    I Have a armortec 800 offence and am looking for a backup Racket that is similar to the armortec 800. I was wondering if the armortec 900 power is good.

    Yup, the AT900P is the successor of the AT800OF. You could as well get another AT800OF for back-up.

    At900p is stiff at800o is extra stiff, go for something like muscle power 99 or 100 or at700 i dunno i havnt tried the at800OF, but the at700 is stiff-extra stiff and head heavy

    the 900 power is probally the closest racquet that you will get to the at800 off. i had an 800 offensive before and then i also used a 900 power and they feel really similar there was little to no difference in stiffness that i noticed and in playability for that matter.

    You can still buy the AT800OFF from Asia, that way you won't need to worry about the rackets being different.

    If you enjoy the AT800OF then stay with it.

    the most similar one is a same one.....
    if you don't have any complaints on your present racket, any reason not to get one more if needed?

    The only problem with AT800OF is that it is hard to find in some areas of the world.

    If you order from reputable online shops, you'll never get fakes. If you use Ebay and buy racquets that cost super cheap...well...
