    Despite my red N50 playing like a baseball bat for the first hour, it now feels pretty much "right". Gave me a huge power hike and actually likes high tension - I'd take it up to 32 with little worry. As j4ckie says (and I said in my review) they do vibrate/buzz a bit when fresh, but this goes away.

    Two flies:

    1. Weird main spacing near 2/10 o'clock;
    2. Needs USGs at the bottom (so I added some)

    Does that mean you're going to stock up on N90's now so you don't run out? :cool:

    Interesting~ I'll try out the top with regular grommets next time I restring, but the bottom will stay just cuz they're pretty well settled in!

    HUM... good question~ If they were cheaper, I'd defintely pick up a few more! I haven't bonded with a racket this well since the AT700's. Usually with other racquets I use, I find faults in them when I compare it to the AT700. After switching between the N90 and my AT700, it's almost sad for me to see some weakness of the AT700 :(

    In general you should change them when restringing if the strings has cut trough them.

    Actually, it should be the other way around - with the N90 being harder to handle. It's definitely slower than the N90II. I can't say too much about the power since I'm not used to either anymore, but I would guess the heavier racket should also allow more max. power, so that would make the N90 more powerful.
    The N90II is much better for drives and net play, though - good solid feeling and feels decidedly less like an iron club :D

    Corrected for the 2nd time.. What is wrong with me?Thanks j4ckie, that is what I'm going to say initially, after all, why would I bought something that is harder to handle in the first place? :)Hopefully no more correction after this..lol

    Bartwuster what type n90II do use.. Because I see at shop there 2 kind of n90II. 1. N90II without emblem, it has medium flex same like n90 classic. Another one is..2.N90II s-type it has soft flex..Hmm I try just a little swing that n90IIs-type is more faster than n90II classic maybe because of the shaft more flex.. So I want to ask is that still have a good power for smash if there shaft has soft flex.. Thx

    I'm using the N90II, not the S-Type..
    I'm loving the racket more each and every session.. :)
    Sorry, but just like N90, I don't have any experience playing with the N90II S-Type.

    I'm using NBG98 at 24x26lbs.
    Voltric 80 is not sold yet; still deciding to keep it, or sell it and get either the SW35 or MX80.. :)
    Been using the SW36 and SW3150 before, but never tried the SW35.
    N55 that I owned before also good, but I prefer the N90II.. :)

    Okay, so I wanna get a BP380 and looks like my little friend in Singapore more than likely won't trade with me (although I'm still holding out despite the fact that the postal service for Singaporeans appears to be a very scary thing).

    Where's the cheapest place to buy one from (that will ship internationally)?

    If you love the N90II, you owe it to yourself to try out a N90 sometime. For myself, it was night and day.

    The only place I can think of that would carry such a racket is the flagship store in SG Ion orchard:) maybe try and find someone in SG willing to get you it and send it to you. Can't think of any only shops that would have this...

    Is there even such a thing as a BraidedPower 380? I know there is a flame 380, but I have not seen a BP380, is that a new model? does it come in A/B/C versions as the BP300???
