Yonex Armortec 70MG Badminton Racquet Review

This my last review of Armortec series racquets from the selection of top-of-the-range and newly introduced in 2009.
Not that it matters much, but why Yonex chose to name this different to the rest of range is a mystery.

Yonex Armortec 50 Badminton Racquet Review

This is my third review of a new Armortec racquet. I must confess at the outset that I’m a big fan of the Armortec range.  There’s a racquet to suit any standard of play here.  As you’ve come to expect from a racquet in the Yonex family, you’re buying quality.

Yonex Armortec 900 Technique Racquet Review

If you’ve already read my other reviews, then you’ve already noticed certain similarities in basic Yonex racquet design. Notably, they are a good solid racquet with little “lateral” twist due to the built-in T piece.

The Yonex Armortec 900 Power Racquet

Those of us mature enough to remember “head heavy” racquets will remember our power shots with a wry smile…aaah, those were the days.
