TheGr8Two 03-15-2005, 07:10 PM Here's some head-light rackets: Yonex NS 7000 Yonex NS 8000 Yonex MP 44 Yonex MP 66 Yonex ISO 75 MF Yonex ISO 65 LT Yonex Ti 7 Yonex Carbonex 8200 LT Yonex Carbonex 8400 Black Knight M2010 Black Knight M2012 wazzzzaaaas 03-15-2005, 08:04 PM are headlight racquets like the NS7000 and NS8000 good for smashing? or smashing players in general like myself?

You don't have to get a top of the line racket to play well. You should get a low to mid-range racket that won't hinder you and you should work on technique. Try ISO 75 MF, MP44, MP 66 if you want Yonex; otherwise, Black Knight M2010. M2012 is overall light, head-heavy; my mistake. ting03 03-16-2005, 10:49 PM i know that there are 2 colours for MP 88 the blue version and red version...but which one is the newer one? and i like the blue one, i think it looks awesome :D wazzzzaaaas 03-17-2005, 06:16 PM the blue is the new 2004 version tifam 03-17-2005, 09:30 PM (Originally Posted by wazzzzaaaas hey guys, is this racquet very light like the mp-100? because i have the 560-df which i bought at sports authority but its very low end and i feel like i need to move on up... ive used my friends mp-100 and i am wondering if the mp-88 2004 version is a light racquet.. thanks alot) The MP88 (both red and blue version) has flexible shaft, so that you could control it easily. It proves effectively on the defensive area but is not sure a weapon of offence.If you love it, you ought to strengthen your wrist for the smashes, salvage its heavy head property.Good luck!:) Neosakai 03-17-2005, 09:45 PM Errr isn't MP88 4u? According to www.yonex.com tifam 03-18-2005, 02:45 AM At Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, we can buy the MP88 4U (distributed code TW or TH, including red version several years ago and blue version now).They really exit! And may be suitable for female players! napee 03-18-2005, 03:47 AM Errr isn't MP88 4u? According to www.yonex.com (http://www.yonex.com) you are referring to the US site only. look at other yonex official sites (www.yonex.co.jp (http://www.yonex.co.jp) for example) you'll see different model/weight combination. we have mostly the 3U here. Neosakai 03-18-2005, 12:11 PM http://www.yonex.co.jp/intl/badminton/products/muscle.html The yonex international site has it as 4U too =P Or do you mean the japanese site itself? |
