    Changing AT500 for AT900T

    Hi there,

    i'm thinking about changing my AT500 for a brand new AT900T; who can tell me the différences between those two rackets.

    Thanks.

    I would say the 900 has a lot more power (i use), and i used my friends 500, and the 900 a lot better at the net and it has a really good feel to it, the only problem is that for me it took awhile to get used to, but it was defiantly worth it once i got used to it. I would say that after i got that racket it helped, I have pretty good shots, so it fine tuned it for me. Well its hard to say but, I defiantly love the racket.

    It feels really good when you do a drop shot or and smash.

    Its pretty stiff, almost as stiff as a armortec 800 offence, its rated at stiff. It is stiffer your 500.

    I play 2 times a week at least. My old racket was mid stiff and was an oval, it took me about 6 weeks.

    I made the switch from AT500 to AT900T last year, the main difference between the two rackets are AT900T has a faster swing speed and it's more stiff. AT900T is much better for net play due to the stiffer shaft.

    It took around a month to get fully adopted to the AT900T. It is a really good racket and it is very accurate.
