    Why don't Yonex release a racket with actual mobile boosters around it? When air comes from one side, the mechanic blow out the air from the other side thus boosting the speed of the swing and as long enhance power by 20%???? ( Taufil backhand smash....350m/h????)

    Hope ArcSaber gets it =p

    I think that it's on the brink of just being horridly red. The red is just a little too bright. It seems like they just used the red from the new version of the AT 700 and increased the brightness a couple of shades. It would perhaps be fine if the grip wasn't red as well!! I personally don't think the red grip was necessary. Sure, it matches, but.., just overdoing it. Also, if you hover your cursor over the pictures of the site, the representatives can't label their pictures correctly. Typo!

    I heared that players in red are more likely to win.

    I really doubt that. Yes, red is traditionally a color connoting luck in the asian culture, of which I am a part of, but it is evident that the Yonex marketing scheme is just being unnaturally oriented toward that color, as expressed by many people. I do, however, want to try out the new grip, as it's a "soft leather".

    The softleather had a closer feel to the racket. However i would still suggest wrap it with the over grip.

    it had to be red because it is fire related. i just hope they know that blue fire is way hotter than red/orange fire. :D

    "Still, some skeptics think the findings may be just a statistical fluke."

    I guess I'm one of those skeptics. Firstly, this is only analysis of one Olympic. Second, 55% is not entirely that much, unless you're going to compare it to each individual color. If it's just red vs. others, then it really isn't. Yes, red can represent aggression and dominance, but I hardly believe that a specific color could "tip the scale" and produce some effect that heightens one's abilities.

    Ants,

    I wanted to double check, is the racket head heavy? As in it saids it on the racket itself, or you feel in your opinion it is head heavy.
