Lucky I have used 5 racquets before, so here is my list. 1) Nanospeed 9000 type X = the best smashing racquet I ever use...makes u feel like Fu Haifeng whenever u smash (wonder if Fu will break his own record of 206 mph if he switch to NS 9000X) 2) Gosen Roots Aermet 2700 = another great smashing racquet, slightly head heavy that generates a power punch 3) Carbonex 21 SP = old trusty classic racquet, develops strong wrist for more lighter racquet, still accurate as hell. 4) Protech max nano 8800 = nice smashing racquet, too much vibration though gives one tennis elbow. 5) Ti-10 SP = Fu Haifeng's main racquet = sonic boom smash
my ns-9000x surely not the best smash racket i ever used, my carb 20 tour sp still has better power than X. but it's just my opinion.
I'm not sure this list will last forever - otherwise no badminton manufacturer will ever survive! Maybe this time next year we all need to update our lists again! Nevertheless, here is my current top 5: (in order of preference) 1. AT900T 2. SOTX Woven 12A 3. SOTX Woven 8A 4. AT800DEF 5. MP88
1. ISO TOUR-800 (Yonex) - well balance with slight head heavy. Classic! 2. AT-700 (old color) (Yonex) - a good attack racket and good to work with 3. MP-99 (Yonex) - its also good racket and will become a classic. 4. NANO 1100 (Kumpoo) - my new favorite! light and fast at push drive game. 5. CAB20 (Yonex) - another classic and well balance oval head racket!
The ever changing list - Mizuno Tetracross 700 - Yonex Armortec 900 P - SOTX Diamond Fighter 900 - Yonex Nanospeed 8000 - Mizuno GP-10 /Twobeer

1) Armortec 700 3U- power + control = awesome 2) Armortec 500 3U- less power, but faster than the 700. Broken though... 3) Muscle Power 99 3U- control is great. Power is good too, but AT is better 4) Ti 3 2U- good at control and power, but not the best. Aero- shaped head is good for defense though.

You've finally avoided overswinging with your NS9000Xs? I'm just guessing, seeing as they're your go to racquets now.
