Dear my brothers, i need your help becoz you guys are great players who played day in day out of badminton games. Can you share your valuable exprience on as above both rackets. I truly believe yonex is still ahead of others on producing state of art badminton rackets despite Li Ning branding. Plz help to share with me so that i can decide which racket i should own to upgrade my game. i played doubles most my time.
Is hard for us to advise you since never mention your skill, playing behavior and experience. It take me almost 1 1/2 months to get use my arc8dx.
i am currently using MP29L with BG85; 3UG5 i enjoy drop shots and net play a lot. i would like to upgrade myself to enchance these skills to higher level. overall i want to improve my game on.. -smash shot and power -higher level of control with a lots of placing of shuttle at narrow angle/space. kindly help me and guide me my brothers...
Yuri I know both racquets extremely well. If you feel that you've lots of natural power then Nano9900 would be my choice as the light head would be a plus for a player with plenty of power. Added to that, the racquet is light is it's easy to defend and play around the net. However, if you are not gifted with a naturally powerful overhead, then 8DX would be a better racuqet for you. It's head heavier than nano9900 and has aerodynamic qualities that still make it a very fast racquet. I have written and video reviews of both racquets on my blog www.badminton-coach.co.uk Paul www.badminton-coach.co.uk
hi paul, how you doing on your students coaching. i hope you have a good time with the students...we need you to groom another talented aka P.Gade from your country to beat LinDan..haha thank you for your kind feedback. i tested the 8DX and surprise to me that its very light and not heavy head as many ppl has feedback on this area. Also i found its a bit stiff, that why i found tired after a few strokes already...i dont have natural talent in power smashing..i wish to find a racket which help me in this area as well. i use to mid stiff racket with MP29LT maybe i need to adjust myself to 8DX for a few mths. i would like to improve my control as well if 8DX suit me. any other input are welcome...
If you find the 8DX is too stiff, you may be better off with the ARC 10. It's a great allround racket. It does not excel in any areas, but it covers all areas well above average.
If you find 8dx too stiff then the 9900 won't work for you either as it's even head lighter than the 8dx and just as stiff (if not stiffer). As suggested try the arc10 or at900t?
i tried with 8DX with 25pound and found very stiff..arm start getting tired already in 2nd games.. maybe i need to adjust to lower tension to 22 pound.. switching from MP29L med stiff to extra stiff from 8DX might be too drastic approach huh... any other suggestion plz plz advise me ok.. Need help !
I got both Arc8 dx and ns9900 and really like it, very excellent rackets, both are extra stiff rackets. Because you used to the MP29L medium stiff, so I think you should try Arc7 or NS9000 type S. These two rackets are very good for intermediate-advance level, has good smash power and great control.
Do you mean Arc7 or NS9000 are good for intermediate-advance level, has good smash power and great control? So what about Arc8 dx and ns9900
Same with Arc8dx and Ns9900, all these rackets are pretty much high end of Yonex. Of course good for high beginner to advance. However extra stiff rackets that longer time to get used to it, plus need to use more wrist than arm swing.
so far i see only arc7 and arc9 have the medium stiff racket...any other high end racket in market with medium stiff?
Yeah most high end racket in market are stiff to extra stiff from Yonex. Unless you look for other brand.
the Carlton range are mostly medium to flexible there are a couple of stiff ones. This might be a better option as they are also cheaper than that of yonex perhaps the FX-Ti is for you a good all round racket that gives a little extra zip to your smashes.
