Armortec 900 power OR Armortec 700 (new colour) which is better overall????

**LoOpEdd** · 03-02-2011, 12:07 AM

I want to buy a new racket. Arc Z-slash, At-900/700 power. (Money isn't the problem) Just which racket is the best in your opinion. I want hard smashes and are going to use it for singels mostly. Does At 900/700 have more power than Arc Z-slash or the other way around?

Isn't At 700 power good for retriving smashes, net play and drives? Which one got most power?

**LoOpEdd** · 03-02-2011, 01:07 AM

So, which one if you have good technique? Does the armortec 900 power have much more controll?

Why not wait till Voltric 80 reaches you area? Voltric series will replace the Armortec series ...

Yes I know that and I allready have the Voltric 70 =D but, I don't like it so much in singles, I have tried my teammates Arcsaber Z slash and think that it is better for single. And Lee CW allso uses the At 900P which is another reason to get it befour they are replaced. If you are going to buy one of the Voltric series, keep in mind that they break kinda easily. I hit myself with it in my for and it broke

Do you really think that the Voltric 80 will have so much more power? And I live in Norway so it will take quite some time befour it gets here, but I can order from Denmark, when do you think they will launch it in Denmark?

Why? What is better with the 700?

**CarbonexFan** · 03-09-2011, 08:55 AM

If you would like an OVERALL racket, the AT900P would be the answer compared to the AT700. I like the AT700 more, but to some players this would be too heavy to qualify as overall racket.

Thank you guys for your thoughts. I have tried my team mates Arcsaber Z-slash and I find it to be a very good racket that I think fits my personal style (spesially in singel) and have ordered it =D

The Voltric 80 doesn't necessarily replace the AT700. I've been using AT700 for a while, and then I tried to upgrade to a newer model last December and opted to go for Voltric 80. I used it for 4 months, but when I broke the string of both my Voltric 80s, I had to use my AT700s again. To my surprise, I really felt like my game was never better. Since then, I never used my Voltric 80s again. I just sold them last week, by the way, and planning to get another pair of AT700s - the 2012 premium edition..

I have both the AT900PLC and AT700 Premium 2012... Personally I find the AT700 much faster and versitile compare to the AT900P... IMHO I think the AT700 PR is not heavy at all compare to the AT900P because my singles racquet is mainly my N90.

Hey guys,

some of you talked about a new Armortec 700 called AT700 Premium 2012. Where can I find this racket? Yonex itself doesn't mentioned this new Generation on their website.

I just have another question about comparison of the AT900P and the AT700.
I found two different charts, one of them says that the AT900P is head heavier the other one shows the opposite.
Which chart is the right one?

the latter is more familiar chart to me.

I'm also faced with the same delimma,

Currently I am being offered a AT700 and AT900P, I dont know which one to pick. Price difference from the older and new model is $20. I like to play offensive, but occasionally play net/ several occasion I drop often as well. What racquet would you recommend given the price, or play style. I'm kinda big guy, 6'2 190LB, if that plays any factor. RECOMMENDATION PLEASE

**CarbonexFan** · 07-16-2012, 09:49 AM

Take them both?

Youre 14 and you can seriously carry the AT700 with ease? Seriously? No offence tho by me myself cant even carry and maximise the racquet to the fullest throughout my game, you must have strong hands and wristwork for a 14 year old.. awesoemeeeeee....

Plus color is only a small factor of a racquet, it depends if you are comfortable and intact with your racquet and also pending on your technique.
