Hey everyone!

I just started to move away slowly from my Slim-10 as its no longer in production so i'm trying to get used to a new racket so that i can get a new 1 if it breaks. That racket is the Ti-7. I used it a while ago and didn't like it because at that time i was using the Ti-10 and Slim-10. Ti-10 having a heavy head didn't work with the Ti-7's light head....

When i was playing just recently with my Slim-10 and changed it to my Ti-7 i didn't want to change back to my Slim-10 anymore. Coz the Ti-7 was so explosive and just felt great. Thats what i would normally say about my Slim-10...

But, does anyone here feel any effect in changing your racket on the game?

i find that changing racquets does effect the game, because i usually would be used to one racquet more than the other...or even if i am not "used" to the racquet, one racquet would at least suit me better than another....
ti7....which one did u try? 3u or 2u? post a review! lol i wanna know how it is before i get it! i'm still waiting for my replacement...which should come in about 3 weeks or so

I think ur game does go through a big change if u shift from a certain type of rackets to others.

Let us say that u shift from a very racket to a medium stiff then i guess your game will go through a change.

My game went througha huge change when i shifted from Cab 21 to the Ab 2000.

Then on to my Ti 10.

I guess u find a new thing abt yourself if u Change a racket.As if a racket brings abt a dimension that u have never seen.

Yes, I agree yogesh!

You find a different aspect to your game when you switch rackets. I stuck to my EOS-90 for some 7 years before I switched to my Carb 25. Because prior to that, I tried a whole range of rackets before I found 1 that I liked... the EOS.

But I found that the Carb 25 was actually allowing me to do certain things which I never knew I could ! Then I had my Mp-100 recently and it was a different revelation altogether ! Power with control !

What does EOS stand for. I have not heard of a brand name like that.

Its by Yamaha which have closed down their rackets manufacturing operation for some 8 years already.

EOS stands for Enhanced Optimal Swingweight. A bit like the forerunner of Yonex's Swing Power Theory. Except that is more sophisticated in that weight distribution is throughout the racket ratjer than just at the tip of the frame.

At that time the EOS-90 was their top line model.
