YONEX Nanoscience achieves the quickest of racket work two ways. First, by providing sensitive control of how racket materials perform at the level of a thousand millionth of a particle unit, and second, by reducing the amount of racket material the shaft needs, for the ideal super-thin/ high-strength ratio
By controlling how badminton racquet material performs at the level of a thousand millionth of a particle unit, YONEX reduces the amount of racquet material the shaft needs for high strength. This makes the NanoSpeed line of badminton racquets shaft thinner and stronger to realize the long-time badminton player dream of a thinner and strong frame for quick racquet maneuverability.
Yonex NanoSpeed badminton racquets are Nano-powered by fullerene for more repulsion and speed from a compact swing. Traditional badminton racquet constructions increase the thickness of graphite or carbon fibre layers for high strength, which adds weight to the frame and makes a racquet difficult to maneuver. The YONEX nano-strucure uses nano-size particles of fullerene and carbon. The YONEX nano-particle engineering process gives YONEX sensitive control over how the badminton racquet materials function at the molecular level. The process establishes a high-performance molecular bond of the materials and creates a stable, thinner and stronger headlight badminton racquet that delivers maximum power and speed from a compact swing.
Factory testing demonstrates that by nano-powering the badminton framethe part of the badminton racquet where stress concentration is highestthe YONEX NANOSPEED 7000 badminton racquet provides 30% more impact resistance than an ordinary badminton racquet, 10% more durability and 5% more repulsion power.
This racquet is certainly no lightweight when delivering power from the back of the court. It took a minute or two to adjust my timing because of the weight difference. Once I made the adjustment, the racquet delivered every time, although I would have liked the extra string tension.
I receive questions like your every day. My answer has to be that your son must test and see which racket he prefers. Players with a lot of power generally have the ability to play with light headed rackets such as NS9900 and still deliver the power they require. For others a light headed racket is like a power reducer.
It culd be this racket is too stiff for you. However, I do feel you have to see a coach to look at your technique. You may find a few corrections in the right places will make a big difference to your game.
I would also recommend you take a look at my video on testing shuttle speeds. Shoulder injuries are sometimes caused through playing with shuttles that are too slow. Players then over-compensate and change their hitting action which leads to throwing the shoulder into the shot. So please have your technique checked.
There is no issue switching between rackets although I expect when you tire and change from a head heavy to head light racket you could actually be making life more difficult for yourself by losing potency in your smash. This could result in less effectiveness in your attack and actually having to rally for longer, which could tire you more.
If you are looking for a racket between VT80 and NS6600, then why on earth are you looking at NS9900? It you are looking for some middle ground, then surely an even balance racket makes sense? With this in mind I would look at Arcsaber 7 providing a medium flex shaft with even balance head.
You are absolutely right, why on earth I still going for Nanospeed and Nanoray series? Fortunately I have an apportunity to test a Arcsaber 10 limited edition from my friend this coming sunday, probably this will help if head heavy or even balance racquet suit me most ( Could you advise me if there are difference between Arcsaber 10 and Arcsaber 10 limited edition?)
I am an intermediate-level badminton player and I usually play 3-4 times a week mostly with feather shuttles. As an all-round doubles badminton player. I currently own Voltric 80 and Nanospeed 9900 rackets.
As you increase tension, the sweet spot on your stringbed reduces. Therefore, at an intermediate level, unless you consistently hit the shuttle in the sweetspot, you may find some difficulty due to inconsistency. The larger sweetspot (through lower tension) sometimes makes up for this.
It could be you have purchased the wrong rackets by looking at top of the line frames. Both the rackets you have are stiff shafted. The majority of players tend to suit a more flexible shaft which adds a bit more power. So I would also reccommend you test other medium flex or flexible shafted rackets and see if you get more power from them.
Are you playing with plastic or feather shuttles? Have you tested other tensions to see if that makes a difference? Have you tested other racquets to see whether this helps your game? Have you seen a coach to check out your technique?
The fact you are playing with plastic shuttles suggests a lower tension will be better. I say this having strung racquets for over 20 years and seen so many players struggle with tight strings because they thought they would get more power. The truth is you get more control with higher tension but not necessarily more power.
It may be best to drop your tension to 23lbs and get used to the racquet or persist with it as the tension will be dropping anyway. But, you may need to be a little patient before you get some of your old game back.
Paul,
Thanks a lot for a prompt reply.I would definitely consider stringing of my racquet to 23lbs.Just wanted to know if the string matter?Rather how do the series of strings offered by Yonex differ from each other?Which string (and corresponding tension if needed)do you suggest for my racquet -given the conditions I play?
Have a great day!
Playing a defensive game is high risk these days. Badminton is an attacking game and as such, you need a good attack. Against good opponents you will not win playing defensively. So, whilst NS9900 is a good defensive racquet, you are now finding it may lack something to be a very good attacking racquet.
Choosing string tension is as difficult as choosing a racquet. You need to test, which can be expensive. So if you like 19lbs, next time try 20lbs and continue to increase until you find your best performing combination. So a tension that gives you plenty of power and control is the right one for you.
Hi Paul, I just bought myself a NS9900 just 3 weeks ago, strung it to 23 lbs with BG80 strings. Tonight something happened, i miss hit the shuttle and it bounced off the rim of the racquet head, and i continued playing, after 5 mins i realized that i had less power !! so i checked my racquet.. and i found that there was this crack line.. from under the head of the rim.. the earth-quake crack is diagonal.. omg im very very very sad ? pls is there anything i can do ?
If your racket was strung correctly with 2 piece stringing and there is no sign of a collision with another racket, then i would return the racket to the retailer I purchased from requesting they return it to Yonex. It would help the retailer if you wrote a history of the racket from when you bought it. Things like how often you played, string tension, what happened on the night it broke. In other words, give them the story.
Just recently bought the NS9900 racquet and tested it on Saturday. Same as u, am actually using the AT900P racquet as well and its a really good racquet i must say. The performance on the NS9900 is as what u have describe..fast and good for net shots bt as for smashing, i still think the AT900P performs way better. Overall, its a good racquet and glad i bought it, no regrets. String tension on the NS9900 is 26lbs and for my AT900P is at 27lbs.
