[bry172]

hi im looking into a new racket i currently use a ti-6 long its been a decent racquet but im looking for something which more power as i like to smash i most often play doubles and the occasional singles game. has any1 tried both the black knight feather and the yonex armortec 700?

I have the new version armortec700 3UG4. I cant compare it to the black-knight because I havent tried it yet, but one thing I must say about the at700 is that it takes quite a while to adjust to its head-heaviness. drives and netshots were nightmares when I first tried it. Now, they're no problem at all. Also to have the full potential out of this racquet, you must have the right technique, otherwise it'll just be a waste of money. And oh yeah.. this is one bloody powerful racquet.

Agreed.If u have what it takes,go for AT700.It's one of the most bloody powerful racket out there.

I tried 4UG4 AT700 old before... very weird racket, either u hate it or like it. The head is extremely heavy and the body(shaft) is very light. I rec u demo it before buying

maybe thats why i'm still noob:crying:



grip size , smaller grip can increase size with overgrip, bigger grip = buy new racket :D, for selecting correct grip size google it :)

for weight got to demo it to see how heavy u comfortable with

That's absolutely ur personal preference.If ur hand is quite big..get a G4..but if ur hand is small,choose G5.About the weight,simply just choose between 3U or 4U.That's the most standard that ppl use these days..

BlackKnight superlite feather (black and green) is very head light. It's great for front court control type of players. Unless you have a very fast swing, it might be a bit lack of power, when compare to head heavier rackets. :rolleyes:

thanks for every1s comments now i sjtu need to decide what weight i shud get 3u or 4 u. im only 14 but i hav a very strong arm and wrist my arm is much thicker than all my friends. having known that which weight shud i get 3u or 4u???

[Tsumaranai]

I would say you could get more potential from a 3U, but also, as per your boasting, I would also have to say that having thick arms is only a marginal factor behind the production of power and doesn't necessarily cite anything more than that you have thick arms. :rolleyes:

sry didnt mean it like that. badminton requires wrist power and that snap unlike tennis. thanks for ur suggetion
