its all based on technique...but the at700 is more head heavy so you might get a bit more power, but like i said...all on technique* =]

Armortec 700 ( New Color ) Allllll The Way Dude

In the right hands there shouldn't be a huge difference. To me the biggest difference is that the AT700 has a longer and more flexier shaft.

scrub the new colour and get the old colour...the new at700 looks nasty

If you play doubles, AT900P is better. Both are good for singles. At700 is hard to use cause of its head heaviness. AT900P is hard to use cause of the stiffness.

keep in mind though at700 breaks easily, a friend killed one off bad frame hits

o really.... that sucks how hard did he hit it though??

dude I'm only 14 and you are telling me the AT700 is hard to handle??? Wow, you must have toothpicks for arms or something because it's working fiiiiineee for me. 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.

It's harder to handle, but if you work on it, it's easy to handle. It does work fine for me, and I dont' see why you have to make a statement like that. All high end racquets are difficult to use for some reason, and for the AT700, it's because of it's head heaviness.

all high end racquets are hard to use for newbies/equipment junkies because they don't have the form and skill yet.

All ATs are the same .....but heck, it all comes down to your own techniques

They're not...stiffness, head heaviness, materials, and frame x-sections are all different...

When I started playing badminton in 1977, I used to play badminton for 3 - 4 hours, and all rackets were having wooden frames... And you are right, the AT700 in your hand is toothpick compared to the wooden ones.

Age is never the problem, is the 'head' that is having the problem...

Thanks.

**XtC-604** · 09-24-2007, 12:21 AM

i think the main problem arises when you have pain all over...

I actually have a few wooden racquets in my garage. Great for training.
