    For those who love AT700, The Armortec700 have a new color. But there is not much different. Just that the RED color is much brighter than the previous ones. I'm not sure weather it will be available worldwide. Will post some pics of it when i get them next month.

    I just hope Yonex don't change the racket spec dramatically.

    Well... I think they run out of paints.:D

    Anyway, ANTS, really appreciate such first hand info; because I was about to purchase another piece of the AT700. It seems to be much more easier to manipulate than the Ti-10.

    Thanks.

    The color that the existing AT700 is called Diamond Red. The new one is called Japan Red. So go figure out. :)

    i personally think a brighter red would make the racquet look a bit better, lol its all good with me as long as they dont change anything else.

    Just wondering, could it be same as ti-10 new colour, the graphite used is high modulus rather than ultra high modulus?

    Basically the specs is the same. Just the color is different. But i dont think it is for international distribution at the moment.
