    I need a new racket because my old one broke.

    My old racket:
    Price: ~70€ payed in a sportshop
    Flex: Extra Flexible
    Composition: Graphite
    Weight: 3U (85-89g) (don't know if it's 4U)
    Grip: Pacific Softy Overgrip (Extra soft & tack)

    I liked the lightness of the racket and the fact that it feels balanced. On the other hand compared to other rackets it always felt like it was too short and I couldn't generate enough power - although I felt like capable. I also used a MP 23 racket and a 75MF light which I liked as well. Perhaps the MP 23 was the best I've used. I used an Arcsaber 10 too but I don't feel like I'm able to control it very well. Also it doesn't seem balanced (head-heavy) and felt quite heavy imo.

    My ranking at best would be C1 (although I am not officially ranked).
    I am looking for a racket that would suit that ranking.
    I am playing 90% doubles both mixed and not.
    I am a man :p
    I play mostly offensive and wouldn't call myself a good defender.
    My previous racket felt really good for defending though.
    My net play isn't very goodl.
    I play about 2 x 1.5 hours / week.


    New racket

    Brand: Yonex
    Price: at least 90€

    I was thinking like a good allround nanospeed racket?
    Any advice?

    are you dutch?

    uhm maybe you can try the arcsaber series. i have the arcsaber 10 it is even balanced(slightly head heavy). or the nanospeed 9000 x or s.

    and i think you should try a armortec 900 P or T, armortec 700 before you make up your mind about head heavy rackets. Maybe it surprises you in a good way.

    Ja ik spreek nederlands :p

    I already tried the arcsaber 10 and didn't think it was very agile. I felt like I wasn't be able to move the racket quickly enough. An extra stiff racket seems like a no go to me. A stiff one would probably be a good choice.
    For ns 9000 and at900 I'm looking at 160€ in my area. I'd rather go a bit cheaper.
    Would you advise against the NS7000?

    Anybody else who would advise me to try to adapt to a more (head)heavy racket?

    that is your own decision. the Nanospeed 7000 is a good pick. head lgiht, fast, decent overall. good choice.

    Also, if you dont mind. i would advise other brands. think about Wilson, head.
    I can say that the Metallix 4000 from Head is head light, and pretty fast.

    I love my At 900P which I play like 80% doubles and my bro uses AT 900T and he's my partner. There both kinda expensive maybe a NS 7000 is good because it feels like multi purpose racquet. But look at Wilson they have really nice racquets for the price.

    I'm afraid you will need to use English here.
    You could also use an online translator and post the translated text here.

    ok,

    Kversch if you want something headlight and want to be yonex you should take a look at the nanospeed 9000 s or X. 9000s is stiff and 9000x is xtra stiff. you can find one in Holland for about 120-140 euro's. take a look at www.regeersport.nl
