    Would very much love to. But when your ankle clicks and clacks.... I'm really terrified.
    2 injuries since start of this year.

    I'm having slight regret because I just purchased my normal nr900, 2 actually, not even a month ago even knowing that the SE and AH version are releasing soon. I saw the picture before and was like, meh it just looks OK but seeing it with my own eyes is entirely different! Hence the purchase. Now I'm contemplating to get another SE.

    My main reason to get nr900 was because vtzf4u becoming scarce to get 1 nowadays. Apart from that, I think I'm coming from your same shoe too trying if I could smash as hard with headlighter racket.

    I really agreed on HH racket producing the smash rather than the user considering I'm among the hard smasher in my group but couldn't execute it well with nr900.

    Both looks good IMO, the AH version are quite similar to IronMan color. Dark red and gold.

    Does Setiawan's have a motto on the side like Ahsan's?

    Anh I see what you mean, I understand that pain :/ buying rackets at the wrong time.

    That's very true, especially in the UK. I have to always buy a VTZF 4U from Asia. I'm somewhat fortunate recently I managed to get a hold of a few of them. I've got 4 because I like them so much.

    At the moment, I'm not timing it well. And I feel that the frame of the racket bends when hitting the shuttle. Comparing to the VTZF, the ZF has a solid frame.

    Yea haha but it's up to you really, preferred the White and black finish and I also have a lot of red rackets so... It would have just looked the same as my other rackets...

    nr900 never intended for hard smashing just like how Hendra plays, he's called the king of "change of pace" in MD

    Saw the 900SE.
    The white isn't quite white. Its SILVER GRAY.

    Looks better in person, and doesnt at all remind me of a VT80.

    But the printing of the "isometric" wording at the too of the frame is OFF CENTER for both pieces of SE and AH. Feels like they rushed this out in a hurry.

    Thats
    Nice video. Whether it's for hard smashing or not, as a power player you will always crave for a good hard smash. Thought it was a slight disappointment in power area but overall it's still a good racket! And nice cosmetic too

    Good for you mate, I tried looking for months till I decided to get nr900 straight but if I ever came across another 4u vtzf I'll get it hands down.

    Hmm...want one or both but not seeing them listed in the UK yet. We'll probably have to wait several months :( Will add them to my existing 2 NR900s. Broke my last NS9900 a few months back so the NR900 has become my main racket. I only play doubles and mixed so find it a very suitable racket.

    Word of advice:

    Haven't noticed this on other racquets and codes, but I have seen all versions of the SP NR900 (including NR900AH and NR900SE) displaying the top "ISOMETRIC" printing off center, skewing left or right. It's fine if you're not OCD, but for some out there.. might wanna take note. The worst was on a normal NR900, the wording was essentially printed at the 11 o'clock area.

    This wording.

    Any pic of the off-center wording? my original NR900 look ok, similar to the posted pic.

    The whole printing is just skewed to a side, not too nice taking a picture at the shop...

    I'm glad yours is perfectly centered.

    My previous two NR900 doesnt have that issue also. Maybe is bad print on certain batches. Thx for sharing.
