thanks for the respnoses. i'm asking because i recently switched to this raquet. i'm having trouble with my topspin backhand, and i lose a bit of control on my FH. i wanted to see how some pros swing through the ball so i can maybe pick up some tips.

im not a pro but the nBlade requires you to swing very fast since its flexible, not heavy, and has a high swingweight. The sweetspot is also very high for this racquet. I had trouble adjusting aswell but in the end i got used to it by preparing earlier on both my forehand and backhand (two handed). I also added around 10g right under the buttcap to make it more headlight and so far it has made it easier to whip the racquet around.

For me the onliest way this racket is playable is to add min. 15 gr. lead into the head. It's much too light for a players racket and I know that Phau uses it with at least 330 gr. unstrung.

yeah it seems like it lacks weight when i try to block balls from power hitters. it feels very good on the volleys and serve though. i'm used to the very high sweet spot, so that's not an issue. thanks for the tips btw...:cool:
