    Hi, i need opinions about these 2 racquets. I tried both and liked them both very much (same string on both racquets and tension) The armortec 700 affensive is a light and good for defensive too xD. Smashes are pretty powerful. Woven 8 same with armortec 700. I think woven 8 is slightly lighter. I've heard good feedback on woven 8 and people have recommended it for a long time.

    Armortec 800 offensive (orange/blue racquet) or armortec 700 (red and black racquet)? Armortec 700 offensive doesn't exist.

    I would say go for the woven9. Its lighter and you do not have to have pure power at the expense of defense. I think woven9 would be better

    Woven 8 is a very even balanced racket is it extremely easy to play with. Woven 9 is head heavy and a tick longer has a bit more power but is a bit slower on defense. Woven 9a which is discontinued is same length as the 8 and a bit head heavy but not as much as the w9. I think it is better than the w8 or w9 for doubles but hard to find now a days. Closest to the 700 of these 3 would be the w9.
