I love everything about the nBlade, and the soft feel and the arm friendliness.
but it's not in production anymore..
the kBlade however, i heard it is very stiff and totally different.
other people say nothing changed.
other people say its better
i need your feedback
there is one nblade left in my tennis shop, but a lot of kBlades,
thank you for leaving an opinion

The most efficient way to determine which one would be best for you would be to try out both of them, however if this is not possible, I think I'd go with the KBlade only because it would easier to get more of them in bulk...

i've played the nBlade 98 for two years.. and i love it. the kBlade is not much different.. to me, the kBlade is more solid and has slightly more power. demo it if you can. you really can't go wrong with either. personally, i like the kBlade more. this doesn't really matter, but i like the kblade paintjob better too. & man, the feel of the kblade is soo smoooth..

The kBlade is indeed stiffer, and more crisp. The nBlade is softer with more comfort, and a little less powerful. The nBlade however has a tendency to crack in the throat area because of the lack of sufficient materials/graphite. (Do a search if you want more info. Though I have no idea about the durability of the kBlade.)

^^ - i agree with what AC said, although i haven't seen breakage with the nblades in our tennis club.

also the kblade feels more manevourable than the nblade. although they are comparable in weight, the nbl feels much heavier. the kb didn't feel as stiff as the ratings indicate. strokewise, i liked the nb much better for return of serve while the kb was much better for volleying and slice bandhands.
