i am not good in such things but i try my best . 1 . Balancepoint the balancepoint is at 295 mm , means it is sth between balanced and headheavy still more than slightly 2 . Weight i removed the basic grip and replaced it with a towerl grip . overall it comes down to 102 g which is quite heavy 3 . handlingswing speed due to its AirstreamTechnology the racket movement esp . when it comes down to drives is really really good . 4 . smashpower due to its slight head heavy balance the power is good enough for hard and fast smashes . so . although its a headheavy , stiff and overall heavy racket the handling is still superb . i own a zf 2 and you can ' t compare it to the N 99 when it comes down to handling in offense and defense . the power of the zf 2 is more devastating but you lack in defense maneuverability . the n 99 is the current flagship of LiNing . high quality materials make it really robust so string tensions up to 3032 lbs are easy for the frame . when you have a master class stringmaster you can go even higher if your skill allows it . hope it helps . if you have any questions feel free oh and for reference the N 99 costs 220 in germany
