    I mainly use a AT800Off 3U (BG 88Ti) and I also own a AT900P 3U (Nano95). I think you will find it more easy to switch to the AT900P. AT900P feels lighter and faster than the AT800Off but I find the AT800Off more powerfull.

    Personally I find the AT900P superior to AT800OFF in all aspects. defence, control, speed, raw-power...

    Wow, just.. wow.
    Just finished my first training session with the AT 900 T, and all I can really mutter out right now is.. Wow!

    This is by far the best racket for me i have ever tried! I am so glad i went with my gutfeeling after reading Ants review (Thanks ants!).

    The controll, the defense, is just extreme.
    I didnt really feel i lost a whole lot of power compared to other more power oriented rackets, might just be me though.

    But again, wow, can't wait to play more tomorrow! :)

    i havent tried the 900P yet but own a 800of. What make the 900P better in control and defence better, is it a bit head lighter than 80of?

    AT800-DE is already more powerful than ns8000. I think AT900-T will be better than AT800-DE for sure.

    i have an ns8k and i am a heavily attacking player but do like to control alot. looking for a 2nd racket since my cab30ms broke. AT900-T looks like a good choice.

    You won't be disappointed with the AT900-T, it's fast and light but still have some decent power.

    crikey, i'm still undecided on which one to choose.... both are terribly nice racquets - slightly better than my 700s - but having played with it for so long, selling the T "brand new" will be a loss (for me!!)... might just have to get 2...

    The 900P feels (is) head lighter than the 800Off. You'll already be faster (also for defence). And I find the 900P more forgiving than the 800Off.

    Finally!

    http://www.directsports-eshop.co.uk/

    AT900 is now available for the princely sum of £119.99.

    Don't be fooled when they say it weighs 89g... they're definitely 4UG4 (I emailed them to confirm).

    Oh, and Yonex UK are finally listing all the new stuff on their website, including the new colour scheme on the NS7000.

    I bet you will love the racket. Have been using the AT900P for quite some time and really love using it. I have stop using the AT700. Still using my WOVEN 11 sometimes, but... well... most of the time is AT900P.

    Welcome to the AT900P club! :D

    Thanks.

    :D i had tried the racquet the weekend before and from the first shot i could tell that i would like the racquet. immense power and net and touch play is not too bad. i also have an at700 coming in the post but im guessing i will be using the at900p mostly. can't wait!
