For those who love AT700, The Armortec700 have a new color. But there is not much different. Just that the RED color is much brighter than the previous ones. I'm not sure weather it will be available worldwide. Will post some pics of it when i get them next month.

wow!?!? when was this first introduced? just now?

Any photos from web? I can't seem to find anything about it...which part of the world do you get yours from?

I just hope Yonex don't change the racket spec dramatically.

Well... I think they run out of paints.:D

Anyway, ANTS, really appreciate such first hand info; because I was about to purchase another piece of the AT700. It seems to be much more easier to manipulate than the Ti-10.

Thanks.

thanks for the heads up ants! is the red the same as in the mp100?:confused:

The color that the existing AT700 is called Diamond Red. The new one is called Japan Red. So go figure out. :)

next month = 2 days. Yay! :D

next month = 2 days. Yay! :D

Hahah be patient.

i personally think a brighter red would make the racquet look a bit better, lol its all good with me as long as they dont change anything else.

I think japan red doesn't look as good..looks a bit too dark?

ok, does yonex try to make Armortec 700 look more like MusclePower 100 (just color scheme)? Hmm...

Just wondering, could it be same as ti-10 new colour, the graphite used is high modulus rather than ultra high modulus?

Basically the specs is the same. Just the color is different. But i dont think it is for international distribution at the moment.

Any pictures of the new color on the AT700?

everyone is so impatient ><! its only the 3rd :P!

/bump

Nothing new regarding the AT700 on Yonex's JP site. Anyone have any pics or news yet?

We are all waiting for you ants ><

anyone wanna take a guess? :D

i wish he woudln't abandon us like this ><"

Sorry guys.. i can't give any details yet about the racket since it has not reached my hands at this moment. But basically everything is the same. Just that the color is different.

Any news on this yet Ants?

ANTS, i guess it is not launched after all...;)

i found at500's design appealing... are they changing to that with red? might look good :D

or i guess the new color was already in place but no one actually notice that? heh

Any News on new colour release?

I think the combination of red, black and silver looks really nice. They're really 'powerful' colours.

The new colour is too bright for my liking, good thing I've already purchased another AT700 before they had the new colour ><

agree, agree... the new color is just too strong... the old one's better....

New one looks like... a fake.

No but like seriously, the new one looks like it was made for a kid. The old one looks much more sophisticated.

agree that the colour is quite vulgar. the current colour just looks superb

The old color looked like a classic color. The never one, i would say more daring and "fierce" looking.

i would say more daring and "fierce" looking.

Kinda like fire red but I'm another one who love the old color because of it's "silent" black while showing a bit of "fierce" red to let your opponent knows you mean do business lol :cool:

Wait until you see the actual racket. It looks quite cool. Sorry I cannot provide a picture but I think you will like it.

still can't find the new coloured AT700 in Singapore.:o

I like the new color AT700. If they start to sell here in the US, I will buy one.

noticed Chen Jin using the new-coloured Armortec 700 at the Asian Games... looks like he likes it.... Lin Dan, if im not mistaken, is still using the old-colored one..

the new color 700 will be arrive (Singapore) this month so as the NS 7700 & NS 5000.

a bit sad cause I just bought the 9x last week. :(

source : from yonex boutique, singapore. (today)

BTW LouisW, where's d yonex boutique in singapore?

Its located in Far East Plaza... near Orchard Road.

ya...i aslo saw chen jing using the newest Armotec 700....
and how much will be different between new and old model Armotec 700 cost.?

Its located in Far East Plaza... near Orchard Road.

oh thanks... is it a shop solely dedicated for Yonex goods only aka the name, or is it just a name as in a sponsor name??

The specs are not the same. The new AT 700 does not have Ultimum Ti and yet it is more expensive than the older version.

i thought the specs are the same? what's the difference you've found??

BTW, i asked the Yonex shop here, says that the new color AT700 for now is still only for the players, not marketed yet...

i thought the specs are the same? what's the difference you've found??


As I've said, it does not have Ultimum Ti on the shaft. Read the composition specs listed on the racket shaft of both the old and new AT700.

Since Yonex have taken out Ultimum Ti, the new racket should play slightly differently from the old version...... Unless Ultimum Ti does nothing much in the first place and is just a marketing gimmick.

I just got mine from san diego badminton supply. The shaft only have the wording of ultra light weight/ head heavy balance/ high modulus graphite/ made in japan.

The specs are not the same. The new AT 700 does not have Ultimum Ti and yet it is more expensive than the older version.

Notice that as well, not sure if it's just not printed or does not have Ultimum Ti in th shaft anymore.

Is it more expensive? Thought it's the same? Btw, has anyone seen 4U version in SG?

tried swinging with both old and new color versions of 3u at700 at a local shop and reckon the new color at700 is not as head heavy as the old color at700

omg. Initially i tot someone edited my post. I dun understand hw did i ended up copying that mysterious porn link. PLs dun let ur tots run wild. Aniwae, i just went to check out that link, no virus or wadsoever, so relax.

Really apologise for the misunderstanding.

For your view guys.

I think the new model have UltimumTi too

The picture and specs you have just posted is the old AT700, the new version DOES NOT contain the Ultimum Ti technology as Modious has already stated.

Whether this will make any actual playing difference to the racket, we will have to wait and see; but it obviously didn't bother Peter Gade too much as he won the Malaysian Open with it!

I have a feeling that the new AT700 may in fact still have the Ultimum Ti in the shaft since it is supposed to be the same spec as the old one. The only way to be sure would be to cut a new AT700's shaft open and look for the Ultimum Ti "wires". I believe someone on this forum did that with an MP88 or MP100 but I can't find the pics at the moment.

From the specs u guys mentioned,seems that it's the same.Just the colour.So,which one should i get?How about the price?Is it different?

Why does Badminton Alley list them with UHMG in both frame and shaft?That would put them in the same class as the Ti-10, except technologically better in that case, minus the Ti-Mesh.

According to the latest catalogue, the new color at700 does incorporate Ultimum Ti technology:
