Those specs look pretty demanding

The specs suggest its extremely head heavy and extremely stiff... looks impossible to wield

. There is still hope after reading the technology page it seems to say it's flexible but stable(extra stiff?) and it says the head size reduces the feeling of head heaviness so have to wait I suppose

The concept looks interesting, and more and more like an evolved AT700 (same smash based, increasingly head heavy but now with increased manoeuvravility for the new game system).

But the ugly bright green colour is a turn off for me; hoping that the LTD colour may be better

Wow, crush the shuttlecock as per LCW's advertising $'s word! Well, will have to take it for a test drive to know for sure if it suits INDIVIDUAL needs. AT700esque huh?

You'll soon forget about the colour once it delivers the way it claims. I kinda liked it already on paper...

That's the same thing the marketing said about the AT700; extra stiff but elastic shaft helped by the Ultimum Ti.

Not every release should be catered to suit everyone of all levels so I don't see the problem here . And it is "recommended" (by Yonex) for advanced male players only but suitable for advanced females as well (iirc the meaning of the recommendations). But who here has that held back, ever ... . I see we have a new NS1000 & 3000 as well.

I'm still stuck at using AT700..

Actually I think they (yonex) are using a joke urameatball made a while ago as marketing

[Blitzzards]

This reminds me a lot of LCW's defeat at WC2011.

Being a fan/user of AT 700 myself, I surely hope it will suit my individual needs.
