What type of racket would generate more power? a head light racket with an extra stiff shaft (eg ns8000), or a head heavy with a slightly stiff shaft? (eg arc10)

Doesnt that depend on the player? A player using only muscle power and no wrist would probably get more power out of an head heavy racket then he would from a head light.

Yeah, definitely depends on the player. As a general consensus, head heavy rackets hit harder that head light ones but different people will find different things. If you can swing fast, stiffer rackets generally create more power whereas people with slower swings tend to be better off going for something flexier.
