    They are nice rackets. Most popular is Storm Pro. I'm selling them good in Toronto. PRO850 is more like offensive racket. Stiff shaft, 3U HM graphite, with BG80 or BG85 .. it is the perfect weapon for me. It is not as stiff as MP99 or nanospeed 8K. That's how I like it. Will have Nanolite and Nanotec comming next week or so. Price for the PRO850 strung with BG80/85 is CAD$90.00 including shipping..and tax.

    I have Read Many reviews about ASTEC. My preference for rackets are stiff shaft. I was hoping the NanoLight series would have stiff shafts but u say RCF is the most flexible of all? Could you please let me know which racket of ASTEC has the most stiff shaft? Any hopes the NanoTec shafts are stiff? because i'm use to a Nanospeed 8k and RSL 6900 both stiff.

    Closest one is PRO850 in terms of Stiffness. I play with 6900 before .. it is a tapered shaft very similar to Storm Pro. But I think NS8K is stiffer than 6900. RCF is regular control flex that is very similar to medium. If you like the 6900, then PRO850 won't let you down.. .

    Pro850 vs Pro800

    Sorry guys,

    I have not got a hand on Pro800. I would guess PRO850 is the new model with different color scheme. I will check with it later ..
