    I like at 800 but i heard it breaks easily so maybe a 500 is better?
    as my name says, im a beginner who smashes rarely

    The answer - neither! Get a good pair of shoes first!

    As for rackets, if you're just starting off playing, you'd be better off getting a lower end racket, eg. (assuming you'll want to stick to yonex) Isometric lights, MP 21, 23, 25etc. Work on your skills before upgrading. The AT800 Off is a rather stiff racket, its a lot of hard work and strength trying to swing and flex the racket.

    Of course, this is just my 2 cents, the ultimate decision is up to you ;) .

    armortec 500

    I have the new 2006 armortec 500 :) ad i am very happy with it. Yes the colour may be bland but it is seriously an amazing racket . The colour doesn't really matter anyway:cool: .
    The smashes are really good and powerful and the clears are amazing. This racket is way better than the armortec 800 off and 800 def. Even though i like these rackets. If anyone agrees then please reply A.S.A.P.
