I need some input

racket for Single.

Hi Yeollowraider,
Merry Christmas in advance. Have u consider Yonex Ti10, AT700 or Yonex Carbonex 20? They are pretty good rackets for single player. Just try them out and beware which weight and grip size is suitable for u. Good luck man.

i will voice like dinkalot

"get sotx!!"

ti10 is not bad, you can also try mp99 or at500

 

Well... sounds like you're having a merry Christmas for sure
If you prefer doubles... you might consider taking a head-light one.
So think that Nano's would suit you...
But maybe you could describe your style a bit???
What kind of racquet would you prefer...
Headlight, or headheavy...
Stiff or more flexible...
Think bout that... afterall... it's the person who handles the racquet, not
the racquet that wins matches

 

Sir! That's not what I say.

I say, "I prefer the SOTX Woven Series."

 

nah, just to get you in

 

Unfortunately, any answers you get here will be arbitrary. We can't pick a racket for you.

It helps if you give information about your playing style, and any preferences you have for rackets. I say it helps, but not much.

The best way (I think the only sensible way) to choose is to try some rackets by borrowing them from a shop with a good demo policy. Or, failing that, ask friends/colleagues to lend you their rackets.

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your rackets;
I come to borrow rackets, not to buy them. ​

 

if Armortec 700 is out of the budget , go for Ti 10 .
these 2 are often rated high in the forum.
i am planning to get a Amortec 700 myself , when my cash is up.

 

It didn't get to me, but it did get me to respond.

 

Okay, so you will probably prefer a head-light, even balance, or slightly head-heavy racket. You will probably find severely head-heavy rackets are too "cumbersome" for your swing.

So from that list:

AT800 DE, MP 99, MP 88: these are all even balance or slightly head-heavy

CAB 30 MS: err, ask someone else I've never tried this

Ns7000: haven't tried it myself, but supposed to be head-light

Ns8000: err, can't recall, but check the forums. I think it's even balance to head-heavy.

My personal recommendation: At800 DE. Why? Because I play with one, and I think it's great

Also, At800DE is considered by many to be a very forgiving racket, that will suit many different styles of player.

My second choice: Mp99. Another classic "can't go wrong" racket.

 

I have played AT800DE, NS8000, AT700, MP100.
In your case, I would recommand NS8000 because its suitable for both single and double.
For single, MP100 and AT700 is really good, but weak in double due to lack of speed. AT800DE is a bit too soft for single.

NS8000 swings really fast and with its extra stiff shaft it will be a good choice for both single and double.

I think NS8000 in double is excellent, and above everage in single.

 

Ummm....

Durability is not easy to measure. You will hear stories about certain rackets being easy to break; but it is hard to know whether the stories are true, or the owner is at fault.

On these forums, there have been reasonably persistent rumours regarding the poor durability of Nanospeeds.

All top quality rackets will be less durable than cheaper models. They are made of lighter materials, so they break more easily.

When considering durability, the most important factor is how controlled you and your partners are in games. If you often clash, or hit the floor, then don't buy an expensive racket (unless you have lots of spare cash).

High string tension also reduces durability.

 

I believe ur bk racket is oval head. Therefore, out of your list, cab30ms seems to be the right choice. Plus, you did like the performance, so, why not?

 

LB is right, Cab30MS is the closest one to ur m-2010 so u might consider it a good choice.

 

I'd suggest either AT800DF 3U or 4U/NS7000 3U/MP 88 3U or 4U. Those are all pretty light weight rackets, fairly similar to the BK 2010. Personally, I'd take the AT800 because the MP frame is not so durable in my opinion, whereas the AT800 is better, esp with the extra grommet holes to avoid sharing some of the grommets among two strings. The NS also uses a MP style frame, so I'm weary of that too, though it is a nice racket that I've had chance to test briefly.

Also note, these rackets tend to be doubles oriented. So if you want to stick with the BK 2010 for your doubles game, you could get a racket specific for singles. In which case durability isn't as much of a concern because you're not likely to clash. If you're into singles, MP88 3U or Ti 10 or Cab 30MS would be ideal if you are going to buy Yonex. I can recommend the new Black Knight C2C Shadow too; I demoed it and found it be amazing for power shots. It's a bit on the heavy and stiff side, whereas the 2010 is head light and flexible, so you might not like such a drastic change.

 

i dont think durability issue is a big difference between yonex rackets

i would prefer mp99 or cab30ms given its "middle way", unless you know which way you are going, middle is the best cuz your physical condition varies by hour

at series... sorry i have a armortec-phobia to give any comment

if i am about to get a new racket, out of your list i would choose mp99

but i would pick ti10 or give a try on the dinkalot woven 9

 

and you can't ignore the fact that ovals (especially cabs) are almost always more durable than any iso head racquet, any day of the week.
