    As indicated above I own both the FB and NR800. In addition, I also own the BS12 (3U equivalent), by first Victor given the rave reviews on the Bravesword series. For me, the BS12 is not that great mainly because of the added weight and the center of gravity is quite different to the two Yonex racquets mentioned above. I find it slower and needs significant effort to use. That's my two cents.

    Those who can overcome these issues may of course find it a great racquet ;)

    The main difference is of course the weight, F6 being lighter than the F5. That choice would depend on your personal choice and your skill level. I string my F6 to 23lbs and so far with minor clashes it has been holding up. Good luck with your choice.

    There is no F6 or F5... Simply F. F means 73g. On their label code though, Yonex uses a shortened notation like "3U4" or "F4", which means "3UG4" and "FG4".

    You must be under a Yonex curse then. And you will have angered the curse more since you used another brand... For your safety, don't leave your house.

    If not mistaken, F5 = 6U with G5 grip size.
    F6 = 6U with G6 grip size.

    You're not allowed to do that, it's against the rules. You must pick a brand and stick with it. Also, Ahsan isn't using the FB.
