    Hey guys, some help would be much appreciated!! :D

    I'm looking to buy a perfect Yonex racket for myself; money is not a concern.

    I consider myself an intermediate player and am quite serious about it (joined my school's team).

    I mostly play doubles and consider myself an all-round player...that's to say I do an 'equal' array of smashes, net drops, clears, etc. during a game.

    I'd like a racket that has power, durability, head-heavy and light (tell me if these are impossible demands for a single racket!! If so, would you mind listing rackets that fall closest to these preferences, thanks!).

    I'm looking at the Nanospeed 9900 and Armortec 900 as possibilities...what do ya'll think?

    Thanks a lot in advance guys!!

    A 4U AT900P would fit your bill perfectly.

    However, durability of any racket is only good if you only play singles... it's the racket clashes that are the killer in doubles.

    You can also choose the yonex nanospeed 9900 as that racket is head light and was used by the number one lee chong wei but now he uses the armotec 900 power

    he only used the NS9900, once, and that was just for publicity, he switched back to the AT900p safter about a week.

    Well when I say once, I mean for about 1-2 matches.

    A good recomendation would be a Victor BS10, but as you seem to insist on Yonex you probably should try a AT900p/t

    if you have strong arm , go for AT900P,
    if your arm is moderate, opt for BS10.
