First is a At700 with HK code however it is labelled with SP on the shaft.
Third pic is new Mp100 with TP code.

It is quite common to find SP version with HK engraved on cone, other than HK and SP, we also can find IP on the cone from HK retailer.

For TP, it is my first time see it, Thailand National Team version?? Where do you get it?

Thanks for enlighten me, its not common to me since i don't have any HK coded rackets. And i dont really bother to find out about them.

ants what weight is the AT700?

The At700 is a 3UG5

i think i read somewhere that CP refers to chinese provincial, and CN refers to chinese national...

might that be the same situation here?

Then, how to explain UP, IP, etc? I mean, in US, we only have states.... :rolleyes:

CP is used to replace CN in National Team code. The offical products inside China is using CH.

So, that why I guess TP for Thailand National Team....................

could it be Taiwan national team? :p

Countries with T starting:
Taiwan
Thailand
Turkey
what else?

well, i always figured they only use the new code for large enough batches of a racquet that warrent's its own batch code. now if a provincial chinese team wanted a big enough quantity of AT700s, or MP99s, or anything else, depending on the needs of the team, then yonex would make a batch just for the team, labelling them with CP perhaps.
same goes with CN for the national team i thought.

i was aware of the CH code for normal production sales for china.

but with so many players in china, the required number of racquets was high enough to warrent the individual codes for each level, whereas you would never see a special code for a production batch for canada, or united states, for example, where the need isn't there. the number of racquets made for normal production under CD and US is enough for general market and team consumption.

oh jeez, theres a UP code too?? where does that one go?

Actually, I think CN is the code for Canada ;)

The rackets that players got in the world championships this year were all UP coded.

which players? all players or the US players?

All players. Why would I pay attention to just the US players? I would rather be more intersted in Indonesian players.

FYI, CDN is the code for Canada

but no, CD is the yonex code for canada. but we all know their coding isn't the international accepeted standard of country abbreviations!

Since Yonex is not in telecom business. :D

Just reviving an older thread, I'm just curious about IP which is meant to be for Indonesia. Since CP racket is for the Chinese player, any chance that IP translates to Indonesia Player???

So what's TP stand for???

So what's TP stand for???

Only Ant knows where he got the racket from:rolleyes:

maybe TP could stand for Taipei? :rolleyes:

could it be Taiwan national team? :p

May be for those Top Players!!! :D

I've seen an AP coded racket in australia. I emailed the yonex rep for australia asking him about it and he told me it has to be a fake racket. I don't believe it's fake though. It looks too real.

it's coded HK but i see PBSI logo on that AT700.. odd..
PBSI: Persatuan Bulutangkis Seluruh Indonesia (basically means indonesian badminton federation/association)

It's common on all sunrise rackets.

oh ok.. didn't know that
thought PBSI should only come from indo

Now, we can minimize our target into Sunrise's covered areas. Does anybody has the idea which Sunrise's covered countries started by "T"?

I think one of the guys here mentioned the name of the country already ;)

Smae case what forrest said. My ti-10 is printed with SP but evgraved with IP

There is no SP after MP100, should this racket should be for Taiwan or Thailand players!!!

I used a Nanospeed 7000 with the country code IP on the cone today. It had so SP painted on the shaft and no PBSI logo. Where is this racket from? I couldnt ask the yonex rep (he owned it) an he was talking to someone but its not fake so can anyone explain the racket?

it could be a special code that yonex uses for there reps, maybe it stands for "instructional purposes" :p

I have a suspicion that its from Indonesia or Japan but i'm not sure

I have a suspicion that its from Indonesia or Japan but i'm not sure

it's not going tobe from japan because thats JP, i don't know what the indonesia code is but i doubt it would be IP :confused:

I think it is from Indonesia as earlier in the thread it was suggested that it stood for 'Indonesia Player', similar to CP which is Chinese player. The Yonex rep apparently said it was different to the UK version, although i couldn't tell much difference

it makes sense now. how could it be different? did it look different, or perform different? i know you have already said you couldn't tell but was it meant to be superior?

I'm not going to start another discussion here. But IP rackets and SP rackets feels almost the same. However the CP ones definately feel different than the IPs.

That's great, one more persons can feel the difference of CP rackets....... :D

Other BCers, don't debate this topic in this thread, there are already too much discussions of CN and CP quality in BC. :D

Just want to share with you guys one of the racket of mine.

from Korean team?

Yeah.. The racket was born on Christmas day..

Good question... it made me realise that that there are people that still works on Christmas Day. OverTime pay?

well, at least they appear to close for new year's day. out of the over 2500 serial numbers that have been posted so far, i haven't seen one made on 1 Jan before.

from Korean team?
KP is supposedly the country code for North Korea O_O

yay KP does exist!!!!!!!!

korean national team i guess.... myth unveiled. ;)

Hmmm.. it might be a Fake.. :p

Chrismas is not holiday in Japan.

is it not?
i always thought christmas would be a holiday in japan, although having said that, i don't really know enough about the country to comment ...

Oh yes.. there are some celebrate Christmas in Japan especially the young ones.

People in Japan do celebrate Christmas due to the great Western influence. Christmas holidays begin like a day before Christmas in Japan. I think people just celebrate it because everyone else does.. it's quite funny because people celebrate Christmas then on the new-year's eve, everyone goes to shinto/etc temples to wish themselves good luck. :eek:

Anyway.. that KP racquet is weird..

i know it is for Killer Players!!

North Koreans play badminton ? :) Maybe they do. :O

Don't you know South Korean's go to North Korea for secret training?
Blurry.. you are right.. KP= Killer Player

Another Rare Find... NS9900 with MA Code.

Another Rare Find... NS9900 with MA Code.
LOL, that racquet has the same birthday and month as me, only 22 years younger.

Are these racquets supposed to be factory production anomilies?

What's MA? there are so many different coding for yonex racquets now a days. and how'd you find it ant?

MA means Malaysian Ants :P eheheh just joking. This would be the IP version for Malaysian Players. Instead of coding it MP.. MA Code is used. Given to me by the player.
Slightly heavier than the 3U of Nanospeed 9900. I suspect the weight is 2U. Compared it with my 2UG5 JP and the Sample NS9900 that i have. Almost the same weight but feel slightly heavier.

OK, I am not spreading rumours here, but it seems like UK coded rackets are pretty rare. As far as I know, Yonex only has a relatively small market share in Britain compared to Carlton and Head. There were a few fellow players who asked me to get the premium priced UK coded rackets for them. The logic and reason behind this is that European players are generally stronger than Asian players in general, i.e. the rackets they sell there need to be 'stronger' as well as they do not want to recieve too many return broken items. That's why they say UK coded rackets are similar to JP rackets in terms of 'quality', if you believe them.

I had few UK coded rackets. Most of it is AT900T where it was first used officially in tournaments. I would say not too bad.

Another New AT900 Power MA Coded in Collection

Maybe not so rare as Ants.. But still ... one of my GPs...
