    Doubles or singles and your question seems very general since people have different choices in terms what gives them power and control. If you have a previous racket, list it's pros and cons and maybe we can work from there.

    alright then i play single my previous racquet is Nano sparc 35 the pros are that this racquet give me a lot of technique and the control is sweet but when it comes to smash i dont see the power i want im thinking about getting the Armotec 900 technique is it a good choice or you got something better?

    I would suggest an AT900P. The AT900T swings faster then the P but for singles it's better to have that extra power. Another couple of rackets to consider is the Arc10 which is not as headheavy as the AT900P but is good for all around play.

    I know drew is gonna post something just before me LOL

    your description is basically asking for a perfect racket...power+, control+, light, cheap.
    I would suggest playing a bit longer until you found your strength, that way you can better utilize the racket's strength.
    Also, asking your coach/playing partners would be a good source of advice. Or just ask them if they can lend you their rackets for testing.

    Help me out What07 haha
    Well The Armotec 900 Technique is a head heavy racket it is lighter than the Arcsaber 10 (4U)
    The Arcsaber 10 is an even balanced racket and is good for control, this racket is slightly heavier (3U)

    so the Armotec is better for strenght because of its head being more heavy then the arcsaber 10?

    The AT900T can come in both 3U and 4U. You don't need a 4U AT900T for singles tho.

    If you were to compare both AT900T and Arc10 both 3U, the AT900T would feel more headheavy compare to the even balance - slightly headheavy Arc 10. Both rackets are almost on par with swing speed because the AT900T has sorta an aero frame to compensate for it's heavyhead.

    If you were to just pick any racket, I would pick the Arc10.

    Well I would say the Arcsaber 10 is better for strength because the frame is slim and cuts through the air well

    That's the Zslash :p, the arc 10 isn't as slim as the zslash.

    I know but the Arcsaber 10 still has a slim frame it might not be as slim as the Z Slash but you get the point <
