Astec (Alan-Susi Technology) Rackets

**2007fp** · 05-26-2007, 07:09 PM

Mini review on the Pro 850(With BG80 at 27Lbs), with two overgrip, feels like a 2U MP99(With BG80 at 27Lbs)
Balance point from buttcap 280mm
Power is great, but not as powerful as a MP99
Shaft I find it as stiff as MP99
Great paint jobs, few clashes, no damage yet. Solid racquet. Really Great racquet for the price. I would get more Astec racquet in the near future.

Storm Pro look really nice with the chrome paint. And HappyTA5 is a really nice person, have a nice chat with him last time.

Just to add, I find it a great singles racquet, for doubles I you might want to try the Storm Pro(I havnt tried it, hope HappyTA5 will let me demo it sometime) but it is alot lighter than the Pro 850.

Corrections: The grossy finish on the racquet frame do come off after clashing, but the paint seem perfectly fine. I will see after more clashes.

dear Garuda, what happyta5 said was correct, the storm pro with the 80 gram weight should give u a great defensive action, but with the tapper kick shaft and the wave power system in the frame, should give u extra energy to do the attack...in Indonesia we're gonna launch the new racket a little heavier than Storm or Maximum..we call it EXCALIBUR, i will upload the photo soon...

For the excalibur racket we made with stiff shaft with tapper system, which is the shaft is narrower near the frame like an arrow point, that made the racket a little bit flexible

New pictures coming up soon...=)

Hi astec! im going to buy(actually my wife is going to buy for me) nanolight but since you mentioned excalibur, i would like to request for the pics and price range and specs because she'll be leaving jakarta on the 11th.

FYI my Indonesian colleage was quoted Rp560,000 for the Pro850 by Susy Sports at Kelapa Gading, Jakarta. (As you may be aware Susy Sports is owned by Susi Susanti and Alan Budikusuma who produced the Astec rackets.)

**maa2003** · 06-05-2007, 04:35 AM

the price is

Hope the price will not be increased next month when I plan to return home and buy Astec Pro 850/900 as well as the shoes .......

Hi guys...well actually the price of Pro 850 is only Rp.405.000,- maybe in Susy sport include with the string and grip, we relly don't know because it's Susy's big brother that run the store...the price won't be much different then

**ASTEC** · 06-05-2007, 09:46 PM

here's the picture of excalibur, with the wave power system, tapper kick shaft, much likely almost the same with Storm but we put a little bit heavy in Excalibur so you can maximize ur attack...enjoy

**maa2003** · 06-05-2007, 09:54 PM

I get similar offer as well .....
