Here's a pic of Winex's clone of Yonex AT700. Winex chose to call theirs Armanetic Ti and specs are similar to Yonex. The Winex 700 Ti comes in 5 colour schemes (red, blue, apple green, yellow and yellow/black).

interesting. Winex is trying to make badminton racket like fashion now.

also touting high tension capable seems to be the trend now.

Hahah...you should see some of the models geared towards the female players. For example, Pink Lady or My Fair Lady which are new colour schemes of existing models.

I would expect pricing to be comparable to the AT700 (i.e. Winex MM100 is priced competively to the MP100 at a ratio of 1.5 : 1) meaning around 50% below Yonex's pricing. NOTE:Don't quote me on this.

don't you mean yonex is priced 50% above winex? If winex was 50% below yonex then that would be a 2:1 ratio...

Winex is more creative than yonex interms of colors. I wonder why yonex don't want to come out with their own different colorways.

Err, i think they have, red for mp100 and yellow mp99, orange for 89M. The color trend had already been set. No one company can covers all the color palatte out there. It's infinite.

Hopefully I will be able to get my hands on one pretty soon to compare with the AT700 (JP version) which belongs to a friend (who, coincidently, couldn't care for the AT700).

Besides color, anything else in difference? Such as stiffness, weight, balance, etc.

You'd have to ask my opponents like WWC!!! :D But I think the strings were about to break on one of the racquets and the other racquet was about to break at the frame!!! But the strings broke first before I could finish a game on both of them.

maybe wwc wanted to'cut short' the demo session, not get creamed session by panhandle from longer games;)

As far as I know of the specifications, the five models are the same except for the colour and the model number. You will noticed that the 701 has two colours (yellow or yellow/black). Personally I like the blue version and apparently that was quite a popular colour.

Since winex is about the image now... i think you guys need to change the advert. That is just too much of an eyesore. Hmmm.... maybe something with a little more bling bling is in order? ;)

Hi bigredlemon,

Which tool do you use to create such cool effects ?:D i mean apart from your own skills i mean.

i wonder why Winex never tried to used something like

Adamantium Ti Kevlar series (hmm, unbreakable hmmm :D !!! - never need to worry about clashes - nobody will want to play doubles with you then)

Those Armanetic rackets sounds like they are magnetic in nature, shuttles should stick to it.
Maybe they should look like something with more repulsion ;)

Why don't you look up Tad's phone number and pick up the phone? It should be around $80 cheaper than the Yonex's (I think).

12-29-2003, 07:07 PM

For those of you who managed to get down to Tad's to check out the new Armanetic racquets, do you have any feedback?

I'm told that this is currently the fastest selling Winex model by Winex HQ.

I checked Tad's Prince they're Selling it for $170 CAD ~.~.... might as well get another Yonex Racquet

It seems like Tad's Over Price some of their Products

Winex West Can

The Yonex Armortec 700 is listed on Courtside Sports at CAD$240 and CAD$265 at Lee's so pricing it at $170 is not too bad ($70 to $95 cheaper).

Hey WWC,

Could you tell me other alternative outlets around Vancouver that carry your racquets? I went to Tad's and wasn't really impressed with their badminton stock selection.

Hi Ming (Cappy),
Sorry for the late post. Saw it on New Year's Day but didn't get an opp. to post a reply.

Tad's is the only retailer in Vancouver to carry the Winex line of products.

I just noticed that the Australian Winex retailer priced the Winex Armanetic 700 at AUD$210 which is just over CAD$200.

Thanks WWC,

Your response is better late than never... I had a chance to check out the Winex Armanetic, not bad... It's really unfortunate that there's not many specialised retailers that carry different brands. For the badminton population of its size, Vancouver doesn't seem to have the kind of selection afforded to other major North American cities like Toronto.

Today I 'm receive Winex armortx 700 A .You know that the correct . I'm say winex armortx 700 A . In Thailand It has two version of Winex armortx 700.

1.Winex armortx 700 A
2.Winex armortx 700 ti

The difference is 700 ti . It's the real Titanium add into the recket and 700 A don't have it.

I think Winex armortx 700 ti = Winex armanetic 700 ti .With ti the racket can do the higher tension than normal.

See my pictures below.

I'm very impression about Winex at-700. Great control and flex.

:D another one it's lower price than yonex at-700 about 50% ..
