    Ive been considering these three rackets. Im getting into singles lately and I'm really an all around type player, i dont have a preference in agressive or defensive play, but i want a racket that is excellent in doing both. Which one of these 3 rackets do you guys think well preferable be an excellent singles racket in all aspects? Btw would i get the best of the arcsaber even if it is 3u?

    Arc 10 is the best. Nanospeed 9900 is very stiff unless you got the power to get the best out of it. If not arc 10 will be more user friendly

    Pricing is always the factor that affect us making a decision :D
    But isn't K-blaze will be cheaper in terms of price?:D
    Arc 10 is good, red hot baby:)
    I always like red:)
    Had lifted both racket before, Arc 10 is heavier:D

    The wilson k-blaze is what i use right now, but it seems too flex for me and its really really light. I was just getting ideas for the next racket i buy. I used a friend's 2U arcsaber and the clear power was wayy more further than my k blaze. I also tried the nanospeed9900 and it packs a hard punch for smashes, but ive only tried these rackets for 10 minutes each, so i feel like i need opinions from people who have them or use them on a daily basis.

    I never really fancy the Nanospeed series as i think they are too head light and also too stiff but the NS9900 change my mind, it is a really good racquet !!!

    Surprisingly, power from the racquet is very good and the paintwork definitely much more durable than the Arc10 which chip easily.

    If you are able to handle the NS9900, go for that.

    try the K tour, its stiffer, and heavier. However, its balance is close to that of the K blaze, which would allow for similar feel/ interchangeability.

    Wow

    Skewlz is definitely stronger than me:)
    Sir, i personally think if u want to test it out; should test out for 1-2 hrs to see if u will be tired after long period of play.:D
    Usually, most of us play a minimum of at least one hour.:)
    The main thing now is are we able to use it for 2-3 court play?:confused:
    We ourselves try use it would be best if not after spend so much money get the racket and found we are not used to the racket we initially wanted:)
    I also wish i could use heavy racket so that i can smash "hard", but however i just cant as i m weak to play for long hours:D

    I am using the arc 10 right now. Previously i was using mp99. The difference is when i use arc 10 i don feel tired about 2 or 3 games but for mp99 i will struggle towards the end. So if u want a racket that don tired you out so much. Try arc 10 or something lighter.

    its not that im stronger lol, ive just been using this racket for so long that i feel other rackets, based on the ones ive demoed, offer more power and control.

    and btw for all the people who do say arc10, you guys mean the 3u and not the 2u right?

    Just gave up my NS9900, used for 2 weeks, and going back to Arc10. The NS9900 was fast but too light and needed a lot more effort offensively, but great defensively. The Arc10 has a more solid feel all around and not as stiff. Both strung at 27/29#s. Just my 2 cents.

    Imo, the 9900 is a great racquet for both doubles/singles! Just make sure you test the racquets out before buying them? :)

    G'luck!

    Please update on your new racquet after you're one with it.

    the arc10 is food if you can't defend as well with a head heavy racquet but I kind of prefer the at900t it takes quite a while to get use to the arc 10 acording to my freind
    Kind of wishing I did not sell at900t missing it :(
    Ns9900 is one he'll of a replacement
