    ▲ PositiveI switched to this racket to hit lighter but stronger shots. Though initially overwhelmed by its lightness, I was impressed by its excellent maneuverability and solid feedback, making it easy to handle.
    ▽ CriticalDue to its lightweight construction, durability may be questionable. One frame broke during stringing after six months of purchase, and another broke on first contact after only two months.

    • Kurorin

      Kurorin (Experience:6-10 years) Clearly different from the SX9900

      Since I ended up owning both this and the SX9900, I compared them. Both are strung with the same thin-gauge string on the soft side at 21 lbs. When you simply hold them, the SX9000 is heavier by the difference in weight. The SX9900 is 7U-320 mm (balance point) and the SX9000 is 6U-310 mm, so I assumed they'd feel about the same when swung, but the SX9000 clearly has more heft. The head works more, the feel is somewhat firmer, and the shuttle release is good. Smashes in particular are easy to put power into and come out properly heavy. I'm a typical defensive player who mainly plays doubles and doesn't have much attacking power, so I've decided to mainly use the SX9900, which favors quick hands and maneuverability. That said, the SX9000 is still a light enough racket, so for attacking players who also value maneuverability, it's a strong option.

    • kku

      kku (Experience:4-5 years) Recommended for attacking front-court doubles players

      I like playing the front court in doubles.
      I was looking for a light, easy-to-maneuver, head-heavy racket with a fairly stiff shaft, and chose this one.
      It's light, so I can return shots with time to spare, and I can hit fast smashes too, so I really like it.
      It's a racket I can highly recommend.

      However, being so light, its durability may be a bit questionable.
      I had two of them, and one broke while being strung at 23 lbs, about half a year after I bought it.
      The other one snapped in one go the first time it clashed with something, about two months after I bought it.
      I'm planning to buy a third one soon.

      Classic pro (Experience:2-3 years) It's insane

      It's so easy to use that I was blown away. I started badminton in high school, and this was my third racket, but it's the easiest to use so far. Since buying this racket I've gotten better, and my motivation has gone way up. I recommend it.

    • Satoshi

      Satoshi (Experience:11-20 years) I think the BLAZE SX9000 SPIDER is a light, aggressive racket.

      I wanted to hit powerful shots with a light racket, so I switched to Wilson's BLAZE SX9000 SPIDER. At first it was so light that I was a bit thrown while getting used to it, but after using it a little I was impressed by how good the maneuverability is. The feel when you hit comes through clearly to your hand, and I found it an easy racket to handle. It's light and lets me hit hard with confidence, my ideal racket.

    • Yoshiki

      Yoshiki (Experience:6-10 years) Easy to maneuver.

      Above all it's light, so it's easy to swing and easy to smash with. It's also slightly head-heavy, so you can hit heavy shots. It's easy to maneuver too, allowing aggressive play. From using it, I felt it's for intermediate players and above. If you have the skill to master it, I think its overall performance is high.

      Red (Experience:11-20 years) Glad I bought it!

      I'd been planning to buy this racket for a while. I was finally able to buy it the other day. It feels great to hit with in practice, and in matches I can place my shots well. The design is simple and cool too, so I definitely recommend it!

      Julie (Experience:6-10 years) Light and easy to swing.

      I regularly use this BLAZESX9000SPIDER. It's light, easy to use, and easy to control. With a fast swing you can hit great smashes. It's a really good racket, so I highly recommend it!
