    Not mine :p Still undecided on whether to get it or the Inferno EX
    Been readings lots of reviews about the N90IV but reviews about the Inferno EX are scarce...

    I may be able to answer some of your questions on it. Based on what I've read, it's pretty well received.

    I got mine from RacquetForce as well. The racket seems pretty genuine. May be, by using the cloth racket covers they're able to offer slightly lower prices. I dont really care about it too, as long as they're genuine since the rackets go into the big bag anyway.

    So what do you think are the major differences between N9II and N90IV ? I already own a n9II green and was thinking of getting the n9ii orange as a spare.

    Haven't really used it much so far. But from the few hits I made with it, I'd say it's stiffer and quicker than its predecessor, the N90III. Also less solid feel when hitting. Only played with the N9II for a while, but if I recall correctly they are pretty similar in terms of stiffness and quickness.

    I've gotta say Li ning really have upped their game in terms of the paint on their latest rackets. They were slightly bland beforehand but now these are rackets that catch people's eye during club sessions.

    I agree. But not only is the paintjob becoming increasingly impressive, its the overall design of the racket as well. I used to think that li-ning rackets are not that good because it's a chinese brand, but after i bought N9II, my biased opinion was totally demolished.

    Agreed. The newer ones look so much better than anything Yonex or Victor have come up the last few years.

    Actually, it gets very hard to decide which of their newer rackets I like best. N80II? N99? N9II (several versions...)? N90IV? It's a combination of great design, great color schemes and flawless paint work. Currently, they definitely one league ahead of anybody else on the market.

    Victor has went the opposite way over the last years. From them, I can hardly decide which of their latest racket (and clothes!) designs I loath most. Probably the JS10Q.

    Yh I wondered into the N9II thread as it kept getting mentioned around the forum was very stunned at how nice it looked. It was so different from what I was use to seeing the usual shiny red/whites to bold matte finish. Lining really only lack marketing where I'm from the only thing really known is that they sponsor the Chinese national teams.

    It feels like everyone is aiming towards neon/highlighter colours in for kit and footwear.

    Just seen that you have already sold your N90IV again (before even sharing any personal impressions on it... bad boy!). What was the matter with it?

    Sorry about that, but I didn't feel like writing about it. And no review kinda already tells you what I might think of the N90-4. :D

    I just felt that it wasn't clicking from the first time I used it. To summarize: Worse feel than my N80; not quicker as the bp might make you think or hope; power about the same. I don't want to bash the racket, it's a solid racket but for me, personally, it's just not the racket I would get three pieces of and rock it for a few years.

    He look puzzled looking at his racquet during HK SS final

    Hmm... sounds quite boring. So in fact fits in to CL's previous taste in rackets. So no, that one won't make it on my to-buy list.

    By the way, have you seen the deal for the N80 on tennistown? Just in case you want to stock up again.

    Should have been a warning to me that CL is using this. :confused:

    There's no N80 deal anymore? Am I missing something?
