AT 700LTD in worldwide:


CH- 9999 pcs

SP- 5000 pcs

JP - 2500 pcs

TH- ?

Total = 17499



Someone pls update. Thank you.

So, this is what they called "Limited Edition" :mad:

[taneepak]

I am surprised that China has so many of the AT700 LTD version. The Chinese Yonex distributor is going to lose his shirt, because most of the high end Yonex racquets you find in China are SP version from Hong Kong. The Chinese Yonex distributor is not doing a good job and is no match for Hong Kong entrepreneurs.

So, this is what they called "Limited Edition" :mad:

I think in term of number of badminton maniac in each country we can say that those number are relevant.
IMO it still can be said limited. As limited itself can be described "thing that is produced at certain number of pieces"

Can you imagine if they produce even less than that? say half of that number.
the price will be much higher and not many people are able to have it.
will you be happy????

I think you couldn't calculate with the number of population.

Because i don't know how many Badminton Maniac like us in the world :D:D:D

Let's say 1 Maniac in 100.000 population.

[h4n5ip]

In Indonesia there are 280 million of people.
I think people who are badminton maniacs around 10%.
28 million. On top of that maniac that can have money to buy those limited edition is around 1% = 2,800,000.
Then the number of maniac who like the AT700 say 10% = 28,000

Then SP (5000) it self is distribute to singapore, malaysia, indonesia, etc.
Thus I think 5000 is already limited.

[t3Ri1]

Could anyone here who got JP version of AT700Limited please tell me how to get it? Or help me to get it? I have contacted Shuttle House but they already out of stock. I heard that there are 1000 pcs for TH version.Thanks.

[SpendorK]

Let's say 1 Maniac in every 100.000 population.

Est.Total = 40.000 pcs Total Est. World Population = 6,671,226,000

= 60% changes to get AT 700LTD

But if maniac like us get 2pcs per person

= 30% changes to get AT 700LTD

But if maniac like us get 3pcs per person

= 20% changes to get AT 700LTD

The seller has jacked up the price already to a point which I consider "not reasonable"...
also, he still needs to find 2 more to fill his current order, so... I don't think it is the best way to find JP code from my source at this moment...

May be you can fly to Japan as 6wood said, b/c there are apparently lots of stock in Japan.

[t3Ri1]

The rackets have finally reached UK! :D

They have a regular Yonex serial number and come with the same case as SP coded rackets.

Sounded like Yonex UK are issuing yet more confusing/conflicting information, as I heard from one UK stockist that their rep said there were only 2,500 AT 700 LT rackets in the World! :confused::confused::confused:
[I think most of us here would know that is not true]

They are still selling them as "only 2,500 worldwide... very exclusive rackets... as used by Lin Dan".

The "2500 pcs" was quoted from Yonex Japan website. It's the number of AT700 LTD JP, which are sold in Japan only. As For AT700 LTD SP, there are 5000pcs. And there are more for other region codes.

Hi Eddy, think you could be confusing things here... the point was:
If you've been following this thread, you should already know there are more than 2,500 pcs across ALL codes. However, there are a lot of people who won't know this and might buy the rackets taking what that UK store stated at face value i.e. they'd believe that they're buying a "very exclusive racket" of only 2,500 pcs (across all codes) worldwide and that the AT700 LTD is used by Lin Dan.

Anyway, I also heard there are only 250 pcs available in UK and mine is a 3UG3.

The information that Centralsports has displayed on its website is misleading. Everyone in this forum agrees with that.

If someone was to make an official complaint, there would be serious reprecussions for this company. It is not right to treat customers this way! They shouldn't be allowed to sell it!

Someone write to the head company in Japan!

Hey guys who had bought AT700Ltd.
Is it true that this ltd edition way more heavy than the original 700?

My point is, Centralsports in the UK should be reported for providing erroneous information and misleading their customers. Their figure of 2500 is way off the mark. I am sure that a number of people will have been suckered into making the purchase by now!

There are many honest retailers or sellers out there. We should be buying from them instead.

[mel_baddie]

well, a lot of people here say that the old AT700 is lighter than the new AT 700. so this will probably come to this conclusion:

Old AT700 lighter than New AT700 lighter than AT700 LTD.
:-)

i myself have not weighed the rackets.

The new version is lighter than old version - - all rackets are 3UG5.

[taneepak]

Does it make sense for a limited edition of the AT-700 to have so many series of numbering system? A limited edition means a limited production quantity, say a world-wide total of 20,000. All copies of this limited version should then be lasered with a numbering system from 00001/20,000 to 20,000/20,000. The regional distributor's code like CH, SP can appear on the shaft. This system is more credible and means what it says, i.e. limited production qty.
The current system of 4,500/5,000 for SP and 9,456/9,999 for CH is confusing as there is no written number on the actual total production quantity.

If you were to get an AT-700 limited edition with a number of 1,000/5,000 and your friend were to get one with a number 1,000/9,999, how limited is limited? Has anyone seen or has Yonex indicated what the end number is? It could be 25,000/25,000 or it could be 50,000/50,000.
That is why different countries claim to have different figures on what the actual limited production qty is. Very confusing.

What's the big fuss about this Armortech 700 Limited Edition? :)

Here are a few photos of my pair of AT700 "Limited?" TH version. Basically its just a change in cosmetics and there are no special serial numbers. Too bad its only available in 4U G5 but it plays fine with me.

In terms of cost, each piece costs only half the price of the SP version! Cheers to the Thais in the Yonex Thailand team who imho are more honest in their marketing :)

[ants]

The problem with TH rackets is that you will most likely get 4Us. Unless if you can get a hand on those TPs.
Personally i would get the Limited Edition AT700 just for the purpose of the design and not for the LTD Scheme.

I've seen that 9824 olympic coloured bag n the fabric used were not as good as the blue one.Glad to have bought the blue one!

[mel_baddie]

instead of discussing how many pieces of At700 Limited are made, why don't we talk about how it plays??

i saw in the german yonex website that the 3U/G3 Version is 90-94 grams light and the 3U/G4 version 85-89 grams.
was it a mistake from the yonex website?? otherwise,

this would mean that the 3U/G3 Version of the AT700 LTD is heavier than the old and new AT700 3U/G3.

Thats absolute nonsense. I have both of them and they are exactly the same in design AND fabric. No offense mate but it's more likely that what you get in China is a bit dodgy as in different material!

The website is wrong and you may want to point this out to Yonex. 3U means its weight is between 85g to 89g, irrespective of the grip size. The weight range from 90g to 94g is 2U.

What they mean is not the weight of the racket. It refers to the head heaviness. It is much more 'head heavy' then the new AT-700....

Was that from a racket clash or mishit?

:) mishit :)

[Hotate]

You're not alone Spendork... I've chipped the paint on mine already too! :crying:

Too painful to post a photo :( hehheh

[h4n5ip]

:) mishit :)

I've heard it stronger than new AT700.
If that chip because of the mishit, then it wasn't strong at all then. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Greetings Everyone.

I think the head of AT700ltd is not just heavy, stronger as well and I don't think just a mishit would do a damage like that, unless it's a mishit + hit(metal object).

paint chips can occur with mishits with shuttlecocks. There is no such thing as indestructible paint

[Infoman]

In case, anyone is interested to know...

I've carried out some Racquet testing and this is my verdict (quick summary):
AT700ltd - Pros: Extra power when you smash, Con: Swinging this racquet frequently makes your arm tired faster than the other racquets.
AT900T - Pros: Very good for flicks and shot accuracy, Con: picking the right grip for it.
AT900P - Pros: Very good feeling of the shots, Con: Didn't feel the power that I should when smashing.

Well, if you play with something other than the feather shuttlecocks then I'd understand, but I haven't come accross one yet (like shown in the pic) by hitting a feather shuttlecock and I've been playing for over a decade now. Anyway, if it is true then "wow" and it's my bad.

I had a chance to weight a AT700 limited yesterday. It is a 3UG4 world edition. With the plastic grip cover, it weight 95.1g... A heavy hitter indeed.

If it was world edition what was the code? CP?

The AT700ltd 4UG5 weighs 87g strung, which is same as AT900T 4UG5, but the head is a lot heavier than AT900T or AT900P. Anyone who got used to of AT900 4Us shouldn't pick AT700ltd 3U coz it would be too heavy for them.

Sorry, my fat finger. 91.5g
Also this world edition is US coded.

[volcom]

Damn I wish I can purchase one right now.... So tasty :o

[phandrew]

There is a seller selling the AT700LTD AS coded at a really high price.

I note in the photos that the AS version does not come with a special serial code (X/XXXX)....

[phandrew]

Maybe it is a fake or AS coded have unlimited numbers unlike other codes which are limited. So much for a limited edition racket.

[Hotate]

Most region codes didn't use a special limited serial - I have a UK coded racket and it's got a regular serial number. Perhaps they don't what us to know how unlimited the racket is. ;)

[phandrew]

I wouldn't be surprised if Yonex continued to make the AT700LTD after the Olympics.

haha gotta say that the shaft serial is catchy: 7607676

[Infoman]

Not just AS, UK and TH coded ones are unlimited as well. Only SP coded ones are with limited serial (xxxx/xxxxx). So the question would be if the SP coded ones that showed limited serial numbers are fake??

[silentheart]

The SP coded does not show "World Edition".

[phandrew]

i'm interested if they have a JP or CP coded AT700LTD made

[tinned_ham]

curious. my SP coded ones do show "World Edition" on the shaft.

[Oldhand]

So does mine.

There is a JP coded. JP Coded looks nicer than the SP coded ones.

[l337v1n337]

Ah sorry, missed most of this thread. I desperately needed a new racquet since I am getting back into this sport now (last racquet was an aerotus 55).

Picked up the armortec 700 special edition for $200 including tax. Feels fantastic.

[HiddenPower]

The AT700ltd 4UG5 weighs 87g strung, which is same as AT900T 4UG5, but the head is a lot heavier than AT900T or AT900P. Anyone who got used to of AT900 4Us shouldn't pick AT700ltd 3U coz it would be too heavy for them.


So there is a 4U version AT700LTD?

[Tsumaranai]

Yes. Aren't the US-/CA-coded ones 4U?

[Athelete1234]

Yes. Aren't the US-/CA-coded ones 4U?
I dunno about CD coded, but TH is 4U for sure.

[Tsumaranai]

Oh yes, CD, I don't know why I said CA. Just because that's the usual abbreviation for websites, I guess.

[Tsumaranai]

From melee in the buy/sell forum: "I bought it one month ago but now I'd like to sell it for a string machine. It is US coded, strung at 22 Lbs/BG 80, 3UG4, which is the only size in the US market."

[liint]

My CD coded is 3ug4, the only size available from maxsports

[Andy05]

Are the UK racquets meant to have a xxxx/xxxx?
Because i bought one from a reputable retailer and i didn't realise they were meant to have a limited edition number, though mine says worldwide edition.

[george@chongwei]

i ordered one too! i'll post some pics once i recieve it as well
so, have u got the racket now?

[HiddenPower]

An important question:

How does this LIMITED Version feel compare to the OLD Version AT700?


As we all know by now, the new color at700 is not the same as the old ones. So how does this limited AT700 feel like? Is it just feel like a new version AT700 with new paint?

[Dreamzz]

the uk ones just follow the normal 7 digit serial number you'll find on all yonex racquets. it's not the xxxx/xxxx serials.

I think it feels more like the original AT700. I think it is a new colour for the original AT700. Definately a lot better than the AT700 new

[Smichz]

For me,i like at700 2nd gen better than the two others,since it has the heaviest head around.It can whip like hell.LOL..

[Permochinon]

There are some data from the shop i buy my rackets from:
http://www.tenniszon.com/Produits/FichePT9.asp?PID=6274
Im thinking about to buy it but im kinda poor at the moment and i'll just continu to train with my at250 :P

[LD rules!]

i recieved two pieces of AT700ltd recently. what is the general feeling about this racket, is it more like AT7001st gen or AT7002nd gen, or a totally different racket to both.

mine are 3ug3, will post pics later if i have time.

The AT700LTD is simply just a repaint of the 2nd gen AT700, much like how the ArcZTH, AT900PLC and Arc10PG are but just repaints of the original models. Although some people have been motivated (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Placebo) by the different colour scheme and thought that it brings a new dimension (such as a heavier head, stiffer shaft or overall heavier weight) to the performance :D

If you're looking for a "repaint" of the original AT700 1st gen then your answer will be the AT Super Brands LTD (http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15878).

Mate, the AT-SB was produced in only 5000 copies for the SP market (unlike the AT700LTD which seems to have almost unlimited copies at the moment LOL) back in 2004. Even though the AT-SB is currently still being circulated in the second hand collectibles market (I was told that a number of PR Chinese collectors have this paranoia about SP coded racquets), your chances of buying a 1st gen AT700 is much higher than you can get the AT-SB, even at the same sale price.

from which country (code) this AT700 Limited Edition comes from? it came with a violin case bag and a certificate, cause SP code only came with single cover(dragon), and JP code came with soft cover (armortec limited) :confused:
