    FYI,

    The NS9900 felt so good that I sold that one right after a guy tried it out for 30min. He loved it. It just sucks that I had to sting another one up last night...

    PS, I did not pay MAP and he got a great deal on that NS9900 too.

    I'm sure this is a great racquet.
    In fact, a few of those who tried it were going on and on with: 'Ohh, it's sooooo light' :)

    It's just that it doesn't work for me :p

    Haha... spot-on warning :D

    The AS-10 is a Yonex shuttle - one of its lowest grades.
    The ArcSaber 10 or Arc-10 is the racquet :)

    So far i dont know if there is people who broke their NS9900. But i can say that this racket is durable and can withstand high tension stringing. :)

    It's still early days yet. We didn't hear any Arc10 horror stories for a while.

    BTW, the pics make the racquet really look like candy bars....or those things in old barber shops...
    In real life, they are much more metallic and cooler :p

    Hi Ants,

    How is NS9900 compared to Arch Saber 10?

    Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, so tempting!

    Thanks.

    First, a long time supporter of Cab30 switches.. now, a proponent of the ARC10 is contemplating :eek::eek:...

    Well... I prefer Arc Saber 10. I will not purchase to test this time :D.

    Unless ANTS says that if I like Arch Saber 10, I will certainly love NS9900... :D

    Thanks.

    Ns9900 is much quicker compare to ARC10. NS9900 favors doubles players as well. Easy to use... however ARC10 is heavier than NS9900. But both packs heavy punch. Ns9900 have better repulsion sound as well.

    Defending wise.. NS9900 is better overall compare to ARC10.

    Time to switch? ehheheh

    Hi ANTS,

    Thanks for thy response.

    Most probably I will stick to Arc Saber 10. I had tried NS9000X before, but... don't quite like the racket. Well.... as what people used to say, "Bo feel leh!"...:D

    Thanks again.

    If you have an opportunity. Tryout the NS9900. Btw NS9000X and NS9900 have totally different feel from each other.
