hi Pete, I was nearly buy the white and red SHB101 (since i saw many of my friends wear that color), finally i end up with the black and blue.I know it look a little weird, my friends said it looks heavy (but actually it's not), and i have to agree with you, its colors are hard to match with my other attires. I have to wear black short and darker color socks. But i love my black and blue shoes, it's so eye catching (especially when it caught the girls attention *ehem* haha) wow cool you're an Arc10's fan i can see... I checked the PG version last night in a shop, it's so tempting! So cool and elegant. I'm thinking of buying another racket, maybe head heavy racket... One question about zslash (as many people would ask), if you keep using alternately between arc10 and zslash, over a certain time, do your timing slightly off especially with the Z?
feel free to chat any topic ^^' it's benefit for me as well as the others. You're welcome to. NS9900 is a very head light racket. Unlike other head light racket, this Ns9900 is pack with powerful punch! High repulsion and high responsive. Good in defence, smash feel snappy (but powerful) rather than slamming feel (as what Armortec and Arc do). Excellent control around the net as well as shot placement. execute tricks and deceptions perfectly. Some people said they feel lots of vibration on their arm, but i never experience that.Maybe because of my big grip dampened the vibration well.
Praise to the Lord that even in BC i can find a believer. ^^ In badminton, there is a verse that keeps me going strong even trailing a game from behind and turn the game around with a victory! That's Phil 4:13 "I can do all thing through Christ who strengthen me."
The reason why i posted this thread is that i understand how important badminton attires are both on and off circuit. Attires can boost our confidence as well as psychologically influence a game. Beside skills, techniques, mental strength, being good-looking does matter! Xp thank you all ^^

Well, the timing is not that different...but because the size of the sweet spot is, I find that I will misthit a lot more with the zslash if I play with the arc 10 too long. If I play for a tournament and I'm playing only singles, I will play with the zslash for a good week prior to it to get used to it. Where do you play badminton?
so far not much problems with baseline clears or smashes, provided i hit the sweet spot .... even if i dont 'connect' cleanly, the end results aren't that catastrophic ..... most of the times. i use BG66UM at 26 lbs.
when i was young, i used to be in a club, unfortunately i'm not a coach favourite. I joined another club where i horned my proper basics skills. Nowadays that I'm not young anymore, me and my team (only 6 of us). We wander hall to hall, club to club, and tourneys to seek challenge and experiences. ^^ We are highly motivated and active in Badminton, only homeless (haha)... who knows one day I might establish my own club... (amen)
i strung mine with Nanogy98 at 25lbs. I love it... Was thinking to get another head heavy racket soon (since I've broke my AT700), maybe an AT900P for my single game. Anyone here with AT900P? I think i saw one ^^
