have any of you heard of this racket? My friend bought it in china, and Im not sure if its fake or not.. I played with it for about half an hour, and it was SICK (the good way), it was so freakin little, and the birdie appears to change colour when I smash my hardest. The racket remained weightless throughout the entire time.
Anyways I looked it up on the internet for this racket, and the thing is I cant find any info on it... I looked at the racket again, and checked for all signsof it being fake, and believe me, there were none.
So i found that a bit weird...

so Im just asking around to see if any of you have seen this racket or played with it.. it was light (even it in the head) yet the smashes were very powerful, though not as powerful as ns8k, or at800, but i think its lighter...

Oh, in case your wondering, the top of the racket is silver like all AT frames, and every where else its blue, about the same as the AT300 model, but the words are in red boxes. And the word 'sweet' is inclosed in a shape that resembles a heart... yes I know, sounds like a weird racket..

I think its almost safe to say its a fake. Does it say its made by yonex? It could be a clone, but i dont think clones are allowed to be armortecs. It would be some other name like armorpower or something like that.

well, it does have the words 'yonex'on it...
the racket is phenominal (as in good), and the strings are a tight as heck. I've never owned a fake racket so i dont know the difference in short term usage, it seemed at least a margin better than my iso-63MF, and is alot stronger.
what i find peculiar is...
#1. its strings are all violet, with no vonex symbol
#2. It has indication of string tension or grip size near the handle
#3. the base of the handle is dark green...

but i doubt that its a fake, because y would they sell a racket no one's heard of? No pro is going to buy it, therefore sells would be low...
I have been thinking, i could be a 'limited edition' rackets (i dont know if they exist), because this racket is very good, its very fast, but it doesnt give the 'boom' sound, im not sure if its because of im inexperienced with this racket, or its actually a fake..

Basically, you have done some homework, but you just refused to believe the truth that it is a fake.

You can easily find AT-2000, 2500, 2800, 3000, 4000, 5000, 5500, 6000 in China. Human nature is, "higher number is better", and that's exactly what causes the problem.

ya i know.. im getting tired of iso63 now, since im getting better, its still pretty good with defense and pick up, but i keeps on hitting the frame now, and smashes dont tend to go as hard as i want them to.. think its time to get mp99 or ns8k...
