Does your racquet determine your playing style?

Does your racquet determine your playing style?Hi there, I hope this is the right forum to post the question. I´m just wondering, if racquets do determine the playing style. Until recently I played with AT900T. I find that AT900T is very good at maneuverabilty and net play. My shots are overall acurate and normally at the net, I tend to do net crosscourt instead of net kill. Last week, I decided to buy a heavy headed racquet. My choice were AT900P and AT700Ltd. So for a few days, I´ve been reading the threads concerning those racquets. I tried AT900P from my friend. I had the feeling that the racquet is very solid just by holding it. I don´t know how to explain but it feels just right. When I used this racquet, my smash improved and my clears were better. Then I tried AT700Ltd. Here in Germany or at least at my place, people can try the racquet first before purchasing it. I mean, I get the new racquet for a whole week to try at my will and upon returning I can always say no, if I don´t like it. So my first impression upon holding this racquet was I´m holding a hammer. The racquet is very heavy headed. By the way, it is 3UG3. After about 5 minutes drive drill my hand was already shaking. The racquet is very heavy to swing. But by the second day, I´m already used to the racquet. My smashes and clears are way better than before, as reviewed by many people. What I want to share here is upon using the racquet, I tend to smash and clear a lot.With this racquet smash and clear are the only things in my mind to win a rally. If you´ve gained so much momentum by swinging it, why waste it with a drop shot. Why not finish it with smash? Why not release ''the monster within'' the racquet? I know, smash is not everything and my smash is not that powerful, I´ve seen people with better smashes. But with this racquet I just cannot resist to smash. So people, what do you think?
