    hi, guys
    i am buying 2 racket
    1. arcsaber 10
    2. AT 900P or AT 700

    therefore, i cant decide btw 900p or 700. as my fren said 700 is very fragile and he had actually crack it.

    awaiting for your comments.

    Perhaps you may want to share what type of player you are (attacking, defensive, etc) and whether you spend more time on single or doubles. With that information, I believe many BC members can give their two-cent to help you decide.

    Generally both AT900P and AT700 are stiff-shaft head-heavy racket with massive smashing power - though I personally prefer AT900P over AT700 (assuming you are talking about the new color version) due to its quickness to manuver compared to AT700.

    Concerning the durability of AT700, I don't think AT700 is more fragile compared to the rest of high-end Yonex series. All Yonex high-end rackets are equally fragile - especially if clash with other racket during doubles game. Extremely high tension also usually is one of the causes of cracking frame. My point is you should probably choose Yonex racket according to its performance & suitability to your game rather than durability

    Hmm I think you should stick with 1 type of racket, switching in between diff rackets will screw up your timing for the day. I'd say AT900P for powerplay suitable for both singles and doubles.

    AT700 is heavier Slightly noticible dead heavier than the AT900P. It demands more effort to move fast/refend with AT700. The AT900P have nearly just as great of power but easy to move around with. AT900P is more suitable for doubles than AT700 even though both are great in singles.
    AT700 ultimately offers more power than AT900P in slight sacrifice of defence; but overall, both rackets are more identical with each other than any other rackets.

    It will be a deadly weapon if you can yield it nicely.You need a strong hand/strenght to use it pretty well.You need to get use to your racket in few session...
