Replacing My TI500, At 800/ MP99?

[charzord]

Broke my racket, trying to replace it with a yonex one. I use my TISP SX as a backup, but I can't handle the head heaviness of it. I am not particularaly strong, and I just cant play with it. My TI500 was............sort of even balanced. I have narrowed down my choices to AT800 DE or MP 99. I play mix for my school. So the question is, any reccomendations? Price is not a factor.

And yes, I searched all over, but I cant find much info regarding swing speed of rackets.

Thanks in advance!

I guess it depends on the type of player that you are. I have used both myself and I like the AT800 a bit better. While the MP99 is generally pretty good overall, I like the slight head heaviness of the AT800 better. In addition, this might be only me, I find that MP99 a bit fragile as I had broke 3 MP99 in the course of about 4 months last year...since I've switched to AT800, I've yet to break one. In case you're wondering, I broke one on racquet clash and the other two on regular play...I sent the two racquets back to Yonex and got warranty for them, sold them, and in turn replaced them with AT800.

BTW, are you interested in getting the AT800-DE? If so, I have a spare one and would be willing to let it go. It's a CD version, 3U, G4 grip size strung with BG65-Power, white strings @ 22/24 pounds. You can email me at wukenne@hotmail.com if you're interested. I would like around 230 for the racquet as it's pretty much brand new and only had it for 3 months.
