    Hello BC member ! I have recently cracked my at 500 and think i should get a replacement b4 it totally snaps:D. I really like the at 500 power and control. I'm leaning forward to the At700 or Woven 7 as a replacement, but i want to become more of a 60/100 offensive player. Can you guys recommend a racquet that has aspects close to the 500. Oh and some people i know from badminton tell me Sotx racquets were a waste of money because they suck or something. is it true? :( well thank you guys in advance and hoeing to hear from you guys :p

    The least I can say in this thread is that SOTX rackets are not a waste of money. They are quality rackets, well built. Quality of their rackets are equal or better to Yonex IMHO

    You should check if your Armortec is CD coded, then check if you still have a warranty. Sometimes Yonex will just send you back a new racquet.

    Cheers

    ns9k(s) is head light though... i would say the at900T is closer... of if you can find one mp88 is probably similar... or maybe at700?

    The balance point between the At500 and Ns9k is only 1 cm difference.

    That's a lot considering how 28cm is head light, 29cm is even, and 300 head heavy.

    AT900P for power or the MP99 will be good.

    Ashaway NanoDynamic 70 isn't bad. My bro has it strung @ 23lbs with BG66. Good for drops and smashing some good birdies and it is pretty light to control.
