hi there folks. my ns8k broke .... so i need a new racket... i am a naturally attacking player in both singles and doubles. pretty fast swing speed. previous rackets: AT 700 (OLD) NS8K NS6K AT500 out of all of them i must say i loved the at700 the most. but im not very up to date with the newer releases.... i have a budget of £100. thanks in advanced!
If you like the AT700 most then for all reasons go buy it. Don't go looking for something you'll like less!! The newer rackets are: AT900T - Good control, quite speedy, and lacks smashing power only compared to the most agressive rackets but still good enough to kick most other rackets ass. It's currently 1 of the most popular racket out there. At900P - Probably the harder and more powerful racket to wield, won't do good in doubles as it is slower to move with. Arc Saber 7 - No comment... look elsewhere. I would still suggest the Ns9K(S) simply because it seems to me that'll be the racket most suitable for your style. You're used to using Ns6k for doubles and singles, but would like more power through speedy swings - bingo - Ns9k(S) does exactly that for you. The type X is however too hard to wield so I prefer you not to get that.
so maybe the ns9k is a good choice.... but its too expensive for me... the rackets in my range are: NS7K NS8K AT700 AT500 most MP'S (99 etc...) otherwise i would consider the NS9k
1. the only different = colour 2. if not in hurry, just check out your local stores, compare prices.... happy shopping.....
You have to get a racket that you like most as well as the one that gives you the best feel and touch during the game. Like other members, I would strongly recommend you to go with your fav, AT700, unless you are looking at another level of play with a different racket.
in a sudden reversal, its now between the AT700 and ns9k. WHICH ONE????!!!!??? and what spec of NS9k? if u need a little more info about my game... just post..
I'm happy to hear you announce being able to pick the Ns9k. Now without second thought I'll refer back to my first post, Ns9k(S) definately suits your criteria. Ns8k player looking for more power? Ns9k(S) is there for you. Same racket style, same technology, but slightly more balanced towards the head for better attack.
