    When u added an additional overgrip,that should put u around 900..that's should fit most of the beginner-intermediate players.But if u r intermediate,then u can reduce the length overgrip or not using it n make it to
    the 900.It'll feel much harder to control n uncomfy,but for the price u paid,it'll make ur smashes harder(heavier head).So,it's all depends on ur need.I supposed if u use T,then u want a better comfort n control.Bcos if u're looking for a harder smash,then u're supposed to use the P,which its shaft is stiffer.

    Damn..after few modifications on the grip..this AT900T suddenly turn out as a beast..far more powerful than before.Before,i just add an overgrip,without doing anything to the original grip.The rasult was lazy,no power at smashing,clears r preety effortless though.Overall,this racket was all round,except for the power!Many of ppl might feel this as well.But things changed after i did some modifications,advised by some ppl in this forum.I took off the original grip plastic,and i change my overgrip to a thinner one..n the result was AMAZING!Smashes r much much harder n clears r much easier.A full court clears yet fast r effortless.You guys should try it as well.

    intended on At900T, now, concluded on At900P.......:D
    from your previous racket, indeed that you need more time to suit it.

    Yes, I ordered for AT900T but they called me and told that they had no stock. So, I just picked up da AT900P. BTW, I love it. The feel, the power are just amazing. :p. Just play once with new racket. Need more time to suit since AT900P and NS8k are totally different. :).

    u wanna do it like LD?took off everything n just apply a towel grip over?hehe..that'd be deadly,but the question is would u feel comfy with it?
    The point is,reduce the thickness if it's too thick n add some more to make it comfy..as long as it's not reducing the head heavy character of a racket。It depends on the player..

    When u buy an overgrip or a replacement grip,they usually come in a longer length than what u might need.So,in order to reduce the thickness of any grip,in ur case towel grip,just apply a single layer,from the bottom to the top,n cut the rest.About the ori black grip,that depends.They usually came stapled already.If u wanna took them off,then u have to remove the stap first.Just remember,u dont wanna have ur grip too thin,n too thick..since it'll affect ur game.Just have what u need.

    Pay enough attention then u'll see the difference.Wonder why he did that?He didnt even wrap the whole grip,just some part where he usually hold the racket on.
