So last night I got a chance to have a few swing at a two hours session at my club.
Please keep in mind that this is my second racket I have got so far after playing several years, and that I am only able to give you my impressions of the NS6k in comparison to a Yonex Isometric 800 Tour 2UG5.
Also please keep in mind that I am just 1,43m tall and got rather weak wrist muscles, so smash and baseline to baseline shots is more difficult to execute for me because I have to play "overhead" a lot.
Last night I began the first 30 minutes playing with my old racket which has done his job for nearly a decade.
Actually the main reason why I bought this new racket is because the Iso 800 is too heavy and especially very head heavy. For the past few years I didn't have a clue why it was so difficult to play baseline shots for me since I found out that there is something like head light and of course light (3U) rackets .
After the first few shots, honestly I didn't feel any difference and I got a bit disappointed but after switching several times and playing more extensive with it, it became better and better. The 6k is much much easier to move than the Iso 800 and is very well balanced. Altough it generates a little less power than the ISO 800 it could generate enough power I ever have wished for. The most important thing is, I need less amount of energy to generate the same power as with the ISO. With the 6k suddenly I could perform long range shots more easily and smash became better and easier too.
It is a fact that the 6k has got a kind of "soft touch" during impact and the reason therefore in my opinion is the new LSC system but nevertheless I never felt the feeling is bad, actually it helped me a bit to execute the shots more accurate because it reduced the vibrations during impact. But you dont have to worry about the LSC, the feel is still there. Just follow the advises of all whom tested this racket so far and use a thin string with in combination with high tension.
I chose the BG-80 @ 11kg and this is enough for me.
I let my friend play with the 6k (he is a very good player and was former German national youth cup winner) so I could see what my racket is capable of in combination with power and the right technique of my friend. What I saw made me more than satisfied. The smashes were fast, powerful and accurate !
After I saw what the NS6 is capapble of, I have to work on my technique rather than getting the latest equipment and blame the racket from nowon.
My friend also confirmed my impression that nearly any shot you execute somehow felt like a hit in the "sweet spot" no matter where you hit the ball.
Positive
* The racket is very easy to maneuver and recovery is fast.
* Headlight / Balanced
* Generates sufficient power enough for most of us
* Nice control
Negative
* Takes away "~25%" of the impact feel but actually reduces "bad" vibrations so this could be a positive criterion too.
* Generates slightly less power than the high end rackets (please consider if you are really capable of generating the max. power of a high end racket) but in my opinion more than enough.
Conclusion
The racket is really is easy to play and I recommend it to any intermediate player with allround style. But Don't worry too much, this racket is capable of executing smashes.
In my personal opinion the NS6 is a great racket which handles great and wont trouble you unless you consider yourself have got the most powerful smash. It is forgiving and just makes fun to play with.
I very very good allround racket !!!
It is a pity that this racket is not recognised by most of us and not even in the choice of people who are looking to buy a new racket.
Everyone wants the most powerful racket but honestly how many of you are really capable of "max it to the limit" ?
The only weird thing is that my NS6K comes with Muscle Power Grommets whereas you can see in the official Yonex pictures and brochures that the 6k does not come with Muscle Power Grommets.

I think this is a great racet for most of players. It can be not enought powerful for pro`s but for most of players it will be great. It was very easy for me to switch from my recent racet ( Victor Inside Wave 1500). My smashes are at the same level, control and net play are more better. The most important ad for me is easy defence. I can receiv smashes I couldn`t get with my old racet. It is very good allround racet for most of badminton players, so if you are not Lin Dan buy this racet and you will be very happy.

I have to say having used a MP99 for the last 6months i found this racket strange to hold to begin with, but before i knew it i was returning my mates smashes without even thinking about it. This is what i loved about this racket. After a while movement of the racket was second nature and it adapted well to my style of play. I was wipping shots in that would have probably gone straight out with the MP99.
I did notice a lack of venom in my smashes compared to the MP99, but i think my percentage of winners from smashes was no lower with the NS6000.
If you are in to your big smashes then this racket might disappoint, however for a balanced player who likes to attack sometimes the NS6000 will suit. In doubles it is just superb. I will probably be investing in one of these.
