Uhhhhhh, I don't think that's as pertinent/useful as a comparison chart, which I will be doing: best attacking, best defending, best all-around, most durable, etc... I'll see how it goes. I still have my racket bag and shuttle review to finish...
Very useful comparison, thanks for posting! But how come you find NS9000's moderate? I find them rather headlight... on the X version you were spot on with your comment!
I don't feel they are headlight. They are between balanced to moderate. The ones I tested/purchased were more towards moderate and that's what I posted.
Hey dink, know when your going to have your shuttle review done? I'm placing an order in for shuttles soon and would like to know what a hard hitter like you thought about them, for durability purposes of course
Not certain, maybe in the next few days. The hardest most inaccurate of all the reviews will be shuttles because we, the consumers, cannot control where and how the shuttles were shipped nor can we control if they were baking in the sun or frozen in some wasteland waiting to be purchased. You can have the best shuttle and if it's exposed to harsh conditions, it will not be that good. Aside from that, what shuttle were you going to purchase?
The Blue is good, the Red is very good in terms of flight and durability, if you can find them. My office is 20 minutes for Mr. HiQua and he doesn't have much stock for us.
Actually that "+" is kind of a typo, any racket in bold is highly recommended. I'm going to update soon.
awesome review! though whats wrong with the w7i colours? I wouldn't call it stylish...but it's certainly dashing
Aww man... Dan... you suck... Just when I thought I have my new racket decided, you throw in some new devils... =P j/k... props for the great work... Question: There's no doubt as to why anything rated Excellent- and higher are recommended but what gives the specific Good+ rackets your stamp of approval? I'm particularly interested in your opinion regarding SOTX Woven 8 vs Gosen 3700 vs Kason TSF200 (and the Kason TSF 100 if you have any experience with it)
Edit: the NS-9000X should be in bold, highly recommended. The overall rating is relative to its peers. A "Good+" rating can be recommended a highly recommended racket. For instance, the NS-9000X. It's a great attacking racket provided you can wield it. However, defense is not that great and for me, it's not that consistent as I overswing it. But it's still a great attacking racket so I recommend it for that. The three out of four rackets you mentioned are completely different rackets. You need to play them to see what you prefer. The Woven 8 is the most forgiving and lightest, all-around racket. The 100 and 200 are relative hammers and the 3700 is...it's a different feel.
Thanks Jerry...the 7i got beat with the ugly stick. It's neither stylish nor dashing. It's a racket no one would want to steal.
just wait untill you see some of the other new wovens the woven4L is purple, with hints of black, yellow and the carbon-woven-stuff BTW, now I am posting anyway....is it me, or aren't a lot of rackets getting a "headlight" rating?
