Hi all, I have been using AT150 for quite a well and I always feel it is toooo head heavy to me and difficult to manuver. After using AT300, I feel this racket is alot better for me, good smash and quick manuver. But I don't find any 300 in the UK, only 250 500 and 700, which I have never tried any of them, so I don';t know the difference. 250 seems quite close to 300, but it is only 10 pounds cheaper than 500, so it seems not very good for money. I would like to select a balanced racket with maybe a little bit head heavy, so I don't know which I should go for, and which one is close to 300. Friends suggested me to try MP99 as well, no idea about that either, please give me some suggestion on it. many thanks
I like smash, so maybe a head heavy one suit for me, but I don't want to compomise on manuver, while AT150 is too head heavy for me, so anybody knows AT300 please recommend me a racket with similar performance.
AT500 and 700 are all pretty head heavy; 700 being extremely, while 500 be moderately. MP99 is slightly less than the AT500. I'm not sure how that compares to the AT150 though.
The AT 500 is a good racquet. I find its not that head heavy and is very balanced. But i AM using a 4U; I don't know what weight you are using.
Well I did have the at150 for some time and it was definately head heavy, (i forgot the u's and g) everytime I smashed it always felt powerful, but the draw back was that for a second longer I'd be moving forward looking at the ground and I would be unable to get the bird if returned. Im still testing the mp99 so Ill get back to you when I can actually play with the racket xD! Its definately less head heavy, in fact it's even so manuevrability must be slightly better.
Thanks, please also tell me what do you feel the difference of the stiffness. have no idea how much diffence could be made from AT150 with medium stiff to MP99 with extra stiff.
With the at 150 being medium stiff, it flexed a bit more adding slightly more power. The mp 99 feels about as stiff as the at500. Overall the stiffness is quite different.
To make a comparison, in my opinion the mp99 has the stiffness of the at 500 without being head heavy. (its balanced)
ok. here is my report, after using MP99, and AT500, I think MP99 is toooo light for me and AT500 is just poweful and wonderful, I prefer to go for AT500 but friends said that 700 is similar priced to 500 then why not go for 700, what do you guys say? I think there is some problem with my original 150, I know all 150 500 and 700 are head heavy, but after comparing with 500, my 150 is too heavy to wave. never tried 700, what do you say?
Armortec 700 is the most extreme head heavy racket there is O.O, I say stick with the at500 since you have tried it and feel its good.
reason I ask is that I was told both 500 and 700 is head heavy, and 700 is heavier. but only few people tried 150, which I think is far too heavy. After I used 500, I feel the so called head heavy is not that "heavy", maybe just there is some problem with my 150. I like smashing, after using even balanced MP99, I gave even balance up. so I am thinking since 500 is fine for me, then how about 700...
last thing, who can tell me the durability of 700 and 500, which one is better?? I don't want to break my 80-90 pounds too easily.
