Suggestions please

Ns 6000-7000 are both very headlight racquets. Leaning more towards defensive play. The 6000 is a bit flexible, as the 7000 is rated stiff. I do not think either of these racquets suit an offensive player.

The mp99 is an even balanced racquet. And rated very stiff. It's like the thing in between. Very good allrounder racquet. But the shaft stiffness might be an problem adjusting to for you, coming from flexible racquets.

I'd advice you to try the at-500. It seems like a racquet that would suit your style of play, and it won't be to demanding when looking at your current weapons. It's a tad headheavy and not too stiff. It's by bet.

 

I don't think any of the Nanospeeds suit an attacking player, as none of them have any real weight in the head; they are better for the control and defensive player IMO (the 9000X is probably closest to an attacking racket).

As in the previous post, I would point you towards an AT500 first, as it has head weight but is also more flexible than the rest of the Armortecs (so it's more forgiving). If that isn't aggressive enough for you, try an AT700 - the head-heaviest Yonex racket there is at the moment, and stiffer than the 500. The ones in the new red paint job are nowhere near as fragile as the previous black version (but not as pretty either).

If neither of these is extreme enough, have a look at my current weapon of choice - an Armortec 900 Power: not as head-heavy as a 700 (pretty damn close), but with the stiffest shaft I could find. I don't want to sound condescending, but going from an MP23 to one of these is a massive leap, so I would look mainly at the 500 and, possibly, the 700.

 

AT500 is pretty safe; nice solid feel, good power, and pretty good maneuverability. Control is pretty good too. If you want better control and power, but less maneuverability go for the 700. MP99 has pretty good power (less than AT700 IMO), but has great control, and is pretty easy to maneuver.

 

You should try yonex arcsaber 7..they say its very good for offensive players

 

It's out already in Japan and Singapore, but not sure about other countries yet.

 

i think the arcsaber7 is good for you too

 

My doubles partner uses the NS7000 he is a very attacking player with a great smash, so whilst in general the NS may suit more defensive play, its much more down to personal preference. I know a lot of attacking players who use head light to even balance rackets.

Personally, I like the AT500 as its not so extreme (not too head heavy / stiff) as the other Amortecs, and I agree with Mark that it would be a good first one to buy in the Amortec range if you want one. However, for you I would recommend the NS6K as it is more flexible, but still head light and easy to play with. I think that your MP23 is also flexible, so the NS6K should be a good upgrade.

 

Do anyone of you know a online store that sells the arcsaber7?i have this site from korea and japan but i don't understand a thing in the site...maybe APEX00 could purchase one online for his new racquet...have you bought one already?
