Thought to be familiar with one more racquet.Are they similar racquets ? It's not easy to get Z slash here.

I am a firm believer of going back to basics every once in awhile so we do not forget. <br /><br />I've started a new series on that, inspired from my experiences training with a beginner friend of mine, and hope you will find it useful. I'll try and touch on increasing power of your shots in one of the articles. <br /><br />When you start to notice a good improvement in the quality of your shots, a new racket will work even more wonders :)<br /><br />Happy smashing!Arthurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14124500583168930888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19359356.post-82227243111330741082017-03-20T19:21:54.959+08:002017-03-20T19:21:54.959+08:00Thank you, Arthur

I was just concentrating on buying the best racquet and following the best doubles international players. <br />I will start concentrating on improving my game. I am getting more confidence after putting a little more effort, I will stick to Nanoray 900 for a while now. My game style is changing slowly from defensive to attacking. I may try Duora 10 as you suggested if possible after some time ( I want pure power only now :) ).<br /><br />- ChandraAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01205726707491199973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19359356.post-7519387111374699652017-03-09T01:34:28.499+08:002017-03-09T01:34:28.499+08:00Hey there Chandra,

The NR900 is a very good doubles racket that offers speed and defensive capabilities without compromising too much on the back court. <br /><br />Instead of getting a new racket, can I suggest you lower the string tension on your racket?

That racket is a go-to for a lot of seasoned doubles players. <br /><br />If you're after pure power, pick the Duora. The Z-Speed and Arcsaber will offer more control. I have not used the Jet Speed so I can't comment on that. <br /><br />Either way, all three rackets are less stiff than the 9900, and if you're lacking in power from the racket I would think the two I suggested would suffice. <br /><br />For more power you might also want to consider a Voltric 80 or the ZForce. They are both choice rackets.<br /><br />Happy smashing!

Despite people's complaints about mis-hits and hard to adjust to, I was eventually able to master it and it me to smash the hardest I've ever done and at the steepest angles among all the rackets I've tried. In looking to replace it with something equal or better, would you say the z-speed is the best option? I've read reviews on the Nanoray glanz, 900, arcsaber fb and the z force 2. I need a rackets that's easy on the arm so I can play longer. The head heavy rackets don't seem to fit that requirement.Irvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03029745306343327023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19359356.post-57760293833220962502016-06-08T18:10:34.415+08:002016-06-08T18:10:34.415+08:00You'll never know until you try.

At that level the player is well equipped to differentiate.<br /><br />Generally, lighter rackets with softer shafts are easier on the arms.<br /><br />The harder you hit, the less the tension retains. Thicker strings are more durable. You'll be better off with Yonex BG66 or BG80 if you're after a thicker string. Though most to all intermediate / advanced players will cut their strings once it becomes unplayable; durability is not a concern to them.Arthurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14124500583168930888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19359356.post-82579682438294136002016-01-03T13:51:41.753+08:002016-01-03T13:51:41.753+08:00Dear Wong,
