    Those 2 are entirely different racquets @.@

    N90 is head heavy for attacking singles, 9900 is more balanced/headlight for doubles

    Price wise, should be similar

    Hi All,

    As i knew that Nanospeed N9900 has the following:
    3U (85.0-89.9 g) / G3, 4, 5
    2U (90.0-94.9 g) / G3, 4, 5


    What is the difference and which one is better?

    Not sure where they sell N90 for 3xx in Singapore, but I do recall seeing some threads from Singapore with that price :p

    As for the 3U and 2U, it is just the frame weight, generally the higher weight becomes better for smashing, but less movable and defensible. Most ppl go for 3U. The grip sizes fit your hand, so you should try them in person.

    They're just weight and grip size measurements. G3 is the largest grip size available on the Nanospeed 9900 and G5 is the smallest. Some rackets such as the Arcsaber 9 go down to G6.

    2U is, on average, 5 grams heavier than 3U. If you can handle the extra weight and still maintain a decent swing speed, you will find that it will help you to generate more power. Obviously, because of the added weight, manoeuvrability is compromised slightly. 2U rackets are often considered to be stronger than their 3U counterparts due to the added materials inside of them which make them that little bit heavier.

    yes, zelm. also, he's a convert to the mighty laser yellow--arc zs! btw, i'm sure he's got a backup n90, so 1 racquet only in his bag? we gotta confiscate it so that he understands what is common sense, har har har:D:D:D!

    Guys :)

    Both NS9900 and LN N90 are seriosuly overpriced, if you compare to lower end rackets, and less "marketing drivnen" brands..

    But if you compare to High-end tennis racket (or even golf clubs) both are very cheap.. So it is all matter how you look at it.. You can always look at a glass of water filled 50% as half-full or half-empty :)

    For offensive singles it no quesiton that most players will chose a heavy power racket like N90..

    However just looking at the question.. selecting between two good but very differnt type of rackets, makes ne really wonder if lookeong shouldnt just wait a little bit and test different racket out before buying the most expensive ones he can find :)
