    Hello guys I just bought the armortec 900 power LCW edition. Is it as good as the regular edition because I've heard it is a bit heavier, that shouldn't matter though, right?

    Secondly, The racket is strung at 24lbs with BG-80. I plan to play with Mavis 350's, would this be ok?

    Last but not least, how much time will it take me to adjust to it? I am an intermediate player that was using a low-end black knight racket (SPX-88)

    TYVM!

    i believe the AT900P and the LCW edition should be exactly the same except the paint scheme, but then again no two racket is "exactly" the same even if it's the same model. second, i don't think it would be a problem to use your racket with plastic shuttles, i don't know why it wouldn't be ok? third, the amount of time for you to get adjust to depends on your ability to adjust, so you can take as long as you want or as short as your arm requires! :)

    Went to play a game yesterday, My Bg-80 broke 20 minutes in the game. Went to the stringer and he put me some BG-65 @ 22lbs. It didn't break thus far

    Ewwww :p

    I sometimes played plastics, not as frequently tho and BG-80 at 26lbs or BG-66 at 26lbs never broke on me so far. Only when playing feathers if I mishit real bad then they break.

    Well did you tried various strings and tension yet? If not after a couple months with bg-65 (you probably won't break it) Try BG-65 at 30lbs and see if you notice a difference. ;)

    yes, it may damage if you don't modify the grommets with the new style muscle power continuous 6 strip.
