UmmThe fact that LCW still uses the AT900P is somewhat an indication that the Armortecs aren't as inferior to the latest racquets as you might think.. still a valid point nonetheless.
Ants said Yonex will be coming out with the Armortec 1000 in a few months. It's not being neglected.![]()
Umm...I never think AT line is inferior actually. I only think that Yonex need to update their head heavy rackets line (Armortecs).
Personally, I like 4U headheavy rackets. Recently, I have turned to Victors as they have plenty of choices available. I am just hoping Yonex would update their Armortec line.
My wish ideal racket would be headheavy, 4U, short handle, Very Stiff, Isometric Head, Aerodynamic Frame.
Come on Yonex. Update your Armortec line. Otherwise people might switch to other brands.![]()
You kinda just describe the Armortec 800 DE
AT800 DE is stiff, not very stiff and long handle (not short at all).You kinda just describe the Armortec 800 DE
Exactly! I wish I have got a chance to get my hands on the old version of AT700. Too bad I do not have a chance to find one.AT800 DE is stiff, not very stiff and long handle (not short at all).
If at all the description sounds more like the Ti-8 or Ti-10 (both first gen) to me, only that they didn't come in 4U.
The most "perfect" Armortec was still the 1st gen AT700 no doubt. I kind of wish it had the Muscle Power bumps which I have tested and can confirm that they actually do retain the string tension.

I think Yonex should improve the grommets of the AT series, AT900P/T and AT700 when strung at higher tension, the grommets gets cut by the string easily and may penetrate into the frame after multiple restringing.
Maybe make the AT1000 have a stringing pattern like Arc8DX and guaranteed to take 27-28lbs.

AT800OF, also known as the do-or-die racquetIf he said very stiff,maybe 800OF is the best for him.One of the stiffest racket of AT.I like it..![]()
To be honest I never had any problem with the grommet sinking thing on my properly strung AT700, AT800 and AT900. The stringing technique (not exactly sure how but somehow it does seem so for my racquets) seems to have more of a factor to this compared to the model or design.They're very smart.Rather than to re-design the racket,they're making special grommets for those rackets.![]()
should be at990
sounds better and easier to type
