    Hi everyone,


    I know there are several threads around this topic but the issue is that they are no longer relevant (too old).
    At the moment i'm playing with AT700 1st gen *2 and AT700 2nd gen as spare. But I'm afraid one of my AT700 is going to break anytime soon (weird sound on the handle, like the shaft is ungluing.... has it happened to you ? the shaft stays in place but there's this one sound and it annoys me.)

    Nowadays, what would be the closest racket to the AT700 OC ?

    Thanks ! :)

    Personally, I found that the Apacs Tantrum 300 was a satisfying replacement a couple years ago. I haven't tried a lot of racquets though, only around 7 or 8 models in the past few years. I'm still using the T300 nowadays and still pretty satisfied. Great all-around frame for me.

    Sadly, n90 1st gen doesn't sell here anymore and apacs doesn't sell in France either :(

    I don't think it's a good idea, i once tried a z-force 2, not only it is head heavier but also it is extra stiff whereas AT700OC has a quite flexible shaft

    Hello, i update the topic as im going to sell my AT700.
    I am still looking for replacements for my rackets and i do not wish to spend €€€ even if i'd love to play with the n90. But atm there are loads of sales so i'd like you to advise me.
    I'd like advices on lining n55-II, n9, n7 and babolat x-feel blast metricflex R

    Thank you :)

    In my really humble opinion, N90 first shaft is much stiff than the At 700 second Gen. At 700 is more head heavy than N90. Rather go for model oor brand, specification in the same model varies. The thing is get a racket that u feel comfortable with the swing and whipping of the racket. Personally I have a bought 4 dozens different models from a few brands. It is better to swing a dry racket personally to know the suitability rather than asking opinions. The arm power and swing power varies from player to player. Thus other people poison may be my best medicine.

    There is no victor retailers in France. Well actually there is only one but he is not a friendly and his store has no choices and rackets are over expensive.

    Actually i bought a z speed, not quite the same thing haha
