Does it hurt to ask again? AT 700 vs. (old)Ti-10 vs. new purple Ti-10

[Tsumaranai]

Well, I'm going to purchase a new racket, and I'm more inclined towards the Ti-10s because of the price tag, but the AT-700 is also under consideration. I'm unsure as to the quality of performance between the old and new (new) Ti-10, as they are the ones built of presumably the same materials. I'm wondering if the Ti-10 is a better choice both price-wise and in terms of performance against the AT-700. Persaude away!

Yes yes, I know part of this comparison has already been discussed, but what's wrong with a fresh round of perspectives? ;)

[jhirata]

For the AT700, are you referring to the old one or the new one?

[KazeCloud]

I believe both the old and new At-700 are the same.

[jhirata]

Some believe that the *old* at700 is more powerful but brittle/fragile, and the new at700 is less powerful, but more durable.
The Ti10 and the at700 are quite similar, arent they ? The old versions are like.. more powerful but less durable. They also have similar materials used, and a head-heavy balance.

[aerotus70]

You demo the 2 before? what weight are you deciding 2u,3u,4u between the 2

[Smichz]

The difference i knew about those rackets..
1.AT700 old is stiffer than the AT700 new.The rest is preety much the same.
2.TI10 old n new is different..TI10 old is built with all UHMG..while its predecessors r only using HMG.Old TI-10 is head heavy while its predecessor r head light/balance.

So,when u ask which one is better,in which term were u talking about?
About the more offensive,or the more all round?

You mean successor instead of predecessor >.>. Predecessor refers to something before, so what you said was oxymoronic. :rolleyes:

[Smichz]

ooppss..sorry for the mistake.Ok,successor..the next generation..

Not sure it it’s off topic but makes me wonder how the system works, where are these new Ti-10's ( yellow and now purple) made and why are they not listed on the yonex website?

I use an old Ti-10 Long and know yonex discontinued this line around the same time when MP series was introduced.

Recently I heard of the new yellow version and now a purple one. I have ordered one online and waiting for the shipment to arrive

Just confused are these racquets only marketed in certain regions? Can anyone enlighten me

is quite a long history
ti-10(black) came out in the 90's, discontinued.
user still demanding, then yonex came out the new version (even balance) the yellow version. however, only marketed at certain region, mostly Asia.
the current(latest) version is purple colour.
difference (some said);
1. new colour/paint job - better resistant or more durable
2. made of UMHG instead of HMG for yellow ti-10.
\
back to topic;
Tsumaranai,
which criteria that you prefer;
1. head heavy or even balance
2. require more power from racket?
3. better defense?

[bmsupport]

Tsumaranai when I receive my new Ti-10 I will post a comparision against my old Ti-10

[bmsupport]

Attached is two picture of the Ti-10 I am receiving next week, the clarity is not any good but will post more pictures when I get it. This looks like a different color scheme than the yellow or the purple

Any thoughts?:confused:

[drifit]

that is the new colour scheme for ti-10.
where and what price that you get it?

[bmsupport]

badmintonshoponline.us based in HK they only had two the time I ordered, you might want to check with them price 120 Canadian Dollars

[bmsupport]

[drifit]

nope just for the bare racquet

not bad at all.......
good price though...:)

[Tsumaranai]

Sorry, I haven't been online until a while ago. I'm having printer issues. Anyway, I'd prefer head heavy, but I don't think that the new purple Ti-10 will be that head light. Am I wrong? I'd kind of want the old color scheme for the AT-700, but I suppose it doesn't matter too much.

Yes, I want more power. :D

[h4n5ip]

Fortunately all my three rackets are old ti-10, new ti-10 (yellow), and AT700.
however, they all in different spec old ti 2UG4, new ti 3UG5 and AT700 4UGU.
If you prefer head heavy pick old ti and at700. the BP around 300mm or more.
for new ti (yellow) mine the BP is 295mm still considered head heavy.

personally I love my new ti-10 more than the other two.
again it's depend on personal preference, also your skill. For me both three has packed with power not different so much.

advice wise try it yourself.

[Tsumaranai]

Well, I'm in the US, and I don't belong to any club or otherwise, and as you know, most rackets only come in 4U, which I don't want. So.., to answer a previous question I forgot to address: I want a 3U. I don't know anybody who has any of those rackets, and the about um.., one shop that's nearby, excluding the sports chains, doesn't carry anything but US coded. I think that sufficiently answers why I'm not in a position to base my choice on personal experience. Any objections? :p

[coolhandluke]

I have used new AT700 (clear red) and new Ti-10 (yellow), both in 3UG4. I haven't used the old Ti-10 or the newest Ti-10 (purple) and can't comment about them.

AT700 (clear red): This is probably the most smash friendly racket in the Yonex lineup if you use a lot of arm. Very powerful with a heavy frame and a medium stiff shaft that helps you get out a pickle when you're out of position. The price you pay for this power is losing some maneuverability due to its extra heavy head. The first time I held it, it felt like holding a stick with a big stone at the other end. It took a while to get used to the head heaviness. (For some people, AT700 is not head heavy enough. So, I guess it boils down to personal preference). I would recommend this for singles play but less so for doubles.

Ti-10 (yellow): This is also a head heavy racket despite being labeled headlight in the shaft. This is a powerful racket but doesn't match the brute power of the AT700. If you use your wrist properly and have good form, this racket stings like a bee. The shaft is stiff compared to the AT700 and makes this a very accurate racket. The racket is quite maneuverable with its slim shaft and excels in "smart" defense. I would recommend this for both singles and doubles.

If you mainly play singles, pick the AT700. If you play doubles more, then you can't go wrong with the new Ti-10.

Btw, why do you want to switch from your AT 900 P? I'm curious.

[Tsumaranai]

Well, I'm not really switching, per se. I own one, but I don't think I could get the full potential from it yet, but it's just too precious to sell, haha. Besides, it has an off-center serial number. :cool:

I'm currently just using my AT 250. It has so many chips and scrapes. It's a wonder it isn't dead. :eek:

[Jeff_SUN]

If at700 is a spear, then old ti-10 is a sledgehammer, purple ti-10 is a sword.

[gsloh]

That looks like the purple one that was mentioned elsewhere, quite sure its not a new new new colour (as opposed to new for the yellow and new new for the purple :D), saw the racket at Rose SPorts in HK a couple of weeks back..

[Zero_Cool]

If at700 is a spear, then old ti-10 is a sledgehammer, purple ti-10 is a sword.

Well said......;);););)

[Tsumaranai]

Well, there's basically nowhere to get an old Ti-10 for a good price. bbesports.com is the only place I know that would have it, but the price is just too much, especially for the code.
