    For me, yellow's got to be "egg yolk" yellow, not "lemon" yellow:).

    In design terms it's called Cadmium Yellow, after the oil paint.

    The issue I have with the blue is that they're deviating from the Thruster colourway which should be with white panels at 8 and 10 o'clock. It looks cheap because they haven't even bothered painting the racket more than one colour and have tried to make up for that with decals, which for me hasn't worked.

    The TK9900 and the SH-S80-O shoes from Victor are the perfect match. ;)

    I saw a new picture on their Facebook page, but it was about new shoe colours, not a racquet. :/

    Imagine if they saw all the feedback in here and thought "woah - they're really slamming this racket's looks... back to the drawing board?"

    If so, I will take all the pre-production ones off their hands, if they want. *trollface.

    About dang time. And we already discussed the shaft for abit in previous pages

    RRI of 8. 3 stiffness and 5 balance..tempting..Although hard to like the fact that they've chosen to go with continuous grommets at the top ala ZF II and E-Tune rackets but not as well pulled off. I wonder how many strings I can break from shuttle scooping.

    I'll probably have to get one just to see what it's like.

    Nope it wasn't. The 9000 was rated to 28lbs max.
