    Woo! someone else from the Peg. I was pretty sure I was the only Manitoban that browsed this site. I think this thread should get more heated.

    As a fairly non-objective view, it's the best racquet I've ever used.

    The weight balance is a little funny, especially with the bulbous handle bottom, but once you adjust to you can use it for more power or more finesse depending on the position of your hand on the grip. At least, that's with the Super Nano 5.

    Very durable racquet. Love it.

    I sense a victor troll!, "superior in every way"?

    Can you please explain to me with direct evidence how Victor is superior to Yonex in everyway?

    TY

    I can answer that: he can't...

    except: "I've seen some guy I know break a yonex, but he hasn't broken a Victor" or "Victor has sooo many innovations"

    that's the reason this thread is 8 pages...and still not dead..

    victor's frame can handle high tension stringing.. in fact, i've seen them recommend 28-32 lbs.. that's only a recommendation... but some people say thay have strung the victor close to 40lbs.. amazing! well, but i wouldn't try it.. too risky...:D anymore feedbacks on the supernano 1??? i will buy one... but the weird thing is, the supernano1 that i saw has a vibration filter cap... while in victor's website, it doesn't have one... feedbacks...:D thanks in advance..:)

    no, new machines

    Jens eriksen (pro) strings his NS9S up to 35lbs as well..and he gets his rackets strung electronically...
    maybe he's higher/lower now, I don't know...

    it's not like Victor makes the only rackets in the world that can handle 30lbs+....

    30+lb is actually not surprising now.... almost all the professionals have their yonex's at 30+
