Bought Arc 10, two of them recently. I know this an all round racket but I only play doubles and need a bit of power for my smashes. Thinking of swaping one of Arc 10, with At900 power. What do you guys think?
Yes for me definitely , it depends on your technique but at a higher level the AT900P have more punch than the Arc10. However for less serious players ,they can generate more power with the Arc10 .It is all about the racket weight and the balance , aerodynamic also important in the AT900P For doubles , get the AT900P for any level , it is a quicker racket all round
Both racket are very good in delivering smashes and also maneuverable, where the Arc 10 is more maneuverable than AT 900P while the AT 900P delivers more punch than the Arc10.......but then, this is just what i feel about this high end rackets from Yonex according to my level, technique and style of playing.
I don't really agree with this statement. Sure yes, the AT900P > ARC10 in terms of power but it is definitely not quicker. The ARC10 is powerful enough in my opinion.
In my opinion, I like the AT 900p for smashing over arc 10. The intense hold on the arc 10 off-balance the strength of my raw forehand smash. I find myself in obtain stronger smashes are by practicing and weight lifting, and its the feel of the racquet's that compliments my smash strength. Which why I choose AT 900 p because I feel that I transmit more power from my body to the racket in transition than arc 10. In contrast, I find other people who have elbow or arm problems for, just one of many example, finds the arc 10 to be better for their taste. But who knows, it comes down to the feel of the racquet to the user.
Thanks guys for your comments. So it seems safe to swap one of my Arc 10 to AT900P, for that extra power for smashing, in the ruthless game of men's doubles, where smashing is the main weapon to use against your 'enemies'
i say 99k is good for doubles too. but to your problem i say get more use to ARC10 i remember when i thought it didnt gave me enough punch after like a few whiles i got use to it and suddenly getting much better result, more than ever, smash is more direct and power is wonderful, not to get me wrong, AT900P 'is' more powerful, but ARC10 has a better overall.
A while ago, I would have probably agreed with you, but I don't like head light rackets anymore. It's a great doubles racket, but I prefer my SW35 for singles and doubles.
Haha same here. I used to love my first owned racket which was NS 9000 x on string tension of 24-26. But now I hate Yonex period. None of their rackets support specifically 28 lbs of bg 85 strings and lasts more than a couple months. Yeah maybe I'm using it to smash it the wrong way but who can perfectly do that straight on per 100 > hits per time on the courts? Even using it to clear with full strength to test it out, the frame cracks in two. And which by the way... I did break my Yonex NS 9k again aha right after I got a new one from the Yonex factory as insurance and put 28 lbs of string tension.
It must be your stringer...I would think that a lot of us have this level of tension on their Yonex rackets and have not had any problems.
ARCSSABER !!!! 10!!!!!!! Great Mixture Of Power and Control !, it has acceptional Power already ( good enough to hit winners ), and Great control, and really fast and quick manuever
No doubt NS9000 is the most fragile racket i know (i broke one too, and heard many2 stories about it). But NS9900 is different, it may not be as durable as others, i never seen TBH or KKK break the racket even with 32-30lbs.
Don't think you can compare the rackets of the pros to the ones you get in shops, they're quiet a bit stronger, unless for some weird reason the NS9900 are the same for pros and shops...
Not trying to compare them at all, just trying point out that NS9900 dont have durability associated with NS9000.
