Hi All, I need some advise. I plan to buy new racket. My current racket : Usually, I play with AT700(new) as my main racket. I also have FP Warriors 7 and Nanospeed 5000. I love play with head heavy racket. But it makes me very exhausted. I only play 2 or 3 games with AT700, and then I switch to Warriors7 or NS 5000. I modify the NS 5000, I put some tape on it. i've tried Ti 10 III. Its a good racket, but too stiff for me. Type of Play : Intermidiate player. I pay twice a week. I play Double. As a back man, I love to smash and crosscourt drop. As a front mant, I do drop and crosscourt net. I can't do any deception. So, I'm looking for a head heavy racket with good Maneuverability. My candidates are Li Ning N 50, N 50 II, Yonex AT900T.I'm open to another brand and type Any suggetion?
Pretty much the same preferences as myself, love head-heavy racket but easily get tired after 3-4 games. I play with Kumpoo Powershot 2300Hexagon (Thai national team use it) then after get tired switch to LiNing N-50 (personal opinion about N-50: slightly less head-heavy, med-stiff, i could easily hit further the back line with exhausted wrist, good double racket, defense is superb with fast swing, but i found my head-heavy racket still produce the stronger smashes compare to N-50)
apacs lethal 70, preferred it over my at700 due to it being a bit less head heavy. Can swing and smash all day
@Dukke88 : Can you compare AT 900 T with Ti10III? @arfandy : Can you compare N 50 shaft flexibility with another racket? How flexible if compared with Arc7 , NS 5000 or another Yonex med stiff? @kingzz : Its really hard to find high end Apacs here
N50 gen I and II and AT900T are also as stiff as Ti-10(III) If not mistaken N50 is stiff while II is extra stiff.
AT900T would be ideal - head heavy (but not too much) and the frame cuts the air very nicely. Not as tiring as the 900P but gives 90% of the power.
it is quite stiff, however I don't find the NS9900 that stiff SW35 is probably stiffer than AT900t but not too much more. Maybe you should consider the N70
SW35 is arguably the best smasher's racket, but it's not exactly easy to move or aerodynamic; the small frame seemed to have been designed for sheer punch. It's the stiffest Victor by far, but comparing that stiffness with the NS9900's is very difficult because there's a 20+ mm difference in balance points.
I thought it was quite manueverable, much easier than AT700, a great racket for smashing. it is hard to compare stiffness, but I would say that it is slightly less stiff than 9900. If you can try it out (SW35) then you can see first hand.
I only demo'ed N50 for a couple of games, so I cannot give an analysis. It's roughly even balance and mid stiff. The SW35 is a great attacking racquet, but if Fu Haifeng or some hard-smashers smashes at you, you don't want to be/regret holding a SW35. Ditto for AT700. You want to be holding a Ti-10 or a 4U AT900T...
