    I am curious as to how Cooler managed to get a hold of this racket and bend it!!! If you have also tried playing with it, would be be so kind as to compare it to some other Yonex rackets? These racekts seem head light so compared to some head heavy rackets such as the AT 700,500 Ti10. Whats this like?

    Anyway i have not yet tested on the NS8000.. In my Opinion based on the specs of the NS8000 , i dont think this racket is any much better than NS7000. Its just weird for me that so far i dont have an urge to buy racket from the NS series. NS7000 and NS8000 doesnt really look appealing to me.

    Maybe a better successor for Ti 7 since this is head-light and stiff.

    If the Nanocarbon at 11 and 1 o'clock position does improve durability, it'd be nice..all of my broken rackets have broke from clashes at those positions.

    Waiting ....

    I'm waiting the rackets come to Thailand. (... would like to test)
    The NS7000 is too light to play for me.
    The smashing power is not good but cut and net shot isn't bad.

    the nanospeed series are horribly expensive though, i'm in taiwan and the ns7000 is out and it costs around 7000nt here, which is ridiculously high, sticking with carlton racquets. what happened to carlton anyways, their site has been down for over a year now.

    NT$7000 sounds extreme. I learned that some companies quoted it at NT$5500 and believed the these are both JP version. The TW version is found with a price tag of NT$4120 here:

    http://www.twsport.com.tw/ProductDesc.asp?Price_Version=P&pidno=200502200001

    However, I think that the price should be even lower. It should be even cheaper than AT-800 OF/DE.

    Never believe the MSRP. Usually, the actual retail price should be at least 20-40% cheaper than what ever it claims to be.

    If that's really NT$7000 (around US$230), than it's even more expensive than US.

    That's either an imported JP racket or someone is trying to rip off people.

    NS7000 = NT7000 ?

    Just changing the S to a T sounds quite reasonable to a Canadian like me
    :p

    There is a store selling JP version of the NS7000 in Taiwan for NT7270, certainly way too expensive.

    MSRP for the NS7000 is NT5500, and normally, you can take 30% off the MSRP at stores everywhere as it is offered as a standard discount.
