Would like to hear review of these 2 rackets if anyone have tried them. All I know is the 8000 being stiffer and have more swordy frame than the 9000, but the price is just the same. I might want to buy the 8000 one but want to know another user's experience first. Thanks in advance.
Played with ars 9000c. The shaft feels soft and with apparent torsion feel when strung with high tension (26lb). Didnt like the feel so perhaps it is more suited for beginner with softer string bed.
Thanks for the review bro! Do you think using harder string (like BG80) will help with the feel? Because I myself like to use harder string for softer / flexier rakcet.
IMO Auraspeed series is not good for durability. Even high end like 100x and 90k still bad for durability. Both of 8000 and 9000 have free core.
You know what? My 90k is very durable, already use it for 2 years with so many clash and fatal clash and still kicking... Some 100x has durability issue, but thanks god my 100x is okay even after a big clash..
Would love to hear your review of the Jetspeed T1 free core! How does it compare to other rackets you've used?
My 100X lasted me 4 nights, 1.5 hours a night. I was in a drive battle in doubles, one went a little wide, I swung hard on my forehand, hit a side string. String didn't break, racket completely broke at 4 o'clock. $300 racket+tax + $30 stringing, victor would not replace. Although I liked the feel of it. I can't risk another $350 money loss on a single mishit. I've heard other stories like mine too.
