    umm... well i have an AT800DF... it seems pretty good to me.
    i've never tried the BK turbo flex, so i cant reli make a comparison.

    but the AT800DF is a reli good raquet, pretty good all around and especially (cuz its made for it, duhhh ^_^) for defensive.

    Not much help here as I've never tried the Yonex, but I did give the TurboFlex a good go, and personally I didn't like it at all. Matter of fact not one person who used it that day liked it. I have a 10+ yr. old BK Sabre which is better in every aspect. JMO of course

    Hard to say, pretty much everything about it lol!

    I tried it at a BK demo day, maybe I was just too impressed with the Superlights, especially the Photon. I just couldn't seem to do anything with it, it just felt weird you know? Now that doesn't mean it's a crappy racket or anything, it just didn't work for me.

    I see it's a little longer than the rackets I've tried, the only exception being the BK Feather, and I really liked that one.

    What exactly do you mean by power system? Are you talking about the two flattened spots on the shaft (TurboFlex)?
