    Hi! Can you recommend me some similar head-heavy yonex rackets to AT900P? I need offensive racket for singles, with enough power. Is AT900T much different to AT900P in power ? What about Arc8dx or AT700? Thank you.

    Are you just looking for Yonex or open to other names?

    The AT900s i've tried feel nearer even than a lot of head heavy rackets. Might want to go with something like Carlton Elites (i use for singles), APACS Lethal 70, Panda Power T2 and maybe even Victor Bravesword 10/11

    The AT700 is extra stiff and 5g heavier than the AT900s

    I'm looking only for Yonex. I have bought Arc7 last week, it's good racket, but it has large lack of power.. So I go change it for other, more offensive head-heavy, model from yonex next week..

    fyi to me the Yonex Armortec 900 Power is pretty heavy on the racquet head if you want something similar maybe MP, Muscle Power?

    Which side of the AT900P are you looking to replicate, the stiffness or how head heavy it is?

    The 700 would be the only other designed head heavy racket that would really suit. Its Extra stiff though, though there is the Armortec Tour which is flexible. Shame Yonex is your only go to as other brands do some which would meet your spec. The 700 would be one to consider maybe even the Arc 10

    imo anything suits the way you play if you are a singles player then a head-heavy is alright but for doubles its far too slow, slow for inter-changing grips and racquet face

    I have not budget, I can get any of arcsabers, nanospeeds or armortecs.. Only Yonex, because I bought Arc7 which I can change only for other yonex model, in Yonex shop.

    Oh ok so if you are just returning it for another then go with the AT700. Its a little stiffer though. If not go with the Arc 10. Even balance but packs a punch.

    Yes, just returning, and all these have same price..

    Please can you tell me what is the difference between AT700/AT900P/Arc10/Arc8dx ? Why I shouldn't go into AT900P?

    Try go to the store and have a feel of the racquet to see if its suitable for you because it took me like 6 months to tap into Arc10's power
