    I don't think it's actually a problem, you probably just optimize unconsciously (of course within limitations, otherwise you wouldn't need coaching). It would reverse itself if you went back to the JS10, at least that's what happened to me when I switched to lighter rackets. Horrible first few weeks, but then the smash came back gradually. Right now I'm debating whether I have lost enough of my (not so great to begin with) strength to warrant getting new rackets. I also have to consider that my gearhead heart will always push for new toys, so I'll need to avoid making a quick decision :D

    the wooden handle, any markings found or is it just bare wood?
    it is not those stickers. there should be some sort of ink stamped marks on the handle indicating production date etc.....

    Has anyone tried the 7TD yet? Supposed bp of 290 mm. Sounds like a great even balanced 3U racket.

    Also owning the N7II and JS10 I can tell that switching from the JS10 to N7II was never a problem to me. While the headweight is not much difference the sweet spot really matters and is noticeable. The JS10 has a much smaller on compared to the N7II. When I come from a JS10 the N7II feels much more forgiving. IMO the JS10 is nothing for lazy days. I think that the switch from a normal head to a compact head with a smaller sweet spot might be the reason.

    I can also report that coming from the N7II to a JS10 is very difficult. While timing is not the issue, It's more the issue that the JS10 don't forgive anything while having a smaller sweet spot and the shaft is also stiffer than the N7II or N9II.

    Also probably a stiffer head, which would make it less forgiving even without the smaller sweetspot. Same thing was very noticeable on the N55iii, which doesn't have a compact head....probably just adds to the issue :D

    This is pretty much the same what I oberserved. The JS10 strung with high tension reminded me of my Voltric FB. They are both very light and therefore fast and good for direct play e.g. drives and kills. If you hit the sweet spot great and terribly unforgiving if not. For me the combination very light, stiff and high tension does not work. The N7II is much more suitable for me.

    To be fair there lies not much in terms of headweight between N7II and the JS10. For me the difference is slightly above 1g. Atm I run my preferred tension -0.5kg on the JS10 and +0.5kg on the N7II. That works excellent for me. Especially makes the transition more smooth. :) I agree that light, stiff and high tension is not the setup for everybody and his style of play/discipline. Comparing with the VTFB the JS10 is a sledgehammer. ;)

    If you search and translate hard enough, the info is on lining's Chinese site. The distributor for (most of) Europe and UK is li-ning.de
    Why do you ask?

    What robfitsy said. Li-Ning.de is the website of the European distributor. If you have any questions for them directly, their contact info can be found at http://www.li-ning.de/help/support

    Not enough details. Kindly show the "MP" marking on the cone and the butt cap. I'm not that familiar much with the serial numbering. And how much did u buy it?

    I can't make out a significant sign that it should be fake, but keep in mind I'm far from an expert in this area :D
