    Btw, any review on N90 III, Razor RZ 95, and 3D Calibar 900B/N90 IV? How do they fare compared to my old AS11 and the 3U VTZF2?

    And some has said to me, it's feeling a bit mushy, I wonder if it's bkoz of the 3D Breakfree sword frame or not tho, thx in advance

    Both the Razor RZ 95 and N90 IV is quite easy to use and to generate power. Even by me with injuries (elbow). They are not so stiff and heavy like the VTZF2.

    I know what I will be asking will be a boring question in the sea of new racquets, so please bear with me. I would like to know about the head heaviness and stiffness of the N50-I in comparison any of these racquets I have N80II, N9II, N7II, AX88D. If you could answer based on memory that would also be appreciated.

    i only had N9ii, N7ii, and Ax88D. From my perspective, the heaviness is N9ii>Ax88D>N7ii.
    and from the stiffness is Ax88D>N7ii>N9ii. N9ii is medium stiff.

    Well I thank you for your answer, but that was not what I am looking for. I want to know about the stiff ness of the N50-I

    Softer than any current top racket. Softer than any of those you mentioned (don't know about that Razor one). Weight/balance-wise, I'd say somewhere between the N80ii and N90iv. Closer to the N90iv, iirc. While it feels similar to the N80ii just holding it, on a real swing you notice that it's definitely lighter (and way softer, once you try to smash with any precision :D)

    Nope have not tried it for now, just pulled the trigger on an N55. Saw it on amazon at a discounted price and had to buy it, so 7000C and many more racquets have to wait for now.

    Just got the AERONAUT 8000D.

    Coming from astrox 88d 4u. It died on court. But I was always reaching for my victor hx 900 so I thought I’d replace with a more even balanced. Hoping the medium stiffness and 3u will give some added smash power. Heard it’s relatively fast so hoping I don’t lose in defence abilities

    Please sure some thoughts on this racket when you've done some testing.

    Definitely interested in picking this up coming from an N99 I find too flexible.

    Errrr it's supposed to be pretty much a 1 to 1 replacement....
    If you are indeed one of the few people that require a stiffer racket than that for maximum power or if you just prefer it for other reasons (control over power, for example) you should take a look at the 8000C or 7000C. The 8000C is head heavier, though.

    Oh wait, I just realized it said 8000D, and thought it read 9000D. My bad.

    Anyways, I find the N99/8000 to be too flexy; so I am looking for something with a bit more control for a bit less power. I also found that after a year of using BS12 I kind of enjoy using more box like frames.

    I'm considering picking up an Arcsaber 11, but want to hold out until the 9000 series gets to the warehouse in Canada so that I can demo them.

    Don't expect the Arc11 to be noticeably stiffer than the N99 though. They're fairly comparable from my experience. As I said, take a look at the C models, and iirc the 7000 (no suffix) was fairly stiff as well.
    I'm surprised you want to switch from the N99 because of its stiffness when you came off a BS12 though :D
    Have you tried a slightly higher string tension, btw? I find that even 1lbs more can make a noticeable difference, especially on lifts. Going for a stiffer racket I'd only recommend if you have real trouble keeping straight drives in the side lines or if you can't control your smashes. A stiffer racket will almost always require more effort on every shot (except blocks/net shots), I'd take that into account as well (especially if you're playing singles).
