Ok, played today for 1h. The racket has a good feeling, suited for doubles also. The balance does not feel that head heavy.
The problem with my review is, that I have problems with footwork, tactical thinking and shot consistency, so the racket is least of my problems

I would suggest this racket to people, but then again, one could choose similar rackets from different companies, and the end result would be same :P

Verdict: If you can get it cheap, and need a primary or backup racket, why not.

what is the price like ?

**sennannes** · 06-22-2010, 09:44 AM

A humble presentation... of my duo, Protech Armortec 700 Limited (1x strung YY BG66 @ 28lbs, 1x unstrung - both brand new). Showing 6 photos taken by me. Enjoy!

is the armotec good for smashing or is the nano more powerful?

Both are very powerful racquet, but the Armortec is good for smashing particularly, pity it's very hard to get due to end of production by Protech.

Anyway, here is the Protech Nano Power 990 of mine of another humble presentation. 6 photos taken by me (strung with YY BG66 @ 28lbs once again). Enjoy!

great shots senna.
judging from the tarmac in the pics, you stay in a nice gated community?

LOL... those aren't tarmac, mate. Imagine, I wouldn't risk scratching my dear racquets on a tarmac surface for photo shoot.
Simple, that surface was just an oversize-square black sponge sheet.

Oh, and soon I might present my solar system Protech of Mercury, Neptune, Jupiter and Saturn. Lastly it will be both Blue Monster and Strike 900.

That's all I have, thanks for the compliment and I do hope you did enjoy it. By the way, have you got yourself your desired racquet yet?

Hi there again!
LOL. My words, are tempting eh?
Well, suddenly I have the thirst and hunger for the Protech PowerSaber 10 (lookalike of ArcSaber 10)
Someone has posted on BC before, showing his photos:

Sadly I couldn't find it anywhere. :'(
I would love to get it, but wonder if anyone can help to provide some store names in PJ/KL area.
Have you tried seeking around for the Armortec 700 Limited?

**barca96** · 06-24-2010, 01:07 AM

yeah i was looking for it online, the armotec 700. no wonder its called limited :lol:
staying quite far from city so havent checked at pertama.

Oh? Don't get you. What do you mean by 'no wonder it's called Limited'?
Haha. Do you mean that because it's hard to find, so it is known as Limited? LOL
I suppose the older batch of Protech racquets are getting into extinction. Sadly, but true.
For example, I'm trying so freaking hard to get the PowerSaber 10 which I am currently craving after!

Somehow I have tried to contact with the Protech HQ at Shah Alam and they kept advertising their solar system series to me.
Upset, somehow I have consistently informing them - I HAVE ALREADY ACQUIRED ALMOST ALL OF YOUR LATEST RACQUETS FROM MERCURY TO NEPTUNE!
It is a pity that their customer care and support wasn't to the expected standards. Good grief I'm only into their products and not their management.

Maybe you should try to check at some stores, some hands-on feel will be better.

Blue Monster & Strike 900 - both strung @ 25lbs (Proace Lethal)
Mercury & Neptune - both strung @ 27lbs (Protech Absolute Titanium)
Jupiter & Saturn - both strung @ 28lbs (Protech Absolute Gold)
Eclipse Orange & Eclipse Blue - same as above
2x Armortec 700 Limited - one strung @ 28lbs (Yonex BG66) and one unstrung
Nano 990 Power - strung @ 28lbs (Yonex BG66)

Soon to add with a Protech Mars and it would be enough for me of 12 Protech racquets.

Do let us know how your racquet feels like in-hand, and have a good time playing with it! Cheers.

It has a slim-shaped frame and it is of only 83g in weight. As for Earth, I find the stripes on the racquet weird-looking. It would be good if it has some other pattern instead of stripes.

Mars more like full metal color with less decorative which i like it. 83g ? i not sure abt it but it is the lightness i like abt it. I've used Charger, Jupiter, Classic Master and Mars. Earth, Neptune and Mercury feeling not like Mars at all. I will be adding another Mars also doubt AJ having any stocks left. Anyway i strung my Mars with BG66 @ 26lbs

It is great that you have found a racquet which suits you. AJ, as in AJ Puchong? Well, I have seen quite many units of Mars left at a shop nearby my house.

Currently am in love with both Armortec 700 Limited and Nano Power 990. One for the offensive use and the latter for the defensive use.

Sticking to 28lbs for all my current strung racquets and am soon going for higher tension as I have found the sweet spot with 28lbs.

It seems that Protech will be releasing new racquet models soon, I have just seen the 3rd generation of Protech Viper, dubbed Protech Viper 3 in black base with green patterns.
