    Well the holidays are approaching and my father said I could get a new racquet. I currently use a Armortec 900 Power and it has worked just fine for me, I tried my friends AT Technique and it jus twant for me. I need a backup racquet that can be used in both singles and doubles and is relativly close to
    the AT 900 power. Possibly post links on ebay if you could find a good racquet, except if its from China. For some reason my dad wont buy if its from there. Thanks in advance

    EDIT:
    Also I tend to smash at net for a kill( just smashing alot ) and I tip alot too.

    Try getting another AT900P, or perhaps an AT700.

    Don't buy racquets from Ebay, 99.9999% of them are fakes.

    Exactly. Otherwise get something very similar to it.

    Try www.wingeebadminton.com

    I got a W7 as a backup racket and it has since become my primary - my 900P has been relegated. I'm going to be vicarious and suggest a 900T because it's similar enough to the P to make the adjustment easy but behaves slightly differently and might end up suiting you even better (in which case you'll have the P as a backup).

    ... more like 99.999999999%. We're in UK and I got stung by a fake that was priced like a real racket:mad:, and the US eBay is no better. I think sumai is the only seller of genuine rackets.

    I am 900P user as well, but also interested in the W7. Can you give a close comparison on the 2 racquets.

    Thanks

    900 P is a lot stiffer than W 7 :D.

    Both pack big punches.

    Okay, will leave the rest of the comparison to others . . . :D

    Why not consider buying it from a retail shop :)

    You usually get a better price if you buy online. Also, availability might be an issue in his area.
