Can someone list the general differences between these two rackets? For example; I know X is stiffer than S which creates more powerful but is harder to control. What are the changes with the feel, weight and power of the 2 rackets. I read that the 9900 is head lighter and faster but not sure if it will produce the same power. The 9000X is supposedly the most head-heavy of it's series, is that true? I kinda like the power for my smashes. I currently own 9000X and AT700 (both BG-80 26lbs), I'm an all-rounder player who leans toward power and offensive play in singles and doubles. Do I generally have the rackets that's suited for my style or should I make upgrades to NS9900 and AT900P for more power (even with trade-offs to having less defense)? I don't like Arc10 because it's too soft which makes it hard for me to generate power, same goes for AT900T for having a light and empty-feel swing.
You're generalising. The 9000X gives more power if you can make it bend, if you can't you'll find more power from the 9000S. You already own one of the best attacking rackets there is, the AT700. Even the AT900P is generally considered to be a less powerful, attacking racket than the AT700.
Thanks for the reply Dan. I was not planning to buy the AT900P because I have the AT700 already. Anyone have a say about the NS9900?
Just wondering, did you read anything on the forum about the NS9900?. There has been a lot of talk about it, especially on your question. Search it up.
Hmm, well I own the Armortec 900 Power and Technique, NS 9000X, NS 9900, Armortec 700, NS 7700, and the ArcSaber 10. From what you say about the rackets I find that you have a very similar taste is rackets as I. In my opinion, the NS 9000x has quite a bit more power than a NS 9900. NS 9000X/S are indeed the heaviest head-heavy NS and on the other hand the NS 9900 is the second or third lightest. People think the NS 9900 has alot of power but it's main strengh is it's very light, so great control, and it's power is equivalent to something similar to the Armotec 900T. If you play all out smashing then go with the Armortec 700 for sure. Hope that helps.
