New Yonex Racquets

[Y@R@Y]

Were this NS500 and NS800 made in Japan??

[Smichz]

Will yonex consider to built a full UHMG rackets,like on AT700???Not just the fancy coloured things?

[Athelete1234]

Probably not. UHMG is too expensive, and yonex can always supplement a UHMG shaft with an HMG with some funny titanium implants. BTW, AT700 is not full UHMG, frame is UHMG+ gforceTi, shaft is HMG + ultimum ti.

No,i know what AT700's materials was..but i was hoping that yonex can make a full UHMG AT700,or AT900.The same TI techs on both shaft n frame.Hehe..i believe,for the price we paid,it should be enough to pay for the UHMG.Maybe if it's indeed so expensive,they can charge it some more,but not too much..then that's what we would call an upgraded racket,not just simply change their colours..

The old Ti-10 was a full UHMG racket, not the AT700.

[Ah_Shum]

there will be a new special armortec comin out in march..but i dunno the name yet..mb it'll be wut everyone is lookin for..lol

Yup..i know that.:rolleyes:N as far as i concern..only the old Ti-10 was the full UHMG..n i hope there'll be more of the kind.not just one.:)

With the technologies and materials they are implementing (it. nanotubes, ultanium ti, gummetal etc...), they do not exactly need to use UHMG because they they perform similar or equivalent to that of UHMG. I do agree UHMG is nice to have.

[Athelete1234]

I'm not sure if a UHMG shaft will be enhanced by Ultimum Ti; the UHMG will make it stiffer, and the U-ti works best on a flexible shaft because the greater flex and faster recoil (from the Ultimum ti) will give enough power. In a stiff shaft, I'm not sure if Ultimum ti will make so much of a difference.

I think ISO 900 may have been full UHMG too, and maybe Ti8. I think they downgraded to HMG with the MP series, where Ultimum Ti was used with HMG to get a similar result.

Since I do have the ISO Swing Power 900, only the shaft is UHMG while the head is HMG.

I old catalog and here is the picture which I posted last year.

They put the ARC7 in the armortec section too. NS800 is in the NS section though.

thanx for the confirmation
guess i have to put hold on my order from shuttle house
because i was thinking to replace my AT900T SP with JP version
or just wait for the new racket other than ARC10
are yours JP or others?
any personal comment on JP vs others?
do u think it would be out before end of april?:confused:
march is coming soon
in case of ARC10, the rumour has been out for awhile
while the temporarily named special armortec info hasnt leaked at all by other BCers

Oh it would definitely be out by then.. Tell them to go to Shuttle-House in Namba, they have all the latest, 'freshest' goods.. My AT700 was just a month old after it got produced in the factory when I bought it. The shopkeeper's stringing job is quite impressive too..

[tango]

I know there are some other Arcs comming to besides 10. =) I got it from an assumed source.


There will be 3...sumthing sumthing... u guess. ;)

Have all the rumored 3 publicly announced?:confused:
There are already 4 of them, are these 4 included in those 3 you mention ants?

HOPING mode = ON:D

unfortunately my parents won't have that much time in osaka,
so i need to pre-arrange my order to be sent to my relative's
address in osaka and it will be ready by the time my parents leaving osaka
and also will miss that saving of duty free:(
but will definitely save shipping cost to indo:D

[YinLoung]

I can't imagine Nanospeed or Armotec going higher than their high-end rackets now....



Nanospeed 10k?????
Armortec 1k????

[Smichz]

NS4500 is already available in Guilin.The ArcSaber10 looks so MP100...wonder if Yonex could come up with new ideas about the colour..like all black..

[chicha]

I'm also curious to see the new armortec as it's not as hype as the ARC10. Ah Shum, do you know whether the new armortec is gonna be the top of the line (AT900P/T successor maybe?) or mid range racket in armortec series (just like when yonex released NS800, etc)?
