question to ants..
How are your AT800 strung? Did you get anything from the Yonex_open stringers??
cheers,

Yonex Japan has just replied to my earlier re striging pattern for the Amortec 800. They have instead emailed me detailed specs of the AT800 but no stringing pattern. So I have gone back to them a second time on just the stringing pattern question. Will keep you posted if I get anything.
I strung it at the same pattern from the post. Yes they did email me , its the same and some details of the AT800. They told me there is another pattern.. hmm seem weird to me.Originally Posted by twobeer
weird..

I think the stringing instruction is for all other rackets but not for the Armotec 800. I just strung one today, here is what I did:
Main (vertical) skip 8,10,12,14
Cross (horizontal) tie off top 5, start cross at 8. Bottom tie off at 6.
It is not very hard to string, also you will notice the tie off and share holes are bigger. All other holes are very small and sharing hole with another string is almost impossible.
Have fun!!
here is the pattern:

wow, that's pretty weird, I just counted from the picture, you have 22 strings for main, and 21 for cross.
Usually I string rackets with 22 strings in main and 23 strings for cross....guess I have done too much on the strings then
That's right, I think what Yonex try to do is open up the gap between string so the shuttle sit in between the string more similar to what they do in tennis racket. In tennis it suppose to get better spin, i guess for badminton maybe better control?? Warning for string breaker - this racket might break more strings

HAHAHAThat's right, I think what Yonex try to do is open up the gap between string so the shuttle sit in between the string more similar to what they do in tennis racket.

I guess there are lots of string breakers ready for this racket then
it could be the angle of shot but your racket looks distorted a bit.
try comparing with an unstrung AT800, length and width.

send one to cooler and he will have a nice bend on it
It was a quick picture I took during work, sorry

a little off topic, but I have to say about the paint job of AT800 is kind of weird on the green one......I hope they just made the black paint of the frame to be just green....then extend it to the silver........
Sometimes, Yonex rackets look good....sometimes they don't. I wonder if Yonex have many artists in there, and I guess different designer has different style....They really should just print the designer's name on the shaft, also, then we will just buy the one we like
PS: Some companies will release the designer's name on the product....so people will just choose the designer's work directly, which is easier for customers to choose (but not necessary to be good for company's business)
I have just received the AT800 stringing pattern from Yonex. It is similar to the one posted by Yuemokau, except that is is much clearer and showing different colours for the main and cross strings.
Perhaps Twobeer can transfer it to this thread if I email him the pattern. I am now off to Shenzhen to buy some stringing tools from Eagnas in Shenzhen and will be back this evening to send the pattern out.
This is the stringing pattern from yonex
Yes, this is it. However, the one from Yonex comes with a magnification selection of up to 1600%. The one you have shown is 25% magnification. The 50% one looks much better and clearer. Can you transfer this magnification selection option her?
I can't there is a limit for picture size in the webpage.
Can you then split the 50% magnification into two parts, first page showing the racquet frame head at the top and the second page showing the throat part with instructions?
testing ..........
I tire off @ B7 for main (2), and start cross from T6, and tire off @ B8. Therefore I have 22 main and 22 cross.
I don't think Kliper's pattern must be wrong, overall, just find the closest gromment to tire the knots, to prevent too much tension loss.
Is this a yonex's typo?
NEW STRING PATTERNS The durability of a frame improves 7% with a new string pattern.
In a doubles game, 10 o'clock and 2'clock part of the frame is damaged in many cases by contact to a partner's racquets. The frame of Armortec-800 does nothave the grommet hole which let's two strings pass, and all grommet holes let only one string pass.Consequently, the grommet holes at 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock could be made smaller and durability improved 7%.
I think yonex should had done the same to holes A13,A15, C13, C15 too

Great with the pattern!!
If you email it to me I'll see if I can get it working trough a link..
is it PDF originally??

It is in image/jpet file type. Strange, the pattern posted by ants and double look the same but the one by double is a bit clearer. Will email you and see if you can look better.
Maybe i save it in a lower resolution.. thats why mine not so clear.
I think the reason your main strings tie-off are at 7T (7th grommet at the throat end) is that you loop the main string up into 8H (8th grommet at the top), over into 11H, down 12T, over 10T, up into 10H, over into 9H, and down into 9T, ending with a tie-off at 7T. The looping of the main string at the top of the frame from 8H is the opposite of the Yonex's loop, which is from the throat end. I think the throat end of the frame can take stress better than the head end. That is how I rationalize why Yonex chooses to have the end long loop for the mains at the throat end. A few stores in Hong Kong do use your method, but those that were shown Yonex's pattern have since switched to Yonex's pattern.
Re your cross, you are just shifting the cross string pattern one string or one grommet higher. Am I right?
