    Hi, I am a high county level player, looking at a new racket, i have currently, three Kason TSF 100ti's however they racket is very head light, i am looking for something slightly head heavy to gain more power as i feel i have lost power over the year with the Kason. I have around £80-£90 to spend, i want something smash happy, i have considered the following rackets:

    Yonex Ti-10 Yellow Colour
    MP 100
    Armortec 800OF
    NS7000
    Forza Kevlar 9
    Forza Titanium 24 N-Forze

    Any verdicts on these rackets?

    Hope you can help me in my christmas racket hunt :p

    I don't think you should jump from a head lighted to head heavy. May be a balanced racquet like AT800 DE ?

    or maybe MP99.It will make a balance between your current control style and give you the extra power you desire.

    If you can find an old version Ti-10L 2U (red) I would go with that. It is stiff, aerodynamic, and slightly head-heavy. If you can't find one, I would try getting a MP100 2U. The MP100 is siff, very aerodynamic, and has an even balance. I find the MP100 2U is suitable for both singles and doubles as it has good power without sacrificing too much in defense. Lastly, you might consider a SOTX Woven7. The Woven7 is almost the same as Yonex's old Ti-10L. They have a similar frame profile, balance, and stiffness; however, I find the that Woven7 has less vibration than the Ti-10L. The Woven7 is a really solid racket and much cheaper than a Ti-10L/MP100. Cheers :) .

    Ti-10 (old version) similar to Woven 7? I dont' think so :D. My Woven 7's frame collapsed but not one Ti-10.

    Cheers =D however i keep hearing about this SOTX woven stuff and i have never heard of it!!! Lol, how heavy is the mp100 i have looked at it many times but never been sure whether to get it, same with the ti-10. I have had a mp99 and it is one of the worst rackets i have had. I like stiff rackets also if this helps.

    Thanks :D

    If you like stiff and heavy, then check out the Woven 11 and old Ti-10 in 2U. Also check out the NS9000-X.

    I never said they had the same durability :p . If anything, the Woven7 I used felt more solid and stable than my Ti-10L CP 2U. However, I don't play with 30+ lbs tension... more like 24-26lbs. Cheers :) .

    The Ti-10L 2U is slightly more head-heavy than the MP100 2U, at least, this is the case with mine. It's too bad you don't like the MP99; I heard the MP99 and MP100 are close in playability. Might want to go for a Ti-10L 2U (red) or Woven7 in that case.

    try Nano Speed 8000 but out of your choices i would choose amortec 800 because its headlight so it wont be that much of a change.
