New colour Yonex Armortec 500

[walkinghome]

I stopped over in Singapore and came across a new colour Yonex Armortec 500. Can anyone confirm?

I can't remember what it looks like now other than I was startled. I only saw this one AT500 and never came across any "old" ones (the light metallic silver blue one). Do you know if the new one feels like the old one, or is like the new Ti10 where it might as well be considered a different racquet?

Thanks.

hmm was wondering the same question... hehe... the "new 2006" edition is light metalic silver/blue-ish... But what about the old one??

Yes AT500 has a new color. The old color is a combination of blueish/silver.

Jotaro, thanks for the picture of the new one! I agree it is a handsome racquet and it looks totally unlike the old one. Have you tried it? Are you/Is anyone able to provide a comparison review? There must be some AT500 fans out there.

thanks for the pic, but it still soesnt solve my question: is the old model and the new model similar in colour style? coz the new one is blueish silver, and the old one is also described as blueish silver...

the old one is bluish/grey metalic, while as the new one is silver, black and white. I currently have the new colored one, and tried my friend's old colored one. No real difference except the color. But i think the old color looks much better than the new one.
