I've heard that this racquet is a powerful racquet and plays kinda like the mp-77. However, I can't find any here in toronto, they have airblade 600s / rasmussens and the as-ti's but no AB900. Also, can anyone tell me if it's a 2u or 3u racquet? Is it long? Is it iso shaped head?

Newbie, you've heard partially wrong. The now-discontinued AB 900 is indeed a very powerful racquet, but it plays nothing at all like an MP-77. I understand the AS-Ti is supposed to be roughly the replacement for the AB 900 but I'm not sure if it is - a friend just got one a month ago or so and I will try to test it out tomorrow night and let you know how it compares. I would say that the AB 900 is half way between the old copper AB 600 (a fairly light racquet) and the new grey AB 600Ti (heavier racquet that has a very head heavy balance) in terms of shaft stiffness, weight and balance.

If you want in-depth impressions of the AB 900, go to the reviews section and read my review and Mag's. Also, you can read my review of my MP-77, but you should note that my MP-77 is a 2U, and a 3U version of that racquet may play quite a bit different. Essentially, the MP-77 is a much slower racquet than the AB-900, as a result of its 10mm longer shaft, slightly more head-heavy balance, 95g - 2U weight (compared to the 90g weight of the AB 900) and box-shaped MP frame. The Carlton's Airblade frame is very aerodynamic and more maneuverable than the MP-77's and generates more power with less effort (at least for an average player). However, I would say that the MP-77 is a more accurate racquet and I found it easier to control touch shots with it than the AB 900, assuming that you have plenty of time to get the racquet into place. The AB 900 takes quite a bit of time to become adapted to the feel for making those tricky drop shots and string choice makes a significant difference.

Carltons are all oval racquets and I don't think the company has ever made an isometric or square headed racquet. Its better quality racquets for the past five years have all been at or under 90g, except the AB 600Ti (if the one I had was representative of the average one) which I felt weighed about 95g.
