    recently I just bought a New AT700 but I do not have Old AT700 before, I did tried my friend's AT700 it is old model. Actually I didnt feel any different between new and old AT700.
    My AT 700 is 3UG4, good recket I can say.

    As i tried both of them just now,i dont feel that there's any significance difference in weight between the old n new one.What i know is that new one didnt have the Ultimum-Ti.I also heard that the new one's frame is weaker than the old one.But the new one seems to have a higher limited tension.20-25lbs,while the old one is 19-24lbs.

    My old version AT700 is 20-25lbs. It's a 3U though. All 4U AT700s (old) I have seen say 19-24lbs on the sticker.
