    Hi,
    I want to find a new racket that will help me improve my game. I'm an aggressive type of player (smash whenever I can) and I'm currently using Yonex MP99, but I think that my smash is a little too slow. So I want to find a new racket that will help me increase the speed of my smash. I'm thinking about Yonex AT700 LTD and MP100 (both rackets are available at badmintonshoponline.us). I once tried AT700 LTD from my friend, and I really like it. My question is, is MP100 really different from MP99? Which one perform better at smashing?
    Thanks for your answer.

    Those rackets are pretty old designs.. From current racket you should look to Li Ning N90-II, Victor Sw35 or BS10 or L-Ning N55 or N55-II. from YY Arc-10 is probably still their best singles racket, but frankly YY has made better doubles-rackets (NS9900) than singles rackets lately..

    For aggressive / offensive play I would suggest:
    1. Yonex Armotec 900 Power / 700 LTD
    2. Yonex Titanium 10 1st or 2nd Gen
    3. Victor Super Wave 35
    4. Victor Brave Sword 10
    5. Apacs Lethal 70
    6. Mizuno Tetra Cross 70
    7. SOTX Woven 7

    Hi,
    Personally, I think the following rackets are good for Aggressive play:

    (1) MP 100, 2U model.
    (2) Panda Ultra 1st edition.
    (3) Victor Superwaves 35.
    (4) Yonex AT 700, 3U IP model.
    (5) SOTX Woven 11, 1st version.

    Thanks.

    Like me :D

    An Arcsaber10 with Athlete tape on the head of the racket, Arcsaber is an overall performance racket, made for power and control, plus the headyheaviness by the tape, its gonna be monster.
