    Hey guys, I'm wondering about peoples experiance with this racket, i've seen arcs review and it looks quite nice. I mainly play doubles (mixed and mens) and im wondering how it copes at the net?

    I currently have a nanospeed 9000 x, and i don't really like the head liteness of it

    AT900P is really heavy on the head. If u do 1 wrong swing, u'll pull the muscle between ur hand and shoulder (the deltoid). But when u can hold it strong enough, smashes are accurate and not bad for drives..

    I personally like the 700 better, gravity really helps the smash movement of the racket. The 900 requires more effort for smashes. But if you play doubles, why not try the 900T?

    the AT 900 power takes much more effort to smash cause its very stff compared to other racquets (im pretty sure), if you are playing doubles the AT900 Technique would be the better choice

    I mainly play singles but I also do doubles for fun and I use my at900P for those aswell, aslong as you grip up on the racket there no problem at all. If you however only play doubles and dont want to being forced to grip up and down on the racket it might not be for you.
