    Hi guys im looking for a new racquet , i am playing with a metallix 10000 for 3 years so i would like to change . Im playing the most part of the time in single . My game is based on net shot and accuracy . I have a natural power . So i would like to have a racquet which provide me accuracy control and i don't want to lost my net skills ;) ( Im top 50 of my country so my technic is well :) )

    I hesitate between an Arc 10 , Zlslash AT900T and Nanospeed 9900

    which racquet you advice me ? Thx for your contribution ( Im not english so if my english isn't well told me ;) )

    You can buy both the Z Slash and the Arc10 and sell the one you don't like. That's the best way to go about things IMO.

    I would either get the Arc 10 as a first choice.

    For you: AT900P or Voltric 80 ;) (if you only want Yonex). I would try to borrow one at a tournament first though ...

    wow.. how much did you spend for all three?
    and do not forget we have a thread to identify if you racket real or not: (just in case)
    http://www.badmintoncentral.com/for...No-eBay-Enquiries)-Read-Post-1-First!/page740

    yup, Panda Power Trinity Pro

    the problem with professional players is, they will use any brand as long as those brand sponsor them
    so do not expect small company like Panda Power can sponsor professional player

    many people satisfy with Panda Power especially when you know that it is cheaper, but with same or better quality than the leading brand

    Balanced and controlled rackets I can think of immediately are the Arc 10, Arc 7, N50, Trinity 2. Of course the T2 isn't easily available anymore so perhaps you should either get the TPro or just go for another racket - the Arcsabers are pretty popular, the 7 more so than the 10, as they're both balanced and can thus be played in doubles and singles without disadvantages in any discipline. The 7 is a bit more flexible, which makes it easier to get some power out of it, but at your level of play, that shouldn't be a problem.
    The N50 is amongst my favorite rackets right now, as it's very controlled, but still powerful. As I haven't tried the Arc 10 or 7, I can't compare them, but I've read the Arc10 is pretty similar, the N50 being a bit more flexible and powerful. Is there perhaps a shop that would send you the Yonex rackets for testing purposes?
    Also, a bit of advice, don't limit yourself to rackets of one company just because you're a fan. I'm very happy with Li Ning & Panda Power, but I cant play with Yonex rackets. So, try to test different rackets, perhaps ask some ppl at tournaments to have a few swings with their rackets....normally, at bigger tournaments (with Pros involved), there are shops which will let you try their rackets for a bit...
    Anyway, try different rackets from different companies.
    There's a good chance nothing will immediately feel just perfect as you're adjusted to your old racket and will need to get used to the different feel of other rackets, so don't be disappointed if that happens. If you get a new racket, give it some time - the bigger the differences, the more time you'll need to adapt. I had to force myself to use the Panda Power rackets for about 6-8 hours before I could play without vibrations on lifts& clears under pressure....

    Thx for your contribution i've try the Arc 7 but don't have good feeling too with this racquet . pretty classic ... I never try Li ning and Panda because it's unusual . the Arc 10 look like a Zslash ? some review of an advanced player with a Panda ? thx ;)
