    HI GUYS .. I HAVE PLANNED TO BUY TWO RACQUETS ONE IS FROM ARMOTECH AND ANOTHER IS FROM NANOSPEED. BUT I M VERY CONFUSED BETWEEN THEIR DIFFERENT MODELS. I AM A MIXED(Offensive & Defensive) TYPE PLAYER PLAYING BOTH SINGLES AND DOUBLES. PLEASE SUGGEST ME IN NANOSPEED SERIES WHICH WILL BE BETTER NANOSPEED 9000 X or S AND IN ARMOTECH SERIES ARMOTECH 900 POWER or TECHNIQUE ? PREVIOUSLY USED ARMOTECH 500 AND NANOSPEED 5000. PLEASE REPLY SOON BECAUSE I HAVE ONLY 1 MONTH TO PRACTICE FOR MY TOURNAMENT.
    THANKS IN ADVANCE... :D

    If you're all-rounded, go for the Armortec 900 Technique, and the Nanospeed 9000S. Many prople say that the X-version is not as good as the S.

    I would narrow it down to AT900T or NS9000S. AT900T is more powerful, feels heavier, but swings faster (cause of the frame profile). Nanospeed 9000S is more all around, and easy to get good power, and forgiving.

    Thanks For Helping Me Out:d. So Can You Please Suggest Me Which String And What Tension Should I Go For These Two Racquets ???? Previously Used Bg-65 On Both The Racquets At 24lbs. But Its Performance Is Not Good. Price Is Not A Matter, I Want Performance And Durability.

    the At900P (3UG5) is the most perfect racquet out there at the moment in my opinion. Although it's heavier and stiffer (much more powerful) than the Technique, you can still use it as a defensive racquet since it's not exactly horrible for defence! If you're not going to go 28lbs and above, go for nbg98 as it's both powerful and durable at medium tensions. bg65 at 24lbs would become 18lbs within a month!

    Too bad NBG98 isn't really available widely.Search for BG66 if u're looking for performance..0.66 for the best repulsion.Durability is the price u have to pay though..but it's ok to use it just for the competitions..

    Well, I got 3 x AT 800DE, just recently strung one with NBG 98 whilst the others still with BG66. Personally I feel that theres not much difference in performance. Durabilitywise, still unsure since I just restrung it very recent... So far, IMO looking at the price difference NBG 98 is not worth using regularly since its almost 3 times the price of bg66...
