    Hi folks,

    I'm a casual beginner player. Used to be intermediate and stopped then for the past 5 months just started again. Most of the time played double becoming a front man most the time (depending on the opponents, if at the same skill level, I played alternate between front man and back). Own VT60, Nanoray 20, Arcsabre 02DX and my ancient Carbonex 8DX. I very rarely use the Arcsabre since its a stiff flex and still having difficulties clearing from back with this racket. My main to go is VT60 with Nano 20 as backup.

    I believe my play have improved (thanks to this forum too) lately. And I believe its time for me to advance for a more stiffer racket thus hopefully achieve a faster smash and drop. Medium flex shaft seems to fit my style of play.

    I have the following on my mind:
    Nanospeed 6600 or VT I-Force or Arcsabre 9FL

    Any comments or other racket suggestions? Or just save the money and stays with my current rackets?

    Thank you in advance for any suggestions.....

    i am own vt70 now... when your wrist and hit become stronger and faster... u will realize medium shaft will not suit for u anymore especially when u play double and need faster pace most of the time

    Carlton Kinesis X70 with Yonex NBG99 @ 24lbs looks tempting ....

    bought arc9fl. played with it tonight. Overall I can feel straight away that my smash is faster (as expected fr this racket) but VT60 gives me more control. Net play less control, shuttle placement more accurate on VT60 albeit is negligible or more like a rough feeling only. Drive distance about the same.

    Overall it gives me what I wanted. One major gripe, the color......PINKKKKKK. Thought might as well go all out and strung it with PINK NBG99 JP @24lbs. Lucky my friends in the court didnt really notice.

    Thanks for all the advice.......

    I think you have a affinity to Yonex rackets? So why don't test the voltric 5 or 7? Maybe the Voltric 9 Also suits to your game? :D
