    Yeah, I got an armortec 150 also. It was like $67 CAD total, so why not?

    I look to get power out of this too as a change to my weak smashes before.

    If you check this, http://www.courtsidesports.com/store/product/10923/Yonex-Armortec-150-Badminton-Racquets-G3--/

    they say you should string it from 20-25 lb.

    I think 20lb is like just too low. I'm thinking 21lb? Again, looking for close to mac power.

    What is control anyway? Like my net shots or drop shots won't be good or is it that I won't be able to aim my smashes because of bounciness?

    Thanks guys.

    If you compare all the armortecs together, suprisingly AT150 is next to AT700 in the most head heavy racket.

    String as what you can use. Too high= weak. Too low=weak too.

    Control= the racket feels solid. As in it shows a consistent play. Yeah, something about bounciness too but it does not matter as long as you don't go below the 20lbs limit.

    Both of you guys need to give more information. What are your playing styles, experience and swing speed?

    NBG98, NBG95, BG66, BG80 or BG85 will give you lots of power. Try 22lbs and go from there.
