I use a few different rackets depending on the game. I usually use Yonex Armotec Power 900 for doubles (smashes are just awesome), a Karakal SL70 for mixed and a Yonex NS9900 for singles.

I use the Karakal for mixed as I find if I use a heavy head racket for mixed my arm gets too sore from driving the shuttle. Also I find the light racket lets me change racket direction much faster allowing me to intercpet the shuttle better. 

For doubles I usually find myself at the rear court as I have a good smash. So I use a Armotec Power 900 to get the maximum benefit from that. Not the most mobile of rackets but I love how stable it is for firing down smashes.

In singles I was trying to get the best of both the above. A fast nimble racket and has a decent punch. I thought the sacrifice of power for some maneuverability was worth it and this racket doesn’t disappoint. This is an even balance racket and very stiff.

Have a couple of other random rackets lying about mostly some Yonex and Carlton rackets. 

Currently? I’m using the Yonex Arcsaber Z-slash that I got last christmas. Absolutely in love, I’ve tried a lot of high end rackets and none have made such a difference as I have noticed with my latest addition.

I haven’t really ever thought about any other brand of racket too much, but I suppose that’s the Empire’s fault 🙂 However, I have been looking at those new Li Ning rackets, although it’s hard to test them out in the UK so I don’t know when I’ll be getting one.

I’ve owned and used quite a few rackets from carbonex 8 sp, ti-10 1st gen, mp100, mp99, ti-5,  carlton as-1 and etc.

Ti-10 1st gen, i must say this racket is a heavy gunner, you can easily send bombs to your opponentsm broke it due to too high tension. Too bad they newer generations have changed quite alot.

Carlton As-1, really love the super stiff shaft, powerful yet can control was there. Same thing happened, broke due to high tension.

Currently im using Arc 10 ( bg-85 @ 28lbs) as my main racket, it’s a gift from a bunch of friends for me before a tournament. It’s not as powerful as ti-10 1st gen, but it does help me alot with  my placement.  Just like Soda13 said, it’s an awesome all-rounder, though i can still feel there’s a lacking in smash power but hey, smashes doesnt always gives you points . my days being a super offensive players are over i think, i suffered from a ACL tear 3yrs ago, so im more of a defensive and deceptive player now, and somehow im enjoying this style of play..

Feedback from the racket is noticeable, hence you can easily  judge on how much force you wanna imply in every shot. Clear are accurate, even-balance makes the racket easy to manoeuvre, helps in the defense department( also helps you to do fakes easily ) Highly tempted to try the new Arc-Z, been reading few forums and reviews for almost a month now, highly tempting i must say, but im having a tournament in 2 weeks time, might not have enough time to adjust with really well, so will stick with my dependable Arc-10 for now.

Just my 2 cents.
