    Hi all,

    I loved my AT700, it was awesome. But one day it broke...
    And then I thought of trying AT900P.
    Broke that one too, and never got really used to it...

    So at the moment i am searching for a new racket which would feel like the old AT700.
    It got so nice smashes with it, and also the feeling was great..

    So any ideas what would be closest to it?

    I could Victor rackets with a nice price, so if any of them is close to AT700, please tell :)

    But it really does not matter what the brand is, just that i got the same feeling again that i had with my old AT700, 'cause at the moment i am feeling lost :)

    Thank you all in advance for answers :)

    Li-Ning N90 would be a nice one, or at least I think so :)
    But the price is terrible...

    I have read that the so called new AT700 doesn't feel the same as the old one.
    Any ideas what is the difference between them?

    So I might go for the Victor SW35.
    I hope i get to test it next week.

    Or give a new chance for AT900P?

    We'll see :)

    It's a little less stiff and headheavy compare to the 1st gen. IMO

    there was a picture from someone who cut his old AT700 and new AT700 just to see the difference.
    the old AT700 has 3 titanium wire on the shaft, while new AT700 has 2 only.

    despite the differences, the racket closest to the old AT700 is still the new AT700.
