Brand new AT700 Old color

[h4n5ip]

Hi Guys just wanna share my happiness of getting AT700 Old color.:D:D
Finally I got one of them. Another one I sold to my friends.
Spec AT700 Sp
3UG5
Shaft code 5609205/5609206
Cone code 200656

Anyone knows in what year they start produce AT700 and when is the last year they stop this color.

[Athelete1234]

I think that colour only lasted from 2003-2006... they truely are very sexy looking racquets :D:D. I'm lucky to have two myself (CD and IP coded, 3UG4).

Good on you Athelete.
if you realize at the bottom of the handle, the logo yonex has one small hole.
This small hole was done by Yonex to indicate that the racket is for Profesional player. And I got it from Pro Indonesian player.

I also heard that the oldest the production year is the better.

[tony531]

O.O!!!, wher'd you purchase this? i too am looking for the old one =X
nice rackets btw =S

[h4n5ip]

I got it from my friend. He got it from Prof indonesian player.
Next time if have more on this racket I will info BCers.

Couldn't wait to test it on Wednesday. I have it strung with BG65P at 26-28lbs.

[quik_silver]

one for playing, one for collection =)

>>just be careful not to hit it with the racket of your partner (if doubles) because yonex rackets with tension that high is very vulnerable in racket head warping. but i have tried to use that model and it's so comfortable in terms of power execution and its handling. no wonder lin dan still prefers to use it in spite of new models were released.

Yonex Give mix rackets to Pro Player ,for the lower level of pro player yonex give SP but with the Punched Hole and the fell is differrent from the common yonex racket in the marketplace, it is more stif and solid similiar with the IP coded,but sometime even yonex give SP racket without the punched hole but they put the hologram sticker in the grip.

[ants]

Sometimes Yonex give SP rackets to high level players as well. Players like Taufik, LCW uses SP Coded Rackets as well. It really depends on the availability and location of the events that the rackets are supplied. But usually they high level Pros are given IPs,JPs,CPs,TPs,KPs etc... however some can be replaced incase the racket breaks and some can't for eg if the rackets is supplied by Yonex Korea,UK,Japan,Thailand etc.. to Taufik during a tournament in that respective region or country, Taufik's broken racket cannot be replaced. However if Taufik's racket is supplied by Yonex Sunrise.. even if it breaks.. he can have it replaced or claim. As Taufik is Sponsored by Yonex Sunrise and not Yonex from other country.

I wish I could. Not enough money to buy 2 rackets

my first yonex racket after back to play badminton again was AT700. I broke it by clashing with my double. after 2 years of searching, finally got this baby.
I have learn in 2 years not to clash with other rackets. It works, hopefully this racket will stay for long time.

You hjave made me truly jealous :P

Slightly off topic for a moment but I think this is proof once and for all that distribution codes don't affect the quality of the racket. If SP is good enough for Lee Chong Wei, I'm sure it's good enough for us.

Back on topic, they're two really nice rackets.

[Isegrim]

i am really jealous
i got one of the old and one of the new type
and i really hate to change the racket after breaking the strings..
to me it's a different feeling only because of the colour.
i know it sounds stupid, but that's psychology ;)

Both of mine are from 2006... but still, they are great racquets. My IP doesnt have a hole in it, my friend purchased it in HK last summer.

You must have been an AT700 lover your entire badminton life!!

Yes There is two type of IP racket ,the one selling free like SP racket for common people like u can find many in mybadmintonstore.com
and the second is IP racket for pro,This one had punched hole in the green yonex butt. and it is hard to find it,hansip is very2 lucky :)

[ants]

You can punch a hole in any IP rackets actually. The reason they do that is to identify the "supplier".

I have heard from my friend, he tried to did it.
knock with a nail, the logo split.
He said, it's very hard to do it. I don't know if any of you ever try before.

Why they don't indicate the user rather than supplier. Don't they have distribution code already to indicate the supplier.

Here in Indonesia, the hole indicate that it for prof player.

During my "googling around" I found out that hansip has a really really good relationship with people around pelatnas xD (this is only an opinion, Sip xD). So I presume he's the best person you would have to contact if you're looking for Indonesian's pro racquetz xD... Maybe he's their Hansip lol (Hansip = Security Guard :D:D:D)

NB : This is just teasing no offense bro. ;):D:p

Well congratz anyway xD... "Selamat Menikmati"

I wish ..... don't believe him


What da heck :eek::eek:...? I thought he's working since he said he's getting fired if he keeps visiting Cipayung :confused::confused: (Now I'm confused T_T)

That's true, you should believe me.
I just have a good network at cipayung.

[K4mu1]

Ahhhhhhhhh!!! I got it!

Yeah, Hansip is not from Pelatnas, since he also don't work in Cipayung, he must have been working somewhere in PBSI xD!!! That's why sifu give me a clue that he's a pelatnas! In fact he's one of their board member!!!

;););););):D:D:D:D:p:p:p:p

Maybe he's a hansip in PBSI, and if he keeps doing business in Cipayung he'll be moved to Cipayung as a hansip xD!!! Which paid less LOL!!!
:eek::eek::eek::eek:

Keep up the good work pal!! I believe the payment there is more promising if you keep going with the IP RacquetS Business XD LOL!!!

[sifuyono]

no... he is a pelatnas player.....:D
look at my post carefully
i said: he is a pelatnas player.........
(.... means there is some word missing)

specially if it's IP 3ug4:D:D

[K4mu1]

Yak para pelanggan Hansip, ati2 lho jangan di gojlok terus xD!!! Ntar harga raket IP di pasaran melonjak ber x x lipat ntar tau rasa lho xD

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
For Hansip's humble customers, I believe we should stop teasing Hansip xD!!! If the price for IP rackets in the market raising to several times... That's not gonna be good xD!!!

@Hansip
Cuman bercanda lho boz T_T... Gwe percaya koq bentar lagi bakal berdiri toko Hansip Jaya di Indonesia

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm just joking bro... I believe there will be Hansip Jaya badminton Shop in Indonesia in no time!!! (Don't forget to make the Shop n Drive feature too xD)

[K4mu1]

look at my post carefully
i said: he is a pelatnas player.........
(.... means there is some word missing)

Yeah... xD I know it's hansip!! But, since it's colliding with his word "Bisa disuruh kerja di Cipayung (Could be told to work at Cipayung)", since that means he's not working at Cipayung, so the best possible answer is he's currently working as a Hansip in another branch of PBSI, and sometime's allowed to guard Cipayung and their player xD...

The work at Cipayung indirectly means he's becoming a daily security guard for the training center xD... Which is less "special" that an office xD!!!

(No one would actually thinking to steal the whole fields LOL)

That's why we can conclude that Hansip is actually being de-leveled. If he's to work there xD... Anyway we're straying from topic Brand New AT700 Old Color xD...

I thought that both the codes on the shaft and cone are laser-itched and not as big or white as shown in your 2 racquets.

Of course bro, it's laser engraved and it's not as white as you saw.

[h4n5ip]

Tested the weapon on wednesday.

As usual, I couldn't get the right timing with this weapon.
Especially when I did smash. Just info my everyday racket is 900P JP.
I felt 900P is more solid feel, while 700 more head heavy.
It's true also that 900P has less sweet spot than 700.
If I had to choose now, I will choose 900P. But it's not fair as I should give more time to my new weapon.
I also felt I need to modify my grip as now I am using replacement grip over original grip, little bit too big.

@k4mu1
Security guard do the browsing, wow cool (not many I think) :rolleyes:
Security guard can write english (that one is limited) file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/Admin/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpg:p

security guard has side job as internatioanl player yy racquet collector...... you only may find one person in this world........:D

[taneepak]

Of course bro, it's laser engraved and it's not as white as you saw.

From the photos they look different. Can you take pictures of them again but without using flash? Also the colour black in the lower part of the frame and the colour red in the middle frame should be asymmetrically synchronized on both face-sides. The two racquets in the photo show them to be symmetrical. By asymmetrical synchronization, the red colour on one side of the frame is longer than on the opposite side which is then synchronized by a longer black colour contiguous to the shorter red and a shorter black colour contiguous to the longer red on the opposite side. On the reverse side of the racquet face, the opposite asymmetry is adopted. This design is very hard to copy.

Good to realize that Indonesia has someone who is very unique around the world, and currently one and only xD!!!

(Security Guard with some 200US$ racket and currently "blackmarketing" IP rackets xD)

hihihihihii @hansip really proud of his new weapon :D congrats bro, at least you get your dream.........

you know I have been waiting this weapon for ages ;)

2nd day testing this weapon.
still I like my 900P more than at700.
I still felt it's more solid feel when I played 900P.
I really have to change the replacement grip for over grip.

[issarakaya]

^
still too early :D wait 'till 2 months :p I give my Saber 10 whole 2 months and still not satisfied hehehehe hope you'll have more luck than me :D and if you fail then i'll accept "barter" from my at900P to at700 old hihihihihihihi

[sifuyono]

hey is your 900P 4U?

[h4n5ip]

hey is your 900P 4U?

Nope. It's 3UG5.
Never like 4U, is way too light.

tonight will test again the 700. I changed already the replacement grip with over grip.
Hope will do better tonight.

@issakarya
:D:D:D no intention to sell this at700.

[h4n5ip]

3rd time playing with AT700.
after changed the grip with overgrip.
Now I can feel the power. Everything was in the right track.

I knew it at the first place that the grip is too thick for me. thus it didn't feel right.

I love the racket. Now I regret that I sold the other one
