    My favourite is my old Carlton Airblade 500. I also have a Yonex MusclePower 10 which is good enough but doesn't have the sentimental feel to it.

    AT900T for me. Before i got used to it, i didn't like it since it feels heavy than my other racket but now i prefer it more than any of my other rackets probably because of it head heavy feature so it is very good for smash.

    rackets i have ...and why i have them

    yy NS 9.9K, arc 10, 3 x cab 21 (2x 1st gen, 1 x SPECIAL) and Carlton Elite (Oval head)

    been playing for over 20 yrs still experimenting

    atm im using the carlton as my main (i only got the NS9.9K yesterday). the carlton is light yet very powerful due to its oval head shape (smaller but more powerful sweetspot), tension (30lbs) and strings (nice sticky, powerful and durable NBG95). i mainly use this racket for doubles.

    cab 21s: i mainly use for singles, theyre 2U and i like to 'throw' the weight of the racket into clears, smashes and whip type shots. due to its significantly shorter shaft, its very good for control shots (e.g. net shots). the trade off is that i have less reach for certain shots and the smaller sweetspot means theres less room for error..which is good in a way as it forces me to be more accurate and lunge more for other shots which i should anyway.

    arc 10: used this for doubles a while ago..good control due to its 'hold' technology but might sell this anyway.

    NS 9.9K: i've yet to play with this but hopefully i would feel comfortable in using this for both singles and doubles. i chose this because it can be strung to high tension, i hear, unofficially, about 34lbs? it's a 3U, but the heaviest 3U at 89g hence good for power plus its a head light balance for extra whippiness. so for me it seems this racket has a good combo of control (head light balance) and power (weight and new tech material).

    if anyone would like me to i can post my thoughts of the NS9.9K later

    Started with NS100 with BG66 @22 lbs, then when tension is flat, switched over to CAB 30MS @24lbs
    Thinking about getting a NS9000S, maybe next year if the price comes down a little.

    IT is Arc Z all the way for me now. Singles, and doubles. Only uses my other rackets when Arc Z is out for a re-string .
    The smashing power and speed of Arc Z makes you can't let go of it....
