Conclusion
The Best TS 9m performs best in the high wind range. Above 17 knots you will get a great performer in advanced characteristics like. Lift, pop, fast steering, short turning circle. Combined with good feedback, stable and full depower. Best tuned this kite real nice! Away from the characteristics we had some A real playful performer! If we are leaving the characteristics and look at the price/quality aspect. We believe the Best kite delivers under average, the safety system and one pump system are basic. No problem for the Kahoona as a step in kite, but in the performer range the Best TS has a heavy price/quality competition. We couldn't test the durability of course, but if you like to give input about this aspect.

Basics
Safety system
Try the safety first before you go out. It needs a bit practice to reassemble the safety
Kite re-launch
pull on the steering lines

You can ride pretty early but haven't got that pop an playfulness
Total depower
Kite stability
Great, also very stable in gusts
Oldskool
Low-end
You can ride early but less playfulness
High-end
Best performer in its high end
Lift
Nice, one of its best characteristics
Wave
Feedback at edge of wind window
Turning circle
Small radius, turns around it's tips. Fast reaction
Reaction to steering action
tip turn
Race
Going upwind
Best up wind performance in its high end. In its low-end the TS build up power in a shorter flight lines stroke. So its harder to stay up wind
Kiteposition in wind-window
Shifts real well between positions. Great for pop. No bar wobbling, so really well tuned
