    I want to see a stringing machine doing that! And it's just for easy calculation without using a calculator. It's just a coincident that the Euro converting to Dutch Guilders is about the same.

    For me NS9000X and AT900P have the same amount of power while ARC10 has less power for me.

    Yeap, the amount of power channeled into the bird depends entirely on the user of the rackets.

    If so, there should be one kind of racket, shouldn't be ?

    I have not used Nano 9x yet, but for me, AT900P > Arc saber 10 due to heavy head of AT900P

    hey guys thks for your response, those who have used those rackets, isit through that when playing with ns9000X and arcsaber 10 you cant really feel anything, as in coz of the shock absoorbtion?
    as for the smash speed, im talking bout speed not power, someone ever mentioned that fu haifang would have created a new smash speed record if he switches to arcsaber 10. so could you guys kindly reply again. mayb this time comparing at700 and at900 tecnique.
    thks so much.

    in terms of speed: AT900T>NS9000,ARC10>AT700,AT900P

    The feel isn't due to the racket but the string you use.

    Do you mean smash speed (how fast bird goes) or racquet speed (how fast racquet is)???

    If you mean racquet head speed, Phandrew is right. If you mean smash speed, then it's more like

    AT700>AT900P>NS9000X>AT900T>ARC10 (I'm guessing here a bit)

    hey guys, im refering to smash speed as in how fast the shuttle goes.
    in terms of feel, its due to the shock absorption like cs cap.
    so for those who have used arcsaber 10, could you comment on the feel as some have said that they cant feel anything when they hit the shuttle.
    as for smash speed i would like to find out the speed of the shuttle movement, in compraison with at900power, technique, at700 and ns9000x. does at700 really produce greater smash speed than at900power??
    thks in anticipation of your replies.

    i agree with athlete on the smash speed order.
    as for the feel, i think its more due to the string, although the racket does have effect.
    use BG66 for feel.
    but yes, racket has a small part, and ARC10 has great feel, along with 9kx

    @athelete1234
    no need guess not even a bit, you're absolutely right :D
    @stjsx
    your answer has been answered by @athelete and @skunk but i find Arc 10 is more precise in smash placing and also very sharp, even the power isnt as great as other it still can kill and make point :D
