    Better usually means you're trying to choose between two rackets....

    If you want racket recommendations you need to list:

    your playing style
    singles or doubles
    budget
    manufacturer preferences

    My old rackets are ArcSaber 10 and MusclePower 45 . I used those rackets for singles and doubles. Can you tell me what kind of racket for single and double please?

    Hey HK-MAN,
    everyone would have different answers to your question. Please be more specific. The most important is what do you want to get from your racket. There tons of racket out there, with all different specs and usefulness.

    Personally, i think at the moment NS9900 is the best racket around. LN N90ii is also very2 good racket. But thats just me.

    Cheers.

    If you're low on budget, but looking for a pretty solid performance, you're looking for APACS.

    If you got the money, NS9900 is a very good choice. (OVER 9000) This racket provides amazing defence.

    If you're looking for offensive ones, head heavier ones like Armortec would be the choices.

    You like to smash often? Or do you prefer net shots and drop shots?

    Sorry, I'm looking for great racket with single and double badminton. I don't want to spend money different rackets. I want one racket for using single and double badminton not separate rackets like one racket for single and other racket for double. I prefer all together in one racket.

    I'm not sure where can I find good racket for defense and attack.

    I like to smash, drop shot, backhand and drive shot.

    NS9900 is great racket? what is difference between NS9900 and Arc 7?

    you can check dinkalot's review.
    thats the easiest and fastest way without googling for each and every racquet.
    good luck

    In my opinion the AT 900 Technique is on of the best rackets around but that's just me......I use it for singles mainly but when i play a doubles games this racket can sure pack a punch.

    to me NS9900 and Arc 7 are more suited for doubles. I would say AT900P, AT900T, Arc10, Arc8DX, MP99, MP100, Ti10 are all good enough for both single and doubles

    Arc 7 is definitely a doubles racket, its pretty quick and won't smash much so you wouldn't want it for constant smashing in singles. The AT900T would be mainly just doubles too though, i would get maybe a bit more power but if unless you are an explosive swinger then you won't generate enough power out of the stiff shaft and heavy head.

    definitely if you have an explosive swing, power would not be an issue...also for a head heavy racket defending isn't a problem

    I think the Yonex's new Arcsable 8DX seems to fix your requirement for a racket that is both good at attacking and defending.

    AT900T need to really swing to get the power.. IT is one of my best racquet, until i try RSL laser 9900. Laser 9900 can work like AT900T the extra i get from Laser 9900 is 2gram lighter and tapper technology. The tapper technology enable the shaft to bend easier than AT900T. Becoz of this technology, this racquet creates extra ummph, power and steeper during smashes, net kill and clears.

    RSL laser 9900 is my no. 1 racquet follow by AT900T and lastly SW35.

    Fyi, laser 9900 only RM260 compare to AT900T RM630.

    i have both AT900T and NS9900. both are great rackets. it all depends on whether you are more comfortable with light head or heavier head.

    ..absolutely Yonex Arcsaber 5 !!! With its extra weight at the head frame, same medium flex and having all that extra advantage in Arcsaber 7, it would be the right & perfect balance of Arcsaber racket series..!!!

    :)
