    I have not tried the HL 8800, but if I was given the choice i would go for the 8800... If it was designed by benny lee, it simply cannot be worse than an AT30 :)

    ben lee is a great racket. However I would say its durability is poor. But it is much better than the At 30. However for both their prices you should try and buy a panda power trinity.

    :eek:. well, it figures, seeing as you live in sweden. Wish i could send you one, though i dunno if it could stand the tension you seem to use.:eek:

    As for the 8800, i cant say. There are multiple versions out there, so its hard to determine which are durable vs. extremely breakable. I believe the newest one i have seen is a thicker widebody box frame, so i believe its durable. however i haven't really seen any strung to 30 pounds. Power generation is good, and speed is decent, fast enough for me.

    the Dragon can be seen as the top of HL and it's very good. I strung my all my dragons at 32 lbs. But it's not recommended, if you want to, try stringing it at 24-26. Very fast and it's also a bit light. It's a no brainer if you're comparing it to Armortec 30. Isn't Armortec 30 a basic racket? Go for the HL and you'll have no regrets.
