Armortec 900 Technique Overall Review Although it may suprise some, the Arcsaber 7 is a very, very high grade racket. It is very well balanced and does not take long to get used to. Another suprise might be the Z-Slash's place on the list. When played with, the hype that came with it is automatically gone. One good thing about Yonex at the moment is their new Voltric series. Making a lot of spaces in the list, it is very, very impressive. Especially the Voltric 80; although more head heavy than even the Armortec series of rackets, it is very impressive, offering very high maneuverability and great control. The same could possibly be said for the Voltric 70, although obviously downgraded. Another suprise (for me anyway) is the head lightness of the Armortec 900 Power, although many would think it would be head heavy, it is actually a lot lighter than even the nanospeed rackets. I would talk about the Arcsaber 10 although everyone knows it's amazing . Overall, the Arcsaber 10 still wins out in every field, whether you want control, power or just nice colours; if you have the money, get it. shebbear2 My first review
100% agreed. The Arcsaber 7 is a truly awesome racket - very understated in my opinion. Whilst I don't own one I do have 2 Arcsaber 10s.
Same. Yeah that's what I thought about the Arcsaber 7 too. When I first tried it (a couple of days ago actually) I just thought it was incredibly underestimated and . Although the 10 is still better, it's qualities don't surpass that of the 7's a great deal.
have you actually tested all the rackets out or is this your assumption ? , this look like a catalog page from direct-e-sport with all the latest model .....was that how you put them in order ? and where are the Ti series , and those NS9000 , 8000 ,AT600 ,800 etc , muscle power 100 ,99 . you got the at700 so you are not really discounting the discontinue models ..... unworthy but It make a great shopping list thou !
Yeah Yeah I did test them all out. You don't have to agree you know. It's just my opinion, like I said.
what tension were you testing them at and with what strings ......., so you tested all those 25 yonex rackets yeh (all at the same time , yeh), and did you buy them all or did Yonex rep lent them to you !.......... lol what a joker !
How long did you test these rackets for ? Tension ? Strings used ? Shuttles ? Although this is your opinion, it does look like you have just went through the YY catalogue and named a few rackets in order. I have actually tried the 5DX and found it to be good, it's definetly not the worst Arcsaber by any stretch of imagination. I highly doubt you own all these rackets, so how have you tested them all ?
I also enjoy my new 5DX (I might almost say love it, its my new baby thats made playing even more fun and satisfying than my admittedly-old Ti-7 Light that I rather liked). Many of the other more expensive ArcSabers are above my price range (though had a few swings at a shuttle with the 8DX strung pretty tight and thought it a good racquet). I was previously tempted by the Armortecs (70MG, 700), but trying the 5DX just felt like a noticable step closer to my ideal racquet, I rather like the magenta-purple-ish bright colour, and I was able to get a pretty awesome deal thanks to the lovely guy in MoreSports in Colchester who's really knowledgeable and has a large range in stock that you can try properly in store. Why was it so hard to find a good range and store to try them properly in London?... Honestly! In particular, anyone ever tried swinging one in LillyWhites - now allegedly owned by DirectSports and due to head downhill I think. Meagre range, no space in the shop to move, especially when packed at weekends and when the queue for the (small) lift is 10-strong and takes a couple of minutes to find/get to among the punters, taking the stairs (telling yourself its good exercise) to the 5th floor for racquets is a little offputting. Ugh... Slightly derailed the topic, but got over my rant. Soz...
