Thx for the review Ants! I Enjoyed reading it. However it kind of lead me to more questions than it answered (But YY here has already promised me an early ex of the racket right after official release). Anyway The review raised some questions, that I hope, you can answer. You say headlight.. Headlight as in more headlight than 9000X? More headlight than NS7K? please give some refrences with other rackets, otherwise it is really hard to make some conclusions about the racket based on the review According to your scores, I understand your view is that the NS9000 is better or equal to ARC-10 in all department, so it should easilly be the best Yonex racket overall?!?! In your opinion, correct? I am also abit confused about your comments about the power, you compare it to be equal to AT900T in the power department, but you rated the 900T below NS9900 and ARC-10 in your scores?!? I don't get it.. Do you feel the Power is equal to 900T or ARC-10?? How would you rate the stiffness relative to NS9KX,S,ARC10,ARC9 ? Cheers, Twobeer
Good and excellent questions Twobeer.. i just Pmed u my answers to your question. I hope its satisfactory to you. If further questions from other guys... you can just PM me. This is a review thread.. not a Q and A thread.
Excellent review Ants but i am unlikely going to buy it since i love my budget rackets i currently have.
For this time i will put the answer here. As for the score.. the rule here is that you must not compare it directly to other rackets as its has their own individuality. That is like comparison already. I wouldnt want to compare the result with other rackets. For example..... AT900T Effort 7 Power Output 9. NS9900 Effort 6.5 Power Output 9. Therefore here NS9900 is a more powerful racket. This is just for example only Not necessary true. Overall it might be the best racket.. i say MIGHT. But also depends on the player, tension and what string you use. I might say AT900 Power is the best.. but some might say AT700 or Arc10 is the best. But then i think this is great racket to use. I dont rate the rackets based on the results with other rackets. I rate them individually. No one racket is superior than the rest. If it is.. then most Pros will just use one model of racket. As in headlight... NS9900 feels slightly lighter than NS9000.
Thanks for that, ants. You're like FedEX, you always deliver . Great review and I now think I shall be getting one (hopefully 2U).
maybe due to long break of holidays, some other hiccup, now just read through this thread. this is the post on the month..... nevertheless, thanks for the guy who write the review.
ants since u said there is some vibration will it be enough to injure the elbow or wrist when we hit hard?
i'm keen to see what it looks like. now that GL is not being sponsored by yonex no more, i wonder who's going to be the guinea pig at the AE.
I'd imagine it'll be a similar price to the other top of the range Yonex rackets. Maybe ants can tell us more.
