Overated AT700

meh, not really. it's a good racquet but rather expensive brand new. but if you can resist the urge to buy it new then your fine.

yonex is expensive but I think they made the most selection and best equipment with new technology to entice us to buy them. hence the expensive price.

 

I've always wanted to go out and buy the AT700, but never saved up enough money lol

 

How can it be overated when many of the top singles players in the world use it? It's still cheaper than the other top end yonex rackets =p

 

i found the 700 to be one of the best racquet out there (even though it's sitting in my cloth bag as the big mama 900P has taken priority). it is quite heavy at first, but you'll get use to it. i only had one night of play and a few days after i bought 2. it will be sad to see it leave my company

 

AT-700 is the best that I've ever owned !!~ :crying:

 

compare to what rackets ?

just bought myself at700 and ti10 |(new) and only had a go for few hours....still adjusting the time and such ......can't really comment....but will give some input later

Compared to AT-500, MP-88 and Carlton Powerblade XXX....
VEry powerful racquet but unfortunately someone hit my racquet from behind :crying:

 

have seen a number of players struggling with their AT700s yet they claim its the best racket they have ever played with and insist on using it. Obviously the AT700 is too demanding for these guys imho you should have a certain level of skills to maximise the capabilities of the AT700.

 

Just buy it, it is only S$200/-, it is a good racket.

Thanks.

 

its good if u can get used to it. Its easily the most powerful racquet out there.

 

Even more powerful than the AT 900 P? Lol.

 

from wad i've heard. yeah. At900 is much quicker though. But the at700 sure beats my ns9k hands down

 

really depends on your preferences, i prefer the ns9l over n at700 any day

 

I find that the nanospeed9000 s is easy to control and less strain on your wrist than the armortec 700 with equal or slightly less power in smashes.

 

i tend to agree with alan06 as my friend used my 700 for one night. he use to use his very old oval shape racquet but forgot it that night. this was about 3 weeks ago and his wrist is still sore!!

 

at700 is super slow though.....

 

AT700 is a very good racket for single. accuracy+power is all that single needs. However, in doubles it's very hard to defend with. IMO, it's a little hyped cause it's not that that good overall, especially when you face superior opponents.

 

Everyone should have their own preffered fave racket,rather than just to see what most pros r using n follow it.They love this racket because they feel the most suitable to play with it,and change it again after they feel comfy with another racket.

For example:When a badminton newbie or an intermediate play with AT700 or any other NS9000X,they wont really feel comfy to play with it,since they cant really play with it.But they cant say that.."ahhh..this racket sucks"..since lots of pros using it n they can play well.Ppl will laugh at him.Instead of continue using that racket,they should change the it,to another racket which he feels most suitable.

Let us see chen hong,his sponsor just got changed,from yonex to victor,n he follows his sponsor to use their racket.So does most of pro players,got sponsored by yonex and they have to use yonex racket,not any other,especially during championships.So,each of the pros choose the yonex racket that suits them.If u dont really get,they dont really have the chance to use any other brands,unlike us..who could choose any other rackets that we like.So,let us not blindly faving for something which is so popular.

So,there's no such thing as the best racket.Not even the world's most well known AT700,AT900,or the most expensiive NS9000S,X..since,everyone should have their own preffered rackets...
