hey funny you should say that i have just had a demo armotec 250 for 3 weeks but personally i didn't find it very powerful. But i found it to be poor on defence this would be due to the heavy head. this i would say is more of a beginners racket as i didn't find it overly powerful. net play was good though i foudn that i could get good control around the net. I would try it out for yourself you may love it everyone is different i hope this helps you a bit.
