    I think just knowing this number (38.5g head weight), we can tell if this is even balance or slight heavy on the head or head light? ;)

    If you don't like compact head racket, dont buy this NF800

    If you like zf2, duora zs, zspeed,then nf800 is superb for you

    I don't like zf2, 40%like DZS, 80% like Nrzspeed. So should I buy Nf800? Haha

    Just got my 4U NF800. Will try it on Monday.

    I'm currently using 3U NR900. Hopefully this 4U NF800 is not too headlight for me, otherwisw might have to switch to 3U.

    Wha? That's similar to Arc 11!
    (But mind you, this is compact frame.)

    It's an Arcsaber Z11 lmao. I actually have high hopes for this. Improved ARC11 perhaps. But the swing speed even with strings on it is phenomenonal for a boxy frame.

    We'll see bro. I'll probably take my time on this one. I haven't settled on a grip setup at all yet.

    Apparently this is what I mean, a guy newly strung his NF800 at 25lbs then his string snapped the next day following by broken frame.

    i hope we're not going to see a pattern like this with other people's 800's. It would be damn shame if a racket of this calibre got plagued with durability issues.

    3U/4U?

    Ouch, that must hurts a lot. Wonder if using any aftermarket ZF2 grommet could help the case tho.

    Hopefully not as bad as the Jetspeed fiasco orz

    Can't say anything yet. Gripped it too big and got minor tennis elbow. Today's session was supposed to flesh it out further with my usual grip setup but I broke the string on my 3rd match so I don't have enough reliable time on it yet. The frame is a tank though. Had a gentle clash in 1 game and broke a 28lbs string job in the third but no cracks or anything but typical matte paint job. Surface scratches from the clash but no paint layer gone through.
