Yes,i've heard that the old and new TC700 r two different rackets.From the pics i've seen,issarakarya..urs is the old colour.They said old colours better than the new ones.So,congrats to u,me,jhirata and the rests who has the old ones..

**Smichz** · 12-16-2008, 12:16 PM

Comparing 9KX and TC700..for me,TC700 still booms harder and heavier than the 9KX.Besides,no need to worry for getting clash,unlike NS9KX since it's so fragile.Btw,i've sold my NS9KX since i'm afraid to clash it in doubles..LOL

that sucks! I am still sticking to my X2 Golds

The new one feels a tiny bit better to me.. But I am not sure if it is placebo, or thafact that I have used the old ones so much :-)

I agree 100% both 9K,8K and 7K are quite fragile imop..

So what is this, a racquet as powerful as an AT700, as durable as a Cab20, as maneuverable as an NS8K, as solid as an NS9K, and has a small sweetspot like a Cab8 :P

I'll hopefully be able to try this out tomorrow then.

Looking forward to your findings :-)

Actually it is more powerful than AT700 (imop), less manouverable than NS8K though, but its got a bigger sweetspot than cab 8 (given the same tension, but I would hesitate to string an old cab 8 @ 33lbs...)

It's THE most undermarketed secret weapon of the badminton world

I gave it my first try today.

As the others have mentionned, the sweet spot is small.
The thin frame made it very easy to play around the net.
I had it strung with bg66sharp at 27lbs, but it felt very numb.
Reasonably powerful IMO, but I still have to get used to it.
The racquet is very solid and durable including the paint. I clashed it while warming up, but there's not a single scratch on it.
After two games with this, I switched back to my usual AT700 and everything went fine.
I didn't give the GP10 a try yet..

Bro, you need to give it more time, my first time with the TC700 quite bad, though I didn't mishit much, but I wasn't able to use it effectively. 2nd outing with it was much better and later when I go for my game, will probably improve more !!!

Agree with the durability, as there was a shot which i ran for but i lost my balance and was heading towards the floor and had to throw the racquet away so as to use both my arms to balance myself and there wasn't a scratch on the racquet !

One thing about the TC700 is the color/design, my initial impression is that this is definitely an ugly baby, but it kinda grew on me and now I find it pretty nice, it is definitely not a color you see often.

We are still waiting for your reviews on the GP10 ! Please get on it now !

**Pete LSD** · 12-20-2008, 01:05 AM

I have the GP-10s here. Will give them a spin once I string up!

The place was so cold, I had troubles moving smoothly while warming up.. I hit the ground a few times also when I was doing drills. No scratch what so ever..

When I first tried the AT700, the situation was worse. I threw the racquet. I couldn't get used to the head-heavy balance in ages. I used to hate it but now I find it awesome. This SHOULD happen with the TC700 as well..

It's hard to test a racquet when it's so cold..

I hope you get used to the timing.. How often do you train?? How cold is cold at your place.. This time of the year it can be pretty cold here to in the gyms (especially when they just open :-) )
