    The best i have played with is prob Ab2000. It is a good racket and stiff. the rasmussen is excellent as well. The As 1 is stiff but head light. I would always lay my money on Ab 2000 as it had the best balance for all round game in Doubles.

    100% Agreed!

    Before switching to oh-expensive Yonex's, AB 2000 was my best companion. The feel is great and power is out of this world. Control wise is so-so.

    Hi,

    I like the feel and play of the Airblade AS Ti and the Airblade AS1, but if your looking for value for money, then try the Airblad 1000 or even he Airblade 8000, both nice rackets to play with.

    Matt

    Rasmussen

    I don't know about the MegaFlex or AS models, but from those I have owned and used I would probably rate the Rasmussen highest. It's the best all-rounder in my opinion, the AB900 is a bit extreme (too head heavy, great power but lacks precision) and the AB1000 is good but a little too light for me these days... I haven't tried the AB2000.

    Remember, no matter what Carlton racquet you buy. Always change the factory strings!!....
    IMO, they suck and they are horrible in performance.

    I like the AS-Ti racket which I've tried before.
    Very tempted to add it to my colection of racket but decided not to because most of the rackets I'm using are "long" rackets and ISO shaped.
