the reported BP of 300mm and the fact that several people have stated that this feels heavy, it sort of confirms this - as no player (worth their salt) would ever consider a racquet in the 285-290 range as HH. Despite this, Yonex considers the NS9900 as HL even though the BP is around 285 - which to me is still even balanced. But when it comes to other attributes, such as torsional resistance, feel, sweetspot size/position, power, control etc etc, I would not just take the opinion of a couple of people.
You can't tell me a Kinect is better than a joypad... It's impossible to use a Kinect and look like a competent adult.
"But 'New is always better' is my oldest rule, which makes it the best!" -Barney Stinson Sorry. Couldn't resist
Newer doesn't mean better when it comes to anything. More technologically advanced, yes, but better, not always.
structural and aerodynamic properties yes maybe. material?.i dun thk so. but i buy yy claim in the matrix. i feel my ns9900 has the best repulsion and arcs generally has some kinda hold feel which to eq to numb or damp. btw i hate arcs, almost all of them, kinda show yy is consistent.
The good thing about a racket is that if the new one isn't as good as the old, then you can always go back to the old... not so for girlfriend.
4 Z-Speeds have just arrived. Have to wait till Monday night to try it out. Will string one at 26/28 #s and the other at 24/26 #s.
The bottom of the frame is chunky, but the top is slim. It's actually more red than the picture. First impression...have to hit a shuttle NOW.
At least they're in your hands... I've shelled out for two and they haven't even been shipped yet! Is there much thinning at the SBZ?
