Tonight, I've played with my re-strung MP-100 (BG85 at 24 lbs, by my favorite shop, Luxis). Once again, I cannot give a throughout review - as I'm just an amature !

What MP-100 gave me this time are two words - "very good". As some other friends in this forum also shared the view that MP-100 gives much less vibration - I've the same feeling in both my 1st and 2nd try of MP-100. While my poor strung MP-100 really gave no power earlier, the properly strung MP-100 is very powerful ! Unlike my Ti-10 CN, the power of MP-100 doesn't seem to come from heavy head and the stiffness of the racquet - it feeels like the entire racquet itself gives the power - perhaps this is what people said "balance".

My MP-100 SP is not heavy head (in compare with my Ti-10 CN). It is also not as stiff as my Ti-10 CN. It's long (same as Ti-10 Long). It is not as light as those Carlton racquets (such as AS-1). Overall the racquet gave me a very "solid" feeling - something which no other racquet of mine can give (I've Ti-8 CN, Ti-10 CN, ISO 800, Carlton AS-1, ...). While the racquet looks quite similar to Ti-8 (long, isometric same, normal shaft, Titanium mesh, ...), it is definitely more powerful.

In contrast with Ti-10 CN, MP-100 is much easier to control - it doesn't seem to have problems of too stiff or too heavy - as a result, it feels like an all-rounded racquet. Regarding power, I think it can match Ti-10 CN (Ti-10 CN may give explosive power sometime, but in general, the difference is not that big) - however, the power seems to be generated from different elements.

In short, my MP-100 SP has become my favorite racquet now. As an amature player, MP-100 SP is definitely easier than Ti-10 CN to play with, but can generate similar power (I'm an offensive player and smash a lot).

At HK$888 in Luxis (most other shops sell for HK$1000+), I think it is a very good buy (Ti-10 CN costs HK$1080).

Finally, please don't consider the above as a review, it was just my personal opinion about MP-100 after using it for twice.

What is the weight of the racquet overall?
Which do u least prefer out of MP100/Ti10/Ti8?

yeah, i was going to ask the same question, is it 2U or 3U?

My MP100 is a 2u, without doubt the nicest raquet i have ever played with.

My Ti-8 CN, Ti-10 CN and MP-100 SP are 2U version. All of them have the same weight, however the Ti-10 CN has a particularly heavier head - as a result, you have quite different feel when you play with these 3 racquets.

As far as I know, there are 3U version of MP-100 in Japan (there are some imported units sold in HK earlier at HK$1550).

Among these 3 racquets, I've already dropped the Ti-8 CN in most games. For single games, I still need more time to find out whether the Ti-10 CN or MP-100 SP is better. For double games, I'll definitely prefer the MP-100 SP. Using Ti-10 CN will definitely give up some control and speed of defense, in order to gain the extra power - but the MP-100 SP doesn't have such drawback.

Before having the MP-100 SP, I'll opt for my Carlton AS-1 (at least 5g lighter than all these racquets) or Ti-8 CN for games which I don't want to use my Ti-10 CN.

Perhaps MP-100 CN will bring me more surprise (not available so far).

anyone know where to get in US???
