    Main thing about these 2 rackets which you should be aware about is that 1 is head light = Mp 44 while the other Armortec 300 is head heavy as the whole armortec series is. headlight mostly is for better defense, while head heavy is most of the time for attacking play. i think this would be a major factor in deciding which you would like to buy. if you ask me i would buy the armortec 300, but that is just me ^^

    Armortec 500, or stay with the Iso63?

    I'm thinking of buying an Armotec 500, my smashes and control are decent with the Iso63, but I'm not sure if buying the head heavy Arm500 would improve my smash nor my play. People have given great reviews to the Arm500, even to the point where they consider it better than the Arm700 :confused:. Sure, I'd have to get used to the racquet with the change of a light head Iso63 to a head heavy Arm500, but is it better to get it now for the long run? By the way, the store that I buy from only has one in stock so hurry please?

    hello, i have an MP 44 myself, and it's a pretty good racquet

    my friend owns an armortec 300..but i haven't tried it

    just like Weida84 vbmenu_register("postmenu_227079", true); said, if you play more defense then get the MP44, however if you want a bit more power for attacking, then get the armortec

    personally right now i would choose the armortec 300 just to try it :rolleyes: i wonder if it's good

    AT300 is only slightly more head heavier than mp44 but the 300 is stiffer

    With JUST a LITTLE BIT more money you can get AT500. AT500 has gForce Ti and 300 doesn't.

    I'm thinking about getting the arm500, but wut's the major difference between it and the Arm300? And does anyone have the exact stats for the AT500? Stiffness, grip, weight, etc? And what role does the gforce Ti play in the advantages of the AT500?

    you guys do know that the threat is about muscle power 44 right. i jusst bought the mp 44, upgrading from at150, and its a good racket. has great defense, and decent power. but if ur willing to spend bout that much money for the at 300, id spend bout 12 more dollars and get the at500. waaaayy better deal.

    This thread is over two years old, I'm pretty sure he has found what he's lookin' for by now, ;) .

    And unless you find one from old stock or at a clearance sale, MP-45 is the new MP-44, :D .

    The AT300 is made in japan, regardless where it's sold.

    The only current rackets in the Armortec series made in taiwan is the AT150 and AT250.
