Type of Equipment: Badminton Racket, Brand: YONEX, Series: AT Series, Applicable Scope: All, Price Range: 1201-1500 Yuan, Equipment Description: The YONEX ARMORTEC 700, also known as ‘Old Seven’, was launched by YONEX in 2003 as a flagship professional-level racket. Many top-ranked male singles players in the world have chosen this model, including Lin Dan, who won the first male singles Olympic gold medal with this racket at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. 1. The racket frame features YONEX’s exclusive ‘Power Armor System’ titanium armor system design. The ‘gForce Ti’ special titanium armor alloy, integrated at the top of the racket frame, generates a greater gravitational effect compared to carbon fiber, enhancing the energy of the racket’s impact on the shuttlecock. gForce Ti is a special metal composite that can produce a gravitational effect twice that of carbon fiber. By positioning gForce Ti at the top of the racket frame for the first third of the racket, the inertial moment of the racket swing is increased, resulting in greater energy when striking the shuttlecock. 2. The innovative racket head edge compression structure enhances the racket face stability by 3%. The gForce Ti special metal composite titanium armor, combined with the edge compression structure at the top of the racket frame, effectively resists frame distortion and improves ball control. This 3% increase in racket face stability also brings a crisp and solid ‘metallic impact feeling’. 3. Higher string tension. Through repeated improvements in the durability of the racket frame, the recommended tension for the ARMORTEC racket strings has been significantly increased to meet the high-tension preferences of some players today. However, it is important to note that high string tension can pose potential risks and even cause injuries to a player’s wrists, elbows, and shoulders. 4. The titanium armor at the racket head enhances the gravitational effect, increasing the maximum smash speed by 4%. 5. YONEX, through analysis of the special grip techniques of top doubles players, has developed a new C.S.CAP (Control Support CAP) precision guidance racket handle cone cap, providing players with faster racket swing flexibility to adapt to increasingly fast doubles competition. The new handle cone cap of the ARMORTEC racket has expanded the practical area by 88% compared to traditional badminton racket handle cone caps. The innovative cone cap shape and larger contact surface make it easier for the thumb to grip and control the racket, making high-speed backhand swings faster and more precise.
6. Lighter shaft and handle weight. The lightweight Ultimum Ti nickel-titanium memory alloy shaft and lighter net weight of the racket body (3U/4U level) enable more flexible body movements and lighter footwork. 7. The racket frame shape is ISO square, expanding the sweet spot area for hitting on the racket face. 8. The internal connection between the racket frame and shaft uses a built-in T-joint connection structure to transmit greater hitting power. Racket frame material: Ultra-high-strength carbon fiber + G-Force Ti composite titanium armored alloy. Shaft material: High-strength carbon fiber + nickel-titanium memory alloy (Ultimum Ti).
