    I got the ZF2 on the day it was released, didnt feel keen for the NR900, knew a guy that got it few days before and it looked nice.

    That's strange. I went to Elin this afternoon to get one. There was 5 on the rack, and I bought one. While paying on the counter, another guy took one. Back 40 mins while waiting for restringing, left only 1.....

    people are just eager to try out new racket,but i probably would say it takes time to suits outself to this nan900...i have tried one few days ago,strung with 66um at 27lbs 2 knots
    would say it need certain amount of strength just to feel the "bending" of the frame.that means if you are not at certain stage above advanced,you just cant urge the real potential of this nn900. strangely I found that my 3U ZSPEED plays better and more stable during the drive,clears or whatsoever(i practiced tbh's swing style if u wonder xD ) the only thing i felt good with the nano900 is the whip feel it has. probably will get a 2u for more whipping instead of the 3U. comparing whats in my bag :

    RACKETS : N7,ZSPEED 3U,NANO900(friend) ,ARC11TH 3U ,VT80 3U

    POWER : VT80>ZSPEED=N7>NANO900>ARC11TH
    SPEED : ZSPEED>NANO900=ARC11TH>N7>VT80
    CONTROL : ARC11TH>N7 >ZSPEED >VT80> NANO900


    Just my 2 cents review after one 21point game and one unfinished single match.

    It's considered selling hot cakes, if you don't get to see it and heard from the owner, that it's already sold out. :)

    You should see how ZF-II were sold during launch day :p
    Reorder was placed immediately for next day upon sold out of the 3U version.
    This happens while I was still taking my pick over which version to get haha

    DannyYan, thanks for the short review. Sounds like the shaft is quite stiff.

    yes it is stiff just like zspeed. i wonder who could actually "bend" the frame like what's in in the yonex's propag, if the racket was made to have a medium flex stiffness like the vt80.bend not once ,but twice? probably only legend JJS.

    I can't believe you...you're loving your Thruster 9000's and then wanting a NR900. Are you insane?

    I'm picking up a new racquet. This nr900 is in my top list. But I'm still wonder how is it compare with ti10 3rd. I'm noob in specs...the sales guys seems to say the feels is much close to ti10 or maybe doesn't have much differences. If I'm getting something that close to the current one.... I'm afraid I'm wasting my hard earn money. Lol. so just need some advice here.
