    I'm planning on buying a new racket. I'm a very agressive player who smashes a lot. Can you guys recommend me a racket that you think sorts my style

    may I hijack the thread?

    im looking for a new racket also..

    i play both singles and doubles, but im focussing clearly at singles

    my style of play atm is to make wide clears and good drops and smash when i am in a good position for it

    Oh I see similar to me but I am better at doubles (I win more matches) so..... I think you should consider Voltric 80 it has good control and superb power

    You might need to give Arc 10 a try, it has a wonderful control.

    Since you are an aggressive player, that means you need a racket which fast & powerful for smashing. You might need to try Victor MX80.

    NS9900 is indeed really fast, but it is not that playable for Singles. If you want to buy 1 racket for both Singles & Doubles, then you should really consider MX80

    i have found in this forum that the arc z slash is a little easier to handle / lighter than the VT80 and consider that racket now too
    whats the difference between arc 10 und arc zslash?


    is there another colour for arc10 than this deep red? red really really does not suit me (design is the very last thing i take into consideration tho)

    I had an arc 7. It's a nice overall racket for single and double use. Nothing to complain about that racket.

    I use Victor MX80 for both doubles and singles. It is a fantastic racket if you like to attack. Great in doubles defense and netplay too. It is also very stiff and this may not suit everyone. I bought it after recomandations I found on this forum and became my main racket shortly after I bought it.
    Prior to mx80 I used Zslash (which is now my second choice) - great smasher, but I found that I tend to make a few more mistakes using it than with any other racket. This doesnt seem to improve in time.
