    There is no such thing as a new cheap Nano Speed 9000 X. There are plenty of cheap fakes knocking about if you can call $80 cheap for a fake. The cheapest I have heard of this racquet (unstrung) is £80 or $156 from the Yonex store in Hong Kong. I am based in England and the cheapest I have seen it for here is £110 or $215 which I think is far too much.

    Keep away from those cheap ones off Ebay they are all fakes. They say they are from Hong Kong but when recieved the packaging says Shanghai, China.

    He said affordable smartass which is not that dissimilar from cheap, I was trying to be helpful, unlike the useless comment you just made which does not help anyone.

    I see. Stealthboy, im not gonna buy a 80$ NS9KX loll that wouldnt be too smart. Chgoh25 is right, i just want one in an affordable price, wich means, the authentic ones that coss less.

    Manabu, How many are the NS9KX in Thailand?

    I can get one for 179$ + Strings and free stringing job for about 250CAD, is this good? IMHO, it is, but i still think some places are a bit less.

    Best regards,

    Blade

    Hey there,

    I know RSX personally as we used to play at a club years ago together. I would say he is trust-worthy as I believe he has multiple customers from this forum and others.

    I have personally used the Nano9000X (GR version) 3UG4 and I liked it,however, I was a bit disappointed that Yonex would not offer me warranty on it. I had purchased it in HK (Rose - MongKog) and is a genuine racquet. I contacted Japan, Germany and Canada (Yonex) and both Canada & Japan have mentioned that they do not do warranties on the GR as they must be dealt with there. Germany to date has completely ignored my email requests. I had 3 Nano's and one had a crack at the 6'o clock region...discussed this with my stringer and multple players and we all agreed that it was a defect and not a clash as there are absolutely no chips on it at all. Japan keeps telling me that I must deal with Germany or the store in HK and will not take it back. So I have decided to sell off my other two Nano9K's and gone back to my AT-800. I guess the moral of my story is that make sure you're buying a CD racquet if possible, unless you do not care about warranty.

    Regards

    Blade, I do not know RSX. I purchase all my racquets from oversea. Warranty is not an issue for me.

    Wukene,

    Technically, a GR coded would not of had warrenty on it anyways it was ment to be sold in authorized stores in Germany. If the shop were to assist you, they would could put a claim it back to it's source (an authorized one), where they got it from.

    You could try contacting Yonex Germany again to see if they respond (may use a different email address)?

    However, in any case, as long as a racket is purchased from an authorized shop, there is warrenty. So I buy a JP racket from Japan and I need to warrnety claim, I can contact the shop or Yonex Japan and they will take care of it.

    About CAD 187.50 + CAD 5.80 shipping (without racquet cover) & other costs = CAD 193.30 landed in Vancouver

    If you get it from Thailand, you save about CAD 20 but you have to go there yourself.

    Did you get the original stringing or the string did not come with it?

    HAHAHAHA, $179 IS GREAT!! I think that is around what our retail store gets them at. Wholesale price is $200. Suggested Retail: $330. We sell them for $269.99. That plus stringing, your already looking at like three hundred bucks. So yeah, $179 is a steal. And they're not even that great of a racquet.

    There is no original string. Besides, I string myself.

    I can vouch for the fragile part :D
    Lost one in a clash (broken shaft). I used this to form a gift for a friend's 2 year old daughter (now it's the Nanospeed 900 :p)

    Friend of mine lost his in a clash (broke at 3 o'clock)
