Well, it arrived today, the stringjob was great too(only that the stringer missed the A7 grommets, may be it is high time I get a machine ). Got it strung with LN1 at 28 lbs, I'll measure the dry weights after I break this thing off, for now the wet weights are as follows Total- 90.3gms Head weight- 41.3gms I feel like I got a lighter copy too( strings ought to be atleast 5gms) or do we have to measure with the plastic over the grip (just measured the plastic, it was 1.56gms). The swing feels good, and it is definitely not 8.5 stiff, somewhat like the N80II stiff(that baby is feeling left out, been a long time it has been there in the kitbag) but I will comment more on that after I have a first session today(also that LN1 needs to settle down) lets see how fares. Also, most probably next month TC70C will be in house. Edit118March2020) Dry weight(excluding plastic wrap) - 87.47gms Dry head weight- 39.07gms Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk
They are typically around 3-4 grams. 10 metres of typical string with a plastic tie are only 4.4 grams - take away the plastic tie and any left over and you end up with just over 3 grams of LN1 string in the racket.
Well initial impressions, it is an 8.5 stiff as advertised, similar to the N9II, swing speed and power generation is pretty good. Will look forward to my further sessions Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk
28 lbs !!! the tention is too high, I hope the string will last over 3 days. If you can handle it, I think, you will be a "Zheng Siwei" on court.
I'll try stringing that next, to compare both of them. But from what my memory and logic tells me, N9II swing is faster than the AN9000C Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk
Haha, I must ZS would use more than 30, also I am more of a Yuta fan, my primary reason for buying this racquet. But hell he wouldn't such a midflex racquet, (CN version where are you). But would there be "CN" version for the Japanese and the indonesian I wonder Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk
Zheng and Yuta were the reason that I paid attention to 9000C, but I was afraid of the pain ^-^. I always feel pain after matches when playing Z-Speed because the racket was "extra stiff" although I've just played at 23-22 lbs tension. Furthermore, the price is quite high compared to other rackets like Yonex, Victor,... Did you feel pain when playing 9000C ?
I have used 9000c for over 2 months . Both Plastic And Feather AS 2 yonex . Racket doesn’t feels a heavy at all and is very easy to play . Defence is fast with Good power in smash . I have 88d also but found this 9000c better than 88d in my opinion .. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Do you have a scale to weight your 9000C? Mine weights at 99gr strung + overgrip, perhaps i get the heavier one, but yes i do agree it is easy to play with, good smash power and defense but i do sometimes struggle on returning flat drives , and for a long session it does tire out my arm sometimes
I used to own 2 N7ii(TC70), I now own 2 Arcsaber 11s. It depends what you mean by similar. I think they fit the same role on court (control based/all-around). That being said they didn't feel anything alike. The N7ii is a faster racket, but it has a lack of feeling that I didn't like. The Arcsaber 11 has more feeling of drag hence it being slower but I enjoy this feeling as at times I felt like I was swinging nothing with the N7ii. Anyway my performance was about the same with both. I would look more at the Aeronaut for something more similar. I'm personally thinking the 9000D would be closer fit. The lack of reviews is what's holding me back.
Mean the weight is pretty consistent there, our 1 gr difference could be on the overgrip Anyway, just sold my F30P, got money to spend on another racket, any recommendation? Thinking about N99 , DZS or maybe waiting for 100ZX, any better recommendation? A9000C is my go to
Great all rounder, good for continuous smashing as it is not a demanding racket, decent control and feels very solid
thanks for the feedback. question for you. what tension do you usually string the arc11 at? they only recommend max of 24lb right?
