    I have been using Aerotus 65 for many years and i cannot find any other racquets that fit my style more. Any recommendations for a newer models that have similar feel of Aerotus 65?

    since AR65 is oval, very hard for an iso frame racket to feel like oval.
    Try cab 20, AT300

    There is always the Aerotus 100 if you like to stick with Aerotus rackets.

    Thanks for the recommendation.

    Apart from AR65, I also own a AR110 and recently a MusclePower Limited SP which was bought supposedly to replace AR65. Both AR110 and MP do not feel the same as AR65 in the control during fast actions. I will at times miss returning a smash or even a drop shot or when at times able to return shots but not to precisions.

    Perhaps it was me rather than racquets? or perhaps not understanding what design/specification suits me hence couldnt find the right racquets?

    or perhaps understanding the specs of AR65 will solve my problems but i could not find any materials/write up about AR65? pls advice

    AR110? I never heard of that one, unless you meant the AR100.

    I did see a Boron back then . Not sure if it's the 200 but I reconize that it was a baby blue color or something unless I am wrong lol.

    AR100 is the one to go, it's the JP!! :D I'm not sure what materials it has thou ROFL!

    :p:p:p................
    paint job on the AR100 isn't durable, it pits alot, the racket would look like a Dalmatian (dog), multi black dots on a silverish racket

    kelvin had a AR65 once, dunno if he still got it.

    dunno if he had sold his ar70 either.

    i think AR70 is similar to AR65 but just slightly stiffer.

    Hey guys,

    Thanks for all the feedback. hmmm I guess i may have to try out cab 30 !

    And Cooler, thanks for all the recommendation. I think i would want to replace AR65 to a newer model that is still in production, to avoid similar problem. And someone told me Nanospeed 7700 is a good choice, what do you think?

    7700 is a very to adapt racket. U need to get the 2U version to come closer to the AR65.

    1 minor point. NS7700 has shock dampening cone. You might get less feed back because of that. On the other hand, it is a very powerful racquet with AT head and NS shaft.
    I have to disagree on the 2U. I feel 3 U is a good choice because the longer racquet length and even balance. It feel almost the same as Cab20's 2U weight.
