The control-minded sibling of the ArmorTec 900 Power, aimed by Yonex at tactical and semi-attacking players. It is still stiff and head heavy, but one reviewer found it fast for its weight and good at blocking and placing shots.
- Blends power with placement for tactical doubles and singles
- One reviewer rated defence, attack and control all highly
- Stiff shaft keeps the face steady
- Head weight tires the arm and is less nimble at the net than lighter frames
- Low 24 lb max tension
- Discontinued; only second-hand or old stock remains
Where to buy
None of the UK shops we check sell it right now, so it may only be available abroad. Researched price: about £200.
