Badminton Racket First Impressions: Yonex Nanospeed 9900

There's almost as much legend about this racket as the ArcSabers 10 and Z-Slash. It's got a very strong player base, and for a very good reason.

I finally got my hands on the Nanospeed 9900 a few days ago, had it restrung with my BG80 Power in orange, and then hit the courts for some singles action!

The racket is known for its hard smashes despite being a head light racket. The extra stiff shaft and the 2U weight for this one definitely added to the attacking power of the racket. I dare say that the Nanospeed 9900 trumps the NR700 in many aspects.

Drives, smashes, blocks and clears, the NS9900 does wonders.

I wonder if the speed will translate into a doubles game victory streak... Only time will tell, and of course, a review.
