Well, I only said I ordered 2 NS-7000, I didn't say that I didn't order more Cab30MS from Japan (hint hint hint...!)
Would you like to post the serial numbers and thier date codes of your two new NS-7000 for record? Or is there a new calssification of serial number and date code?
That's funny Too bad I am comparing the new NS-7000 with my unstrung & brand new Slim-10. Two rackets are both in 3U, and this is a fair test Slim10 still rules for the speed, but NS-7000 can easily knock out the slim10 physically.
Full testing report now? I don't think I ever joined the army The school gym isn't open until weekend, so i will have to wait a bit for the initial reports. Also, I don't have Wilson Ncode here. So I can not comment on that. AT700 and 800 comparing....although I did use some AT rackets from friends, but I didn't use them really long because I don't like AT generally. So, I will try my best on comparing to 700 and 800. Comparing to Ti-10, MP-99, and Cab-30MS is easy, as they are all used very regularly by me
Blue, You are so competent. You should help Yonex to distribute their rackets here to help members to get the First Hand JP code racket here. Thanks and longing for your report. Red
Serial codes stays the same, the 2UG4 is manufactured 2 weeks ago, and 3UG4 is manufactured 10 days ago, and they are all in the 5236xxx range. (I am not listing the full serials out because there is a possibility that I will sell them to one of my friends and order more from Japan for my own good. It will be a little unfair for him without his permission. However, general pictures of the racket is OK because all racket looks the same on the pictures except the codes. If I am to keep those 2 rackets, then I will give the full serials out.)
For the records, only one of the NS-7000 is slightly imperfect, so I don't think they did it on purpose, especially I ordered othe stuff as well (and another non-NS-7000 rackets is also imperfect, but the majority of goods are OK) Also, I ordered those rackets from a reputable store in Japan, so the chances are very slim, especially I get to talk to them on phone (hint: you know this store.)
Dear Blue, I warn you here: You'd better stop posting and start stringing both NS7000 and start breaking-in the racket with the string. Untill you arrive at the court, play the racket against the wall when you are awaken, sitting, standing or eating or sleeping........ You are one of the most important reference points here. The whole forum are looking to you. Red
Now the problem is , I don't know what string to put on (I have all Yonex strings here, including JP strings) Perhaps I should just string it with BG65.....the most reliable and fundamental string Where is my scissors?
A interesting find: Stringing NS-7000 should be easiler than others. As NS7000 has the thick-style frame, mounting the racket on the machine should be easy and the room to work on should be plenty (If you ever string some thin-frame rackets, you will know what I am talking about.)
You are really doing the whole world a big favour here. If you could kindly string those NS with the same tpye of string as MP99 CAB30... that you are having than you can compare an apple to an apple(same string, same tension, diff racket). Please break in the string too. Thank you thankyou and thank you.
Here are two more pictures that I took while cooking dinner Picture#1: see how thick the frame is comparing to my MP99? (MP99 is 10mm thick; NS7000 is 12mm thick, measured at 10 o'clock point) Picture#2: Want some Nano-Grips? There you go, but I don't think Yonex sell replacement grips for those grips yet. So that's the down-side....
just to know... how much did u paid?? i am drooling :crying: .... cant resist the temptation to fly to japan and send it back to singapore!!!
*cough* BG66 *cough* Bluejeff, you sure you don't want a racquet-sitter for your cab30ms . I won't actually 'sit' on them you know
BueJeff , i would suggest you to use BG65 first. If posibble try Gosen Pro66 after you have used the bg65.
Why not try cyber natural?? so far to my knowledge... cyber natural 100 is only available in JP and really good specs well... not the one i am wearing...
Use whichever string you normally use, then you can get a good comparison with other rackets you use. Try out other strings on it later.
