    Does anyone who own both of these rackets know the actual difference between them?

    I've used AT500, NS9kX, AT700, and recently just bought AT900P.
    To me, it feels pretty much exactly the same as the AT500?? Why do I feel so ripped off! =(

    I know AT500 have longer shaft, which i even prefer more... So someone please tell me how AT900P justifies almost twice the price compared to AT500!

    stiffness and head heaviness is the main difference. However, the AT900P has a higher "power" limit than the AT500 due to its stiffer shaft. Perhaps the reason why you think they play the same is because you;re unable to fully flex the shaft. Thats just my take on your situation.

    How is it possible to be harder to flex at900p than ns9kx.. its ridiculous, at900p must be extreme extra stiff as rating

    but there's a difference...AT900P is head heavy and NS9kX is headlight. From my experience, if i play more wrist than arm, NS9kX > AT900P but if More arm than wrist, AT900P > NS9kX..this is in terms of power.
