Any recommendations for a more offensive player?

So I had an Armortec 600, but it broke. :crying:
Now I'm in search for another racket.
Any ideas?

Here are my preferred specs:
Weight: 4U
Flex: anything but flexible and extra stiff
Head heavy (or even balance)

Armotec 900 Power
Voltric 80
Arcsaber 10 (3U)
Arcsaber Z Slash (3U)

Why not simply Voltric 70 ... AT600 has the same aero frame shape as AT900T as well

Well, I wanted to try out different rackets since I've never used anything but Yonex. I was looking at these three:

Or these, just down the street from you...

if you liked your at600, then stick with what you know from yonex

the voltric line is designed to replace the at line,
so vt70 or vt80 would be your best bets, depending on whether you like it slightly head heavy or head heavy.

I've noticed that there are the hard hitters and the fast hitters. Both get a lot of power through different means. So I'm guessing a hard hitter would be better with a head heavy? I've actually not played with many head light rackets.

What's your regular game: singles or doubles? What's your level: intermediate or better?

Mixed doubles.
Intermediate.

For my money, I'd go for a T-Pro ~84g BP ~290-293
The head-heaviness will help you to bend the shaft when you smash, while the stiffness of the shaft will give you control and power for pushes and clears. The price is affordable.
But if you want to spend some more, then of course, you do have many options... if you find a store that will allow you to test-run the racquets, so much the better.
