    hahaha he's maybe just joking, but he's right no need to repost many times.

    back to ur question i believe NS8000 just like other top end YY racket will have no prob with 32lbs (or even a bit more). So big YES, you can string NS8000 with 25 lbs tension.

    if you don't know much about badminton (you mean your game or the equipment), a NS8000 is probably not a good racket for you. Head light and extra stiff is not easy to wield for someone who is just starting.

    i dont think you would be warrant if you string above 24lbs , if anything happened to the racket , Yonex wont be replacing it . I would not recommand stringing it above 24lbs unless you are an advance player

    I agree with staiger. If you string above considerably over the recommended tension, it will definitely void the warranty. Without knowing your playing style and or level of play, its hard to recommend much.

    Just got myself a nanospeed 8000 today and LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!
    Not as much power as the armortec series but astounding control and very maneuverable.
    My new favourite racquet!

    Just cracked the cone on my Nanospeed 8000..
    In one year I have cracked the cone on 2 NS 7000 and one NS 8000.

    Seems like Yonex racquets and my swing is incompatible.. :(

    you can't really buy it, thats the problem. Unless you live in Japan, or MBS might carry a pair. They will be quite expensive though

    Sorry to bring up the old thread. Does anyone from US still have the NS8k for sale? Either 1st or 2nd gen is fine but it has to be 3u. Also, it has to be in good condition. Please PM me. Thanks
