after searching up info on this forum about MP 55, people said it was head heavy like the Ti 10 and MP 100.. but the MP55 i got from Taiwan (with a TW serial) 2u5g says "even balance" on it.. wats with that?
=/ also realised wat an old outdated racket i'm still using hahaha :o

=/ also realised wat an old outdated racket i'm still using hahaha :oIt's because it's a 2U racket, which makes you feel heavy.

=/ also realised wat an old outdated racket i'm still using hahaha :o...haha...hey...it's good to know i'm not alone...i'm still using mine too...except i bought mine in November. anyway...yeah...the MP55 should be even-balanced. i've noticed that it might feel a bit head-heavy at times when i use a smaller grip...but my guess is that the reason is that since we both have 2U's...the weight makes it hard to tell cause the racquet overall is heavier than other ones so the weight makes it feel kinda head-heavy or just heavy overall. unless the racquet is really light like 3U and 4U, the type balance might not be as obvious since the whole racquet feels "heavy" and is hard to tell where the majority of the weight is coming from...just a guess...:rolleyes:

The MP55 is a heavy beast and to me was a bit head heavy, but it packs a lot of punch for the money ;)

It's because it's a 2U racket, which makes you feel heavy.so.. the racket is even balanced but it feels head heavy cuz its 2U? :confused:
btw thx for the response!!

honestly i dont know if its head heavy or not (by feel) cuz i haven't played with any other racket (except the borrowed Ti-10 once or twice) :p

Comparing my AT800DE and my MP55......MP55 is not head heavy....at all....

2U MP55 is not head heavy. Rather, it is overall heavy, as bluejeff pointed out. Same thing with 2U Ti 10 and 2U MP 77; some people mistake head heavy with overall heavy. I have a 3U Ti 10 and found that is even-balanced/slightly head heavy.

If you want to feel the difference between head heavy and even balance, you should try the Armortech series.

It's all relative, that, and Yonex tends to call almost everything even balance, lol.

I have an MP55 and an MP77. MP77 is still classified as even balance, though there are few who wouldn't say that it isn't one of the most head heavy rackets ever.

Relatively speaking, my 2U MP55 is not as head heavy as an MP77, but you could say that it is relatively head-heavier than more balanced rackets, say... my Cab30ms.

But it's all relative. There's no exact world accepted definition for 'even balanced' so what you hear from others may not apply to your own impressions, you can only get relative impressions.
