    Hi all ....... just wondering if anyone here knows how much this racket is going for in Singapore?

    A rough conversion of the price shown in the pic (YEN$16,800) is about : SGD $150

    :D That really is a rough conversion or are you talking street price? Otherwise it's nowhere near $150 SGD

    And: wrong section as well ;) (aside from there already being two NS3000 threads)

    The most pointless racket ever made, why would anyone even need a 4U Nanospeed ?

    oops ..... just realised i set my conversion fields wrong ! :eek:

    i accidentally converted it from YEN to EUROS instead of SGD,
    Actual estimated conversion based on the price indicated on the website should be
    YEN 16800 = SGD 264 :eek:

    i did post a query in one of the other threads, but i was worried it would be missed by most.

    Anyways, apologies to all .... :eek:

    wow .... thats quite a harsh statement dont you think? ;)

    What if a 4U Nanospeed suits a certain type of player? .... or that someone actually plays better, or is more comfortable playing with one? .... does that still make the racket pointless?

    or does that make the player 'useless' because he/she prefers using a 'pointless' racket?

    bro,
    lets move on and ingorne his statement....pro player like him do not see anything useful once he using high ends racket..
    i see ur great passion in baddy, good luck and good start in ur baddy passion undertaking...try using flex racket from the start and slowly moving into stiffer shaft when ur arm build up the power..use good high end string like bg66, bg85...

    the future are urs...see u at the top !

    hahahahahahaha ! ..... thanks for the 'support' bro.

    Actually, the racket is for my wife, as a gift/reward/incentive for her enthusiasm in taking up badminton for the love of the sport and to keep fit.

    i'm just glad that my wife doesn't frequent this forum ..... for a high-beginner interested in the sport and keen to improve her game, seeing a statement like that will surely dampen any spirit.

    No bother actually ...... i know where we're coming from, and the direction we're heading in with regards to the sport. :rolleyes:

    We enjoy playing the game, that's all that matters. ;)

    Drifting even farther from the topic ...

    ;) One word: SPEED! You want your XD partner wielding a SIW35 at the net?? Or do you play with Rambo in a dress? :D

    It's probably quite a harsh statement, I am sure the Nanospeed 4U could suit certain players, but I can't see it fitting a majority of players game, sure your defence will improve, but thats it, you won't get much power from it.:) the reason I said it was pointless, is because a 3U nanospeed tends to be light enough, so why buy a 4U ?

    When have I ever said I was a pro player ? I am not a pro player !:) and FYI I still use my first racket from time to time, which was some babolat racket, mid flex head heavy. I don't always use high end rackets, as long as it is head heavy and stiff, thats fine by me.:)

    I wasn't trying to offend anyone, or dampen their spirits, I like to encourage as many people as possible to play the game, no offence was intended.:) enjoy the game, and play as much as possible.:)

    when have I said I was pro ? Please do link me to the thread I said this, sure I would love to be a pro, and I probably could if I trained hard enough, (which is what I have been doing the past few months) but I am not pro (yet)

    Eh well... My XD partner uses AT900P :p:p but a 4U version. Maybe I should convince her to use something head light.?

    dingboy: maybe you should consider the following rackets for your wife:

    Yonex AT600, Victor BS09, Apacs rackets, Arcsaber 008. Any of these are decent choices for high beginners, and they are all quite light, and reasonably priced.

    heh heh heh ..... i get that a lot actually. :D

    Just a quick (and boring) history of my nick .... i've had this nick since i was 18 when i was working in a pub, it has kinda stuck with me (too lazy to think of a new one) and has stayed ever since ......
    ........ that was 20 years ago. :eek:

    Yes .... i'm now 38 years old, married for 11 years and a father of 2 .... and yes, my nick is still 'dingboy'. :D

    I totally agree with you about playing the game with a loved one, it's one of the highlights of my life.

    Hi 'LD Rules!' ....... let's intro ourselves and start again. :)

    Anyway, no harm done ....... since you set the record straight, all is good.

    Maybe that's also the bane of the internet, when your true intentions come across as something totally different.

    Anyways, continue training and playing hard ...... i'm sure you'll turn pro one day. :D

    Many thanks for tip ..... will definitely consider getting these rackets for her as she improves ... and when it's time for another gift/reward/incentive. :)

    Have you/or your wife had the chance to try out this racket?

    I'm very interested in this racket, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of reviews for it. My local baddie store doesn't carry any. Heck, not even the official US Yonex site have any details on it.

    I just want to know whether the 4u/headlight combination sacrifices power for smashing or clearing, etc.

    I would appreciate any comments on this.

    Hi there bro (or sis?) ..... :)

    Yes, my wife is still using the NS3000.
    She actually prefers it over her Arc 9 (based on the number of times she reaches out for her NS3000 to play, rather than her Arc 9)

    As with all headlight rackets, your reflex reactions will defintely be much faster .... so net play speed and reaction time will go up a notch.

    However, the increase in speed is at the expense of raw power.
    To generate power for smashes or clears, more effort has to be put in.
    It's a trade-off, shall we say?

    Since i mostly play mixed doubles with my wife, and she's mostly at the net area, not too big a problem.
    But there'll be times when she has to cover the rear, and that is when the lack of power becomes a problem. :(
