    There's only one original Armortec series (Yonex). The rest are clones or fakes... if they're really any better than Yonex, then they should have their own original names and designs. Don't you agree;)?

    If it's a clone from a reputable brand, it might worth to take a try. If u like it (but might not have the exactly same characterics as the real AT700), and the price is much cheaper, maybe it's a better deal for u.

    If it's a fake. Be careful, as a lot of them are still sold as high price to rip ppl off, and the quality usually sucks big time.

    I am just asking how the performance of the racket compare to other 700 racket in the market. Comparing the smashing, feeling etc.

    Seems to me that you might be looking at the Yonex Armourtec 700 because it is Yonex's current top of the line racquet. If that is the case, I would strongly recommend you to give other racquets at least some considerations first. No one should ever buy a certain racquet because it is "top of the line" from a certain manufacturer. Rather, you should buy a racquet that suits your playing style.

    Personal preference is subjective, it won't help you decide when you asked others how the other clones compare with the original Armortec. Only way to know if the racquet really fits you is to try it out.

    Hehehe, it is not the armortec that plays, it is YOU. :D You control it :)
    If the armortec can switch to auto-mode and do super powerful smash by itself, then maybe no need for human player anymore :)

    AT700, head heavy and light, only MP88 and swing power series come to mind.

    But AT700 feel is different coz it is different material. too bouncy for my liking

    Agreed.

    For me, AT700 doesn't come close to my MP100 or 90. I would even rank it below my Cab20 & 22 for the satisfaction of playing with one.

    What one treasures is rubbish for another. :cool:
