i was just wondering if the new ti-10 will be abit different then the old ti-10, now talking about the color but the material or the structure of the racquet... anyone have any ideas about it??

its a very different racquet.
more head light.
supposedly lower modulus graphite.
more flexible.

overall, i feel it has been watered down.

refer to http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31598 for more details.

someone go buy a new ti-10 and take some photos to let us see if it is a real yonex product. No one has yet proven it's a real or fake yet.

Yes, it is real as many Yonex HK dealers are getting them in stock.

I certainly agree on more pictures part. It would be nice to see some close-up pictures of lettering and frame pictures.

maybe it is a SP product line.
I'm surprised that yonex altered original ti-10 spec so much and still call it a ti10. If that is the case, the AT700 should be called ti-10 too because it's head heavy, med stiff, red and has ti. The AT700 is closer to the original ti10 than this new fangle yellowish one.


Hmmm, thinking aloud, i think i know why yonex did that.

I think this thread discusses about the new Ti-10 better:

And these are pictures of Ti-10 and the new one side by side from bbesports.com:

And I think it is confirmed that the new color scheme of Ti-10 is real :)

How are you people getting info on this racket?

Is there actually "info" out there?

BTW, on the new colored Ti-10, it sez "high modulus graphite head light racket made in japan" on the shaft instead of "high modulus graphite made in japan" like it sez on the original one.

Also it's the newer paint that chips off.

Time to massively stockpile the old Ti-10 :p

Anyone selling? :D

I assume you ment to say Ultra!

I own a 2U Ti10 now... call it "Tank" cause it feels like one, hits like one and dozes anyone!:D:cool:
You have to be physically fit to handle it well to its full potential...
So a little head light(er) wouldn't be a problem if your technique is sufficient:rolleyes:

Reading bout this "new" Ti10, I'm willing to pick up a 3U/G3...
Problem is: they're not available in Holland...
Will find out a way (when my wallet is bulking again:p)

BTW: anyone know what price it is?:confused:

i have been using the original Ti10( red t10) for about 2 years now. love the racket(3U version as 2U version is too heavy to me).

i have recently bought 2 of the new Ti10(yellow) racket. though it is stated headlight, the racket still packs lots of power.

the yellow t10 is more flexible and gives more whip when hitting the bird as compared to the red one. you can really feel the racket snap back when you swing at the racket. the racket gives better power for ppl using wrist snaps to generate power than a full arm swing .

it also swings much faster making defence a lot easier. though e racket is suppose to be headlight. i find that it does lose out in terms of power at all to the red t10.

overall i am sold to the new t10, thus i bought 2 of them and i dont see why one need to stock up e old version. just my 2 cts worth after 2 weeks w the new t10

Hi surge, just curious about sth... isit u meant "it doesn't lose out in terms of power at all to the red Ti10" as the red Ti10 was supposed to be head-heavy and very powerful. :confused: Correct me if i am wrong :o ......coz if the new Ti10 was as powerful as the red old Ti10 and yet less stiff...will be very tempted to give it a try. :D

Coz use to swing the Ti10 using my friend's racket...find it very powerful.....but very very stifffff. :(

Thanks for the info and pictures Surge. Is the new Ti-10 just SE Asia sales specific? Cause I have not seen nor heard anything about it in the U.S.

exactly, i havent heard of anything about a new ti-10. a friend told me that his aunt who owns a badminton shop in china stop getting the old ti-10, so i guess this must be the reason why.

I think this thread discusses about the new Ti-10 better:

crap, that was the thread i was thinking of linking, but i wasn't paying attention and got the wrong one. :o

i have a feeling that the new ti-10 is going to be alot like mp-100. muscle power, iso head and ti-mesh are on both racquet. only difference is that the new ti-10 has a bigger ti-mesh surface area but dont have ult-ti

I just think Yonex should incorporate the latest gimmicks into the new Ti-10 and keep the old version's characteristics alive. Incorporation of AT series's metal reinforcement into the head would be a good idea.

But, AT is only available in 3U.

Hmm, I am going to wait for few weeks before buying. I hope the new Ti-10 is not SP exclusive racket.

Since Ti-10 is now a head-light racket, it makes more sense to me to get the 2U version.

i have 2 mid-2005 Ti-10s mfg in 2Q 2005.

Based on comparison with 3u MP88 (head heavy - even more so than 4u mp88) and MP23 (even balance) i would say they are definitely not head light. but on the other hand they are not super head heavy ether like 3u mp88 . I would put them between MP23 and MP88 in terms of head heaviness.

i thought 2U would be my traning racquet while I would use 3U for regular games but i find myself using 2U most of the time.

the old t10 is more stiff and if you are caught off position, it is more difficult to generate power . but for the new t10, you can try to whip it w the wrist and you will see what i mean. it is definitely less stiff. power wise like i mention earlier, i still feel that the power of my smashes are still the same( not that they are powerful). i can say more but definitely not less. also when i switch between the 2 rackets, i can feel that defence w the new is much easier.

just for the record, the 2U old Ti10 and the 3U old Ti10 are worlds apart!!!

i started playing w the 3u and got a 2u thinking it can give me more power, but it was so difficult to play w that i sold it off to a friend who uses armortec700 and wanted to try it. then he also stop using the Ti10 cos he also felt the same, very difficult to use.

Surge,

The old Ti-10 appers to require more arm power to be correct then? If so, I guess that's why a friend of mine is looking for a replacement Ti-10 since his 2I broke sometime last year. The way he described the racket to me is that it's like a hammer.

He recently purchased a Ti-SP SX as an alternative to the Ti-10 for now (should be recieving it sometime this week), but I deep inside, he wants to get an old Ti-10 back.

When i first saw the new ti10, i thought it was musclepower30...

Send an email to yonex.be to gather some info bout the Ti series... and if available in Europe...
In answer to that I got an email which stated:

Ti-series are discontinued for quite some time now....
Beware of Asian racquets, Ti racquets from Asia
are most likely counterfits.

Regards....

Just makes you wonder if their market-strategy is based on selling more Nano's and AT/MP then the trusty old Ti10:confused:

Try sending an email to Yonex Sunrise and Yonex Japan and see what htey say.

But, AT is only available in 3U.

huh:confused: i have AT500 4U:D:p the "new" ti-10 is everywhere here in singapore. i can hardly find the old one anymore...both are the same price btw. cheers!:)

I jus recently got my hands on a 3U version and had been using a 2U version prior. I can tell you for me it was impossible to play singles with a 2U but 3U was probably the ONLY racket I can whip a bird end to end from my forehand corner... which used to be impossible for me. The 2Us are not very "difficult to use" but it does lack defense if you dont grip it WAY up at the cone (too heavy)

Matt, I think hammer is an understatement... a Tank is more like it.....

As for your friend's TiSP SX, he is definately going to be disappointed. Ti-10 2U is nothing like the TiSP SX...

Initial impressions from my friend about two months ago when wielding TiSP SX, he liked it. Unfortunately, back at the time when the racket first arrived, it was DOA because the head was cracked which was caused by an incorrect string job.

Hopefully he will be able to do a try the TiSP SX the comming Sunday assuming the replacement does arrive this week. He is comming with me to Richmond so his rackets can be stringed up at Tads (we are both in the Seattle and play badminton at the Univeristy of Washington).

Since I'm curious about the Ti-10, I decided ordered a 3UG5, and specifically asked to get a 2004 dated racket or earlier.

As many of you guys know, I have been doing the Ti-10 group ordering for lots of people.

Today, another shipment came with 2004 coded rackets, and this again made my finding more solid as the sample size is getting larger and larger. Now the timeline is: Some time after 2004 Nov, Yonex changed the balance of Ti-10.
(The reason I said this is because I don't have enough of Ti-10s coded in every month between 2004 Nov - 2005 March.)

BlueJeff, just curious why can't you get 3UG5 as group order?

Why isn't the new Ti-10 on the Yonex Japan website?

BlueJeff, just curious why can't you get 3UG5 as group order?

Because I was lazy and didn't want to call other shops :p
The shop I dealt with didn't have any 3U5 in stock.

Well, if I get them from other shops, the price will go up as different store has difference pricing. In addition, shipping cost will go up because shipping cannot be combined if you buy them from different stores.

Why isn't the new Ti-10 on the Yonex Japan website?
Yonex Japan website only lists the rackets that are currently selling in the mainland Japan market.

i've always found that weird about yonex. shouldn't the mother company website contain all their products? and it should say where they are available and post the link there so that people would not be lost as to where to find a particular racket. their marketing and customer relations leave much to be desired...:mad:

Well Yonex rather people didn't buy the Ti-10. First they tried discontinue it. That didn't work. So now they print the name Ti-10 on a racket that really isn't a Ti-10, and people continue to want to buy it. So what do poor Yonex have to do to stop people buying Ti-10 ? :D

I tried placing an order for 10-20 old style Ti-10's with Luxis. They didn't even bother to reply. Seems the supply of it is running dry. Anyone have an alternative source ?

so, is the balance change associated only with the color change?

so, is the balance change associated only with the color change?

Well actually if I read Bluejeff's finding correctly, the balance point has been changed even for the same old color scheme (red/black/silver).

So, for the exactly the same color scheme, there could be slight difference in the balance point between Ti-10 produced in 2004 (and before) and Ti-10 produced in 2005, well around November 2004 to be exactly.

I hope I am right in reading Bluejeff's thread and didn't give you false information. :)

I hope I am right in reading Bluejeff's thread and didn't give you false information. :)

I agree and I think Bj was refering to the classic Ti-10.

As Yonex do not publish BP's for their rackets and didn't commit themselves to maintaining the precision, I believe its reasonable for them to come out with rackets that vary in BP from batch to batch. I don't believe they have deliberately shifted the BP.

All 5 of my Mid 2005 classic Ti-10's are balanced at 295 when strung and with factory grip. As I prefer my rackets to go a bit faster, so I modded a couple to shift the BP to 290, which improved defence and power at the same time. That also increased my arm ache too.

BJ, does that include 3Us as well or just 2U (since you mentioned about not getting any 3Us from group orders)

It includes 3U.

I don't buy rackets just for group orders only :p I buy lots of rackets for various reasons :p

No, it includes the later batch(es) of the old color.

The red word should be "after" , and I don't know the exact month in 2005, but should be the later ones. :)

having used both rackets, i can confirm that they are NOT identical. think main difference is the flex. not the balance.

The stiffness differs too? Which one is more flexible?

The classic Ti-10 is obviously more stiff. The only way to increase power on a racket that uses less repulsive material is to increase the flex. It's a bit of a cheap trick.

It includes 3U.

No wonder these 2 ti10s 5200121 051047SP and 5554487 190557SP (both 3u) feels very much different. Both are 3u. The former really packs a punch but the latter lacks that POWER! and i thought it was psychological.

My preference is still the former type.

The stiffness differs too? Which one is more flexible?

the new has more flex. thus giving the illusion of 'more power' cos it snaps back. the old is more accurate in terms of placing though. i can place better w the old, but defensively, i find the new gives me more 'time' as the racket is easier to swing and and late wrist snap can still generate enough power to clear shuttle from danger when attacked from time to time

:eek: ... I was looking around on eBay and i found this Ti-10 with a new colour scheme. Now, the seller is ElegantSurplus, and I've bought from him before and i know that he is a 100% Genuine eBay Seller of racquets. I thought that these pics were of a Nanospeed 6000, but they're not. Anyways I like the old colour better, wat do you guys think?

Hope its not fake.

this racket is not a fake. most reputable shops in singapore carry this racket. i have bought 2.

if this is a fake, then it is a dam good fake. cos the racket is great!!!

and also it has fooled everyone including the shops...

one thing though, the paintjob at e cone sucks. when i change the grip of the racket....the black paint on e cone including the wordings came off w the tape!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Lesson learned... Don't tape the cone!!

Lesson learned... Don't tape the cone!!

:mad: :mad: the old Ti10 and even my S$35 proace have no problem taping the cone....

I think EastDevil does not doubt the new Ti-10, I think he just hopes that the ebay seller does not sell fake new Ti-10. :)

About the cone paint, I experienced the same thing before, then I started wrapping plastic wrap around the cone before I put the grip every time I re-grip my racket.

hey eastdevil, have we met and played games together before?

ive been playin with Ti 10 for ages, first with the original, then Ti 10 long and now im gonna pick up my new Ti 10 from the post office tomo,
cant wait to get it strung and hit with it
Currently i have 5 Ti-10, 1 short 1 long 2U/G5 and 2 3U/G5 and now i have a yellow one lol
i hear its supposed to be a more balanced racket and makes up for the power with its flex,
ive loved the Ti 10 and hope this is gonna be better than the old one

BTW Beingpower and Elegantsurplus seem to be legit sellers, ive gotten a total of 3 rackets from the 2 and they seem to be fine

That's good to hear.

Hey Archangel, since youve ordered from Beingpower on ebay, how long does the shipping usually take?

usually 3 weeks tops,
if ur unlucky and the customs decides to open it up then it may take longer
but thats never happend to me with badminton rackets,
i got kendo equipment from jp b4, and maybe it was classified as weapons or something, customs held it for nearly a month and delayed the delivery time so much >.<
so it depends on the guys in vancouver, if theyre in a nice mood then ur good to go

I am not sure, but seems like Yonex messed around with the new Ti-10. Just got the new Ti-10, 3U after I broke my old one (also 3U). The new Ti-10 feels lighter than the old one somehow. Mix feeling about the new Ti-10. The colour is okay but much prefer the red and black :rolleyes:

It just doesn't feel right. In terms of accuracy, I feel that the new Ti-10 is better but in terms of power....I can't seem to bombard as well as when I was using the old Ti-10. That brutal power that the old Ti-10 could impart was missing. Heck..maybe I was not in the mood. I do hope I get use to the new Ti-10 soon. But overall disappointed the original Ti-10 "feel" is gone

WELCOME to the fan club of the old ti10!:D

I think people in general do not like changes. I would believe that when the old Ti-10 came out, some people would complain about it for a while.

Hi, just curious, is this new Ti-10 more suitable for Singles or Doubles game?

played both doubles and singles w it, both very good. was at aviva open and seem players using it more for doubles. have yet to see single players using it. but i think it works well as single racket

you can get them from toa payoh safra at 165..or is it 185. can remember liao. better do a serach on yellow pages and call the boss mr soh. his shop name is classic

Thanks a lot Surge. Will check his shop out.

Well I recieved my new Ti-10 from ebay a couple days ago and had a chance to test it out w/BG80@23lbs. It is very different from the old Ti-10, it's a completely different racket altogether.

For some reason, I can interchange it with my MP99 and find it very similar to it, probably because they are both head light and balanced. The power levels are the same too -..-

200 a bit ex i think unless you want e 6 racket bag. saw the bag too and thikn wasnt any of hte better bags. think you can get the racket and a good bag at around 200 in shops.

btw for those who have been using. what is the highest tension that one have try before it gave way?

i had my strung at 26lb bg66. and shop fella tells me that is abt all it can take. anymore it will break....

who dares to go 27lb???:D:D

note: am talking about racket strength here. pls dont crash into this thread talking about high tension is not everything blah blah blah...jus keen to know technical strength of this racket.

btw, being near to the players entrance and warm up area, there are more players using the old TI10 than the new, be it singles or doubles

I've string mine at 30 and it never gave way. My stringer doesn't tell me its going to give way unless its cracked, he just tells me to be careful and that if it breaks its most likely due to the tension not his stringing. I trust my stringer ^_^

Dear all,

can i have some info & feedbacks regarding the yonex TI10 (new version).

i am tempted to buy this racket as i assume this racket is light and can be swing & move faster than the old version.

what is the different between the old & the new in terms of its specification? maybe its stiffness?
and is this racket worth for value?

thanks & appreciated for any info.:D
aheng

p/s: i love to use NS8k & RSL6800 and i am not so comfortable with MP99.

sorry, i didnt manage to find this thread.
thanks for the transferred.:o :o

Hi aheng, if u are giving up your d900 for a ti-10, let me know. I have a ti-10 to trade. :D

haha, i can give it to you free when i about to retire from badminton:D

I've tried both the 3u version of the old and the new one. The new one is more headlight. So I need more power to hit the shuttle to the back court. But if you like the Nano 8000, I thnik the new Ti10 is ok.

I've strung it with BG-85.

hi Dinitial,
what is the tension u strung?:) hopefully got chance to test the racket b4 i buy.;)
thanks for the comment!

hi Surge, can i borrow ur yellow TI 10 for testing purposes ??!! hee:D

The old Ti10 is strung with BG-85. Don't know the lbs, because it has been strung for a while. The new Ti10 was first strung with BG-66Sharp at 23 lbs, was hard but ok after a few good games. Then it is strung with BG-85 at about 10 kg is about 22 lbs. This is also ok.

Whahahaha, then I think you will have to come to The Netherlands.

eh aheng, i sold them off after using RSL6800/6900. at 27lb, you can see the racket head bow in...scary. RSL no problem. anyway then are very very good rackets..powerful too and very good control. pity only cannot take high tension ( can la...but at your own risk).

BOW IN !? tat's too bad! :crying: :crying:

BOW IN !? tat's too bad! :crying: :crying:

aheng, after hearing from surge, you still going to get the Ti 10?

erm, if the racket head would bow in such easily, then better stay away from it! save money for others!:D

(heard from sunrise staff @ far east, NS7700 and NS5000 will b release out somewhere this month!? haha)

Sounds like a string job issue than frame quality.

hi Pete, u own a yellow TI10 also?
mind to share some comments?
many thanks:) :D

I dont' own one yet but 27 lbs is well within the tolerable range. There shouldn't be a problem with the racquet unless the stringer did something wrong or manufacturing defects.

hi pete, i have 2 ti10 and both responded the same way...the racket could hold the tension just that the head bowed in.

the same stringer did 27lb on e rsl and frame was stable.

given that a ti10 costs twice the rsl and rsl more stable than the yonex when strung...i chose the rsl cos i ain no pro and cannot afford breaing yonex rackets....costly to replace

you guys mean that Ti-10 lol i thought it was fully yellow, anyway i saw it in a shop before,

I think it kind of looks like a Nano6000, like the head.

those who are keen can look up the 2st few pages. i have post photos of the racket before.

It's actually the first page :D.

I have a new yellow ti-10 strung at 27lbs, and no bow in. Seems fine to me.

that is nice to know. btw what machine did you use to string?

sometimes i find tension more of an 'illusion'.

once i played in HK and tried rackets w tension of 28-29 pounds...to my surprise they were like about 25lbs or 26lbs at max.

I use drop-weight machine with no bow in problem. Max tension is 32 lbs X 35.2 lbs.

yeah i Think there is no bow problem,because is there a problem i think every time fu haifeng and KKK do a smash the racket will crack.
because both of them are superior smasher. :) ha ha ha
Is this new racket feeling is really difference from old 3ug5 ti?????
cause i want to buy this racket,from what i conclude right now is the old one=mp 100 and the new one=mp 99. am i right???

wah:eek: 32 by 35lbs...racket won break...my hand will:D

is your machine calibrated?

Hey, to all those who has a 3U new Ti-10, how much does it weigh? Even better if someone can compare the weight of a At700 and the new Ti-10 (both 3U). Thanks in advance.
Cheers!

Do you mean swing weight? Regarding net weight, all Yonex 3U's should be in the same approximate range: 85.00g - 89.99g.

well...at700(3U) approximately weighs ~92g with strings so I just wanted to know if the new Ti-10 (3U) is heavier or lighter than a 3U at700.

Probably varies from racket to racket. I have found the net weight can really vary among Yonex rackets even if they are supposedly the same spec (2U, 3U, etc). However, I have yet to find a Yonex racket that is not within it's weight specification.

Original grip, unstrung:

Cab30 JP (2U-G4) ~ 94.7g
MP100 TW (2U-G4) ~ 94.5g
Cab20L HK (2U-G4) ~ 93.4g
Ti-10 CP (2U-G4) ~ 91.5g

AT700 JP (3U-G4) ~ 89.5g
Iso665 US (3U-G4) ~ 87.0g

Test weight (31.1g) ~ 31.1g
Test weight (100.0g) ~ 99.9g

Cheers.

Typo above. Should read:

Cab30MS JP (2U-G4) ~ 94.7g
Ti-10L CP (2U-G4) ~ 91.5g

Thanks AMRaider. However, my main concern is the weight of the new 3U Ti10. Is it heavier or lighter than a 3U AT700.

For Yonex, it will vary from racket to racket. Some AT700s (3U) will undoutedly be heavier (overall) than some Ti-10s (3U) and some will be lighter.

true enough i guess, oh wells, guess there's no answer then

anyone tried and compared the MP99 vs this new yellow Ti10?

may i know there are different in what ways?

looking for racket that could pack more power when smashing but not losing out the defence. I am using the 3U MP99 now, very happy with the defence except for the smashing part. techniques aside would the new Ti-10 be as good in defence as the MP99 but gives more smash power?

tks

I've used both the mp99 and new Ti-10 (both 3u/g4). In defence, I would have to say that the Ti-10 seems much faster since its more headlight and its overall weight is less than the mp99. As for power, I really can't tell you which one is is more powerful since the strings I used were different. Its best if you can try the new Ti-10 to get a better feel yourself.
