    The STB-9080 looks like it could pack some power, its 2grams heavier than the Woven 11 and 100% woven, apart from that the specs are nearly the same.

    You can string this racket up to 35LBS

    Which version of Super Nano you referring to ? The series has a wide range and different models has different characteristics.

    All the other models you list down are offensive racquet but unless you have excellent technique and strong wrist/arm, the X2 Gold will be very difficult to use. The Victor SW31 is pretty easy to generate power, hits will also feel good as it has a square blocky head which confers a solid feel.

    I'm referring to the one with no number.:D

    I'm choosing among those 4 rackets and IMHO, I can handle them as I find it easy to use a 130g kason training racket for regular play.

    My other option is to get those 115g FORZA T.R. rackets.

    Hey thnks for the quick reply. :D:D:D

    Wow ! If you can handle a training racquet easily, any of those four wouldn't be an issue for you.

    This is going to get me into trouble...

    My hardest smash was off a Yonex New Prince 2 strung at 28lbs on BG70 (or something like that). That was in 1989. The smash came off the racket so fast everyone was surprised. Never repeated.

    The more consistent hard smashes are off my friend's Carlton Aerogear something, and a 2 piece Cab15. My current Cab30 (with BG80 @25lbs) comes at a close 3rd.

    I think this has something to do with age/technique/footwork more than the racket :p.

    I have a NS9000X 2UG5 and it's great for smashing and control. The racquet is strung with Nanogy 95 @ 25lbs

    SOTX W11 IMO is the best racket for smashing.

    Yonex MP-100, AT700 and the new AT900P are all for hard hitters.

    However, the most important thing is who is the one using them.

    at 700 all the way. It's one of the cheaper yonex racquets and is super head heavy, perfect for smashing

    My Strongest List as follow:-
    All using BG80 strung at 26lbs.

    Rank 1
    ARC10... fast & BIG BANG SMASH.. Good feel ..
    and after continuous smashing it would not cos arm to be tired or numb (ultraPEF shock absorption)

    Rank 2
    NS9x .. Smash is VERY fast & accurate but sound quality not that good also hand get shaky as u need to generate a very very fast swing to get the power smash
    (advise: beginners pls dont swing to hard as the racket might end up ON you :p )

    Rank3
    AT900P.. Smash is hard.. but after continuous smashes.. arm gets tired quickly..
