So i finally decided to get a new racquet after using a really bad one and i chose MP66, and Armortec 500 because of the mid range price but i'm having trouble deciding which one to get... i want something that gives me power in smashes but also gives me control over drops and also nets... if there's any other racquets you can recommend thats not too pricey...thanks for your help
oh i forgot to say that i'm a beginner to intermediate level player, somewhere in between so if you have any recommendations on which one please help thanks
funny you ask about 2 rackets that are in extreme cases... mp66 is flex and headlight at500 is mid and headheavy if you know your style or what you used to, there shouldn't be much problem in choosing the two rackets...
Acually the AT500 is stiff. I bought an AT500 and I love it, it has great power and pretty good defense, I would recomend that if you want more power
unless you have extra stiff in the scale, at500 is definitely not on a stiff side but i guess everyone has their scale differently
erm mind telling us wad are ur strenght and weaknesses? like u hav power but u nid more control or vice versa
i used to have a at500 and i love it!!! but until someone step on it and it is broken T.T and now i got a new racket but not as good as my at500 =/ to me that mp 66 isnt as good as at500 so i recomment buying the at500 instead of mp 66
i much prefer the armortec 500, the power is unbelievable. The only let down is the colour plz reply thx
don't get the mp66, as you get better you'll definitely wish for more stiffness and head heaviness in this racket if it has to be a mid-range yonex AT-500 is a good choice
Wow, yea you really did pick the two extremes. The AT500 is a pretty good racket for the price and it's preformance is quite nice, especially in terms of power, but imo, the control is lacking. The mp66 is quite the other story, if you play doubles and these two rackets are your only choices, then the mp66 is the way to go. If possible, get the mp88 which is quite a nice overall imo. Other choices from yonex include cab30ms, which is probably one of the best balanced racket from yonex and for it's price, it preforms remarkably well. Another would be the TI-10, but it's a bit hard to use, at least for me. Outside of yonex, I would say the Woven-8 is a good choice.
