    Those specs look pretty demanding

    The specs suggest its extremely head heavy and extremely stiff... looks impossible to wield :crying::(

    . There is still hope after reading the technology page it seems to say it's flexible but stable(extra stiff?) and it says the head size reduces the feeling of head heaviness so have to wait I suppose

    The concept looks interesting, and more and more like an evolved AT700 (same smash based, increasingly head heavy but now with increased manoeuvravility for the new game system).

    But the ugly bright green colour is a turn off for me; hoping that the LTD colour may be better :D

    That's the same thing the marketing said about the AT700; extra stiff but elastic shaft helped by the Ultimum Ti.

    Not every release should be catered to suit everyone of all levels so I don't see the problem here :p. And it is "recommended" (by Yonex) for advanced male players only but suitable for advanced females as well (iirc the meaning of the recommendations). But who here has that held back, ever ... :D. I see we have a new NS1000 & 3000 as well.

    This reminds me a lot of LCW's defeat at WC2011.

    Being a fan/user of AT 700 myself, I surely hope it will suit my individual needs.:)

    :D Welll absolutely no surprises so far with the launch of the website (only the numbers differ in these test results). Pretty much expected this stiffness bar, which if you were unaware is pretty much where the Z-Slash was placed as well in the JP catalogue (now looking at the current one it is actually placed on par with the 80). So in part depending on whether it has a short or long handle (looks a short one?) we will just have to wait and see about that :).
    Chart position already penciled in as exactly like in the AT700 pic ;)

    Errm pretty sure everything you just posted has already been posted before [​IMG];) (refresh browser?)
