    Only have played with my N90-II and low/mid-end UC2500B and a few hits with N90 and N55, so I wouldn't really know what the "Li-Ning feel" is as a reference, though. :eek:

    I am thinking to buy TSF300A or TSF500. According to its specs, TSF500 has BP 297mm while TSF300A only 295mm. But on the Kason chart, TSF500 is place NOT on power axis but on technique/control. How could this be? I supposed headheavy rackets are ALWAYS on Power/Attack axis and not the opposite. I'm currently using VTZF II 3U and loving it. Thinking to get a slightly "friendlier" racket,...that still pack power for smashing

    The 500 is even balanced. Comes out at roughly 300mm BP.

    that's strange, if TSF500 with BP297mm is considered even-balanced (among all Kason), then why TSF300A/D & TSF300Ti with BP roughly 285-290mm is considered "power" racket? I have Twister C7 (sadly F9 is permanently out of stock from my seller) and i like it in term of feeling. Looking for more stiffer and headheavier (unfortunately TSF300A is also out of stock) which only left me with TSF300D, TSF300Ti RED & GOLD, & TSF500 RED. Which one is the best option for stiffer and headheavier among all those? Specs says TSF500 has BP295-300mm, while the other TSF300D & TSF300Ti which are placed as powerful have only 285-290mm.

    I have C7 and if compared to VT80 & VTZF II, it is definitely not "stiff" BUT the feedback of C7 is very great. Yonex VT pretty much have numb feeling, while C7 feel like i'm hitting the shuttle with my own skin. on the chart TSF300 is above C7 for "power", while TSF500 is closer to F9. I seriously wonder how do Kason determine which is which belong to power or control axis. Apparently headlight could also be placed on Power axis, and vice versa.
