The AT250LE looks lovely doesn't it? I think for most intermediate level players, the AT250 is a reasonably good racket. However, there may be better rackets for you, depending on your playing style.
If i had the option of buying a low end yonex racket for mid-high end racket from other brands i would choose the mid-high end racket from other brands.
Hi d3sm0nd On my trip back to Malaysia(from New Zealand) last month I bought a armortec 250 limited edition. It is quit pwoerful and has a massive sweep spot area. Although it is a low end racquet it is extremely good for smashing but I would give it 7/10 for defence. Even though the defence rate is low, the attack rate will make up for it. I was also trying it to a Amortec 700 and suprisingly it created a lot more power than the 700. On the down side it feels really heavy even though it says 3U.
My guess why you produced less power with the AT700 was that you couldn't flex the shaft of the AT700.
wow i was surprised cos u say 250 better den 700,hehe....i jus got my at250 special edition las few days,how much u bought in riggit malaysia?
