As indicated above I own both the FB and NR800. In addition, I also own the BS12 (3U equivalent), by first Victor given the rave reviews on the Bravesword series. For me, the BS12 is not that great mainly because of the added weight and the center of gravity is quite different to the two Yonex racquets mentioned above. I find it slower and needs significant effort to use. That's my two cents. Those who can overcome these issues may of course find it a great racquet
Hi just a quick question, what the difference between F5 and F6 im planning to get this racket and what should be the best tension on it since its kinda fragile. thanks in advance
The main difference is of course the weight, F6 being lighter than the F5. That choice would depend on your personal choice and your skill level. I string my F6 to 23lbs and so far with minor clashes it has been holding up. Good luck with your choice.
There is no F6 or F5... Simply F. F means 73g. On their label code though, Yonex uses a shortened notation like "3U4" or "F4", which means "3UG4" and "FG4".
I just order Yonex FB 5U in JP version .. I believe with no crash , it can go up to min 27. But i will test drrive it on 24 to see how it goes ?
So far i only have 1 yonex armotec 700 head burst after a smash , with 26 tension. Thats the only time i use yonex, after that incident 5 yrs ago , i had switch to Li ning with china team
You must be under a Yonex curse then. And you will have angered the curse more since you used another brand... For your safety, don't leave your house.
I follow China Team use Li ning , For Yonex FB i want to try since Mohammad Ahsan has been using it for 9 mths lready since last June 2013, he is my favourite double player !
hi guys i still dont understand the difference between the F5 and F6 i have a friend coming back from japan hes getting the fb for me. Can anyone kind enough to clear this up for me. Btw im getting it from amazon jp theres 2 model the F5 and F6.
You're not allowed to do that, it's against the rules. You must pick a brand and stick with it. Also, Ahsan isn't using the FB.
