I Already have an ns7000 The nano speed are brilliant, i have the ns7000 and it is amazing alot better than the last racket i had which was the armotec 800 attacking, i dont know what the ns8000 would be like but it must be very good because it is the racket up from the ns7000. I live in England and saw them both at the all england tournament in Birmigham, Emms and Robertson were excellent!
Emms and Robertson?? How could that be related to NS7000/8000? Are you saying Emms stopped using Carlton? Also, why would you want to compare AT800OF (I guess the Offensive version is what you mean when you say "attacking"?!?!) to NS7000? They are Very different (NS7000 being extremely head-light and AT800OF being extremeley head-heavy).? /Twobeer
Nanospeed 8000 is box-shaped! NS8000 = box shaped NS7000 =widebody! Check this out! http://www.yonex.ch/html/Rackets.51.0.html
Box Shaped, Widebody? What is the difference between boxed shape and widebody? Anyone care to explain what they mean?
Possible Implications: easier to swing NS 7000 faster than NS 8000? NS 8000 more durable than NS 7000? NS 7000 has larger sweetspot? NS 8000 more powerful when hitting sweetspot?
is the NS8000 out in calgary alberta canada yet? and how much would it be? i saw a chart saying its more powerful the the MP100 and AT800OF is that true and is it a lot stiffer then the MP100 and AT800OF?
fullerene C60 is basically using C60 (carbon) to make fibres to use to make the racquet. C60 (common name fullerene) is special because of the moelcular structure.... using only carbon atoms, they have a bond of 4 (meaning each carbon atom can connect with 4 other atoms).... using this info, you can make 'bucky balls' and such... a specific example is the shape of a soccer ball, the carbons can bond and form a shape EXACTLY the pattern of a soccer ball (pentagons and hexagons).... this shape is very strong because the bonds are all used, and the inside of the soccer ball-shaped fullerene is empty, so it's strong AND light.... other uses is to make strong circles with the carbon atoms, and make a 'cylinder' which is like a fibre, again the bonds are strong and the space in the middle of the circle is empty (less space, less weight) so using 'nano-technology' (fullerenes) they can make strong fibres or whatever that are also light and make racquets with them. also, carbon is strong lol, compare diamonds with graphite (mechanical pencils), both are pure (or almost pure) carbon, but everyone knows a diamond is SUPER hard... hope this info helped ps. no, i'm not a nerd who crossed by a badminton forum, i really DO play badminton lol (i want a nanospeed that's even-balanced or head-heavy :crying: since i'm used to my iso 900 )
just to add that i'm not sure about how the fullerenes affect flexibility and vibration absorption of racquets
now i'm thinking.... why is it that most sites of the NS 7000 & 8000 say that it weighs 80 - 85 and above? i thought that the use of nanocarbons should reduce the weight then again... maybe yonex used the reduced mass to add more features to it sigh... anybody want to comment on my explanation on nanocarbons/fullerens/C60 ? i'd like some encouragement or even corrections... i am the bored...
If a racquet is too light it might not even hit a fly. Using nano in a racquet becomes a balancing act. What other, heavier but smaller, materials do you use with nano to strike the ideal balance? There is a Chinese nano racquet that has a nano shaft and a heavy frame. It has the ultimate in power drives, clears and smashes, but nothing in other areas. No wonder its b/p is more than 32.5cm. Maybe the use of the heavier tungsten for weight and mass balancing, because you need very little of this heavy stuff, together with more and more nano on the frame might yield something interesting.
I agree with kwun and many other This has got to be the ugliest color scheme of any of top yonex racket ie mp99 & 100, AT line I have ever seen...Like kwun said, the funky color is probably a sign of it authenticity...to much sake in the yonex labs...Anyways I am glad yonex is coming out with these new rackets as it makes my fav racket mp99 more cheaper.I can't wait for the next line, let see iso, muscle, armor. nano...i think the next line will probably like QUARK EVOLUTION. Well now I have to save some money to stock up on mp99s!!!
Actually this is not really hard for Yonex to implement since they are using buckyball but it will add to the cost price. Buckyball like Renkinjutsushi said, it is hollow thats y it is light. And my brother have told me, it can be used to hold other things than injected into the body. So if that is they case, Yonex could simply add a few Ti Atom inside the Buckyball and able to tolerate tremendous tensions. So others can safely string their racket esp the pros. Yonex don't have to get them a racket each time they break it.
