    strange question

    technically if you get the same "u" number they are the same weight.

    The AT700 may feel heavier as it is stiffer and more head heavy for a given weight class.

    AT700 "feels heavier" due to its shaft length.

    I disagree with you there, the AT900T feels a lot lighter because of it's lighter head

    Wow wow wow Hold on friend

    It is hard to measure which one is head heavier or heavier cause yonex make different racket (different year different spec bro) even for 1 type I got ever got six Old Ti 10 and all of them feel different.

    mine is old at700 SP not as heavy at 900 P JP
    My at 700 2nd gen IP heavier than at 700 old SP
    My at 900T IP is heavier than at 700 SP

    So dont be fool by yonex and make us fighting ok.
    cause yonex racket cannot be standarize even for the same type

    You have just compared completely different rackets 3 times -_-


    And from what I have felt 900T feels lighter due to the frame and aerodynamics. If they are both 3u technically they weigh the same, but one the 700 would probably feel heavier due to the head heaviness

    Agreed. 900T feels lighter than 700.
    Not only 700 is head heavier, 900T has aero frame thus feel lighter.

    I don't think aero frame contributes to the racquet feeling lighter. It only makes a difference when you swing it and the faster swing due to less air resistance maybe the reason it feels lighter.

    That's what I meant.
    the actual weight may be the same, but because you can swing faster you will feel lighter.
    On the other hand, with its head heaviness (at700) you feel heavier.
