    AT900T is the updated version of AT800DEF so they are about the same in performance. Just go with the AT900T since AT800DEF had durability issues.

    personally i find my at800de more powerful and maneuverable than my at900t. both rackets are 3ug4 and strung with same string/tension.

    ps. my at800de is from the 2004 batch and its seems to be less head heavy than another piece from the 2006 batch which i eventually sold.

    if you want Yonex, go with AT900T. AT800DE has durability issue, and mine didn't even survive one clash.

    if you don't care about the brand, there are too many options.

    Not to be rude, but didn't you say you were a beginner in another thread? and that you had trouble clearing? I don't think using a stiffer racquet will help your cause...with the money that you have for the racquet, get a coach or get a good pair of badminton shoes.

    Agreed. Racquet can only shine your outter look for so long. If you got no skills, you will never improve.

    Sifuyono is a beginner? He certainly doesn't sound like one to me...

    No, in his profile, it says he's an intermediate.

    Of the two, I would go for the AT900T.

    i have no problem with such a stiff racquet, even with ns9000x (the one already broke)...

    just need to know your advice about these two and almost similar racquet....:D

    i haven't compare those two at same time, but i already try in different situation.....:)
