which racket is as fast as Yonex NS9000, but has slightly more punch and power?

For me i get the most out of a racket that:

A. Has a head heavy BP (around 295-300mm)
B. Is light (80-84g)
C. Is strung to a high tension 28lb

A racket like this gives me a brilliant all round game.

I work it out like this:

76g - 83g - Head Heavy
84g - 89g - Even
89g + - Head Light

I try and find a racket where i can swing the head fast to get the most out of the strings and be able to flex them. When i go by this i tend to have the strings between 25-28lbs dependent on how fast i can swing the racket. For me i get the most out of the strings in terms of power but have the string tension for good control. It seems a bit backward but i find a head heavy racket that is 90g i swing too slowly and too fast for a light head light racket.

its hard to find these specs as they are mostly the opposite for power or control but Dink has a T2 that is perfect for me

If you want to pack more punch i go for Carlton Tours, the Vapour Trail being the most recent. Good even racket and light at 84g.

It all depends on your game, if you are a fast swinger even with a very heavy racket then i would go with the Elite 89g and packs a mean punch, if you can flex a high tension then would be great for control.

 

Victor Bravesword 10 i think.......almost identical swing speed (frame design really help for cutting the air), stiffness and little bit head heavy...but of course i suggest you try first

 

Erm ... that is just weight (2U, 3U, 4U) and not balance point (headlight to headheavy)

Maybe you can check out that ZELM PowerPlay 10000 since you are in Singapore anyway ... or NS9900

 

I mean i like a racket at 76-83g that is head heavy as opposed to head light or even. Thought it was clear

 

Yep, maybe you could've used & or + instead of - but most of all now that I'm behind a normal sized screen again I'm beginning to understand the "complaints" about the wide columns in the new bc software version . I skipped through your text below a little too quickly

9000S or X btw?

 

What is the BP of NS9000/9900 ?

 

I tried my friends and found it a more even balance, with his grip edging towards head light

 

mw NS9000S BP 280mm, NS9900 BP 285mm all in empty condition no addtional grip and no string

 

NS9900 is slightly a little more head heavy and swing faster than NS9000. Both still lack a bit of power. Try Arc 8DX, a great even balance racket more head heavy, more solid than NS9900 and almost as fast as the NS9900.

 

Interesting... approx what's the bp of Arc 8DX? 290mm?

 

I think bp is around 285mm.

 

Unfortunately NS9000 and NS9.9K are YY fastest racket, i cant think of any model as fast as them. Knowing that it will lack in power I believe YY designed NS9900 very stiff to compensate. So NS9900 is the most powerful racket under the circumstances.

The difference in releasing power between a head heavy racket in comparison to a stiff racket lies on the wirst and swing movement/power. Depending on whether one is a big swinger or a wristy player, preference will be determined.

So my recomendation is (under YY bracket) the AT900T. Its a head heavy racket but relatively quite light and fast, suitable for doubles players looking for power.

 

I got AT900T, NS9900 and Arc8DX. For speed ns9900 is the fastest follow by arc8dx then at900t. Most power is arc8dx, ns9900 and at900t are similar. If you got ns9000x then arc8dx will give you great power and more solid. This is what I feels, of course other people might be diff. In the end I think best for you to try out yourself.

 

That can be true, as i never tried 8DX so cant comment. If thats the case, 8DX must be stiffer or head heavier (or some combination of both) than AT900T.

 

i believe fastest racket in term of defend should be NS6000 coz its the lightest racket head based on yonex chart.
