    Looks like the lengths are the same in the catalog photos. Have yet to see two rackets side by side from a person that has both.

    please post more pics of your ns 9000 with different color strings and grip. i want to see what's the best combination for this racket. i was thinking of orange strings and dark purple grip could work.

    you know, i haven't thought of that yet!
    wat kind of string/grip would look good with such a peculiar looking racket? :confused:

    anybody got any recommendations yet?

    I think, blue, or purple will work. I believe yellow may look good but maybe considered too flashy.

    I must be boring:( I always just get white strings and black or grey grip. on any racket I have owned.......maybe I should 'customise' my racket a bit;)
    Make it look cooler:cool:

    I do remember once I had a previous racker...sotx woven 6 with black strings and black grip and many people said it made the racket look 'evil'.....this combo would suit my ns8k's......mmmmm......don't thing bg85's come in black though:(

    instead of yellow(which looks greenish) go with the orange bg-65 strings. they're less flashy and matches the gold color scheme of the racket better.

    I prefer to use Gosen strings - current string I use is Gosen Pro 66. I used to use Yonex strings in the past but switched over to Gosen due strings breaking pre-maturely.

    Yellow grips is good.. your racket will definately stand out. Besides that White grip also works well.. make your racket look gentle on court.

    I agree
    I never liked black overgrip cuz it looked too much like the original grip :p

    now, I alternate between yellow, pink, and baby blue... i'll get some white next time :D

    Type X is shorter than Type S, but it is very little that you cannot really notice.

    i have also go bg80 in my NS9000-X, next time i grip it i'll use yellow towel grip. you reckon it will look OK?

    just another question, i have it strung at 26lbs, i know the racket can easily take more than that but does it mean that the guarentee is broken?

    Yep, stringing above the recommendation tension voids the warranty.

    you don't think that this could be an exception because every brochure i have seen and most retailers are advertising the maximum reccommended tension as 27lbs, even though we all know that the actual maximum is 24lbs as it says on the racket.
    :confused:

    Thanks.

    Just received my 3ug4 version of the NS9000 X. My NS9K X 3ug4 version feels heavier than my Cab 20 classic 2ug4 racket. It feels heavier than most 3u rackets. Does anyone have this experience or is it just me? I am wondering if my racket is labeled wrong. :confused:
