    Hey everyone,

    I'm able to get an Yonex Armortec 500 at the half of the price (€50, it isn't a fake but a very rare promotion). I already own an Armortec 800 Defensive, so I don't know if it's worth buying.. Are there a lot of differences between the two except for stiffness?

    Kind regards,
    Stijn

    well.. if it's not a different racket...why name them different?...for 50 euro's..isn't it worth a try?

    balance point might be different. my at500 comes in at 305mm. No original grip, overgrip on wood...so give or take 3mm...it's definatly above 300mm....what the bp of a 800def? 290-295 (balanced?)

    so it's flexier, and probabaly head-heavier...i'd say worth 50 euro's to try...otherwise somebody close might be interested, sell it for 60 euro's;)

    :rolleyes:what you should have done is keep this quiet..now all the belgium members are runnign to stores near you:D
