To be exact it is black and purple..

I am planning to get one there so i will post photos when i get it.. stay tune!!

[Pete LSD]

[Blurry D]

yea thats the racket... sorry to double post

[cooler]

i hope yonex didnt change the spec again.

[Blurry D]

So far i havent tried the racket just yet i will compared it to the yellow ti-10 that i have give me at least 1 week..before i can come to my conclusion.

[Pete LSD]

How stiff is the shaft compared to the yellow Ti-10?

[Smichz]

Guess we should wait for the yonex 2008 catalogue to know more about those new rackets.

[Blurry D]

I havent got the racket just yet i will give a full review in comparison with the yellow ti-10..give me a week

This new new Ti-10 don't have Ti-Mesh at 3 and 9 o'clock but material wise has been upgraded from High Modulus Graphite to Ultra High Modulus Graphite.

[Blurry D]

Are you serious?

I havent got a good look at it just yet and i have to wait till feb 2nd before i can purchase it as it all out of stock..

I hope it is better.. man Yonex got to stop changing rackets keep the materials but change the colour only dont start changing the materials and the colour at the same time.. grrr it is quite annoying.

Is true. Those fire look finishing at 3 & 9 o'clock are just FAKE ti-mesh (sticker).

[Athelete1234]

Have you taken off this sticker to confirm? A Ti series with no mesh is hardly part of the Ti-series..

[SaintDragon]

The "Ti-Mesh" at the 3 and 9 o'clock is just paint btw. I've chipped the new Ti-10 at the Ti-Mesh part and it's just the same as a chip else where. Ti-Mesh just means it's within the frame, but the actual Ti-Mesh doesn't look like that thing painted on the frame. So the this newer Ti-10 could have Ti-Mesh in it but Yonex just chose not to paint the conventional design on the frame.

[LouisW]

When you look at the real stuff then you will understand. Of course, I won't just purchase this racquet, cut off the frame and confirm with you. :D

IMO, such finishing will hardly attract ti-10 lovers.

Don't you think this is just a silly attempt by not showing the real ti-mesh on the surface for this legendary ti-10 series. Just to concern. :p

[KazeCloud]

They seriously need a blue one. Have you guys noticed most of the rackets are either red or some exotic color. Very few blues. I like blue.

I also doubt Yonex will start coming out with sticker decals for Ti mesh. -___-

Basically, the new color scheme is acceptable but only the Ti-Mesh stuff ........ :confused: Hard to believe it come with this type of finishing... ti-mesh decal.

[Blurry D]

That true.. i need to go back to AJ mart and see how things goes.. i cant believe that they change the materials again..

IMHO i feel that the new colour scheme that yonex changes all the time with rackets is a good move but not the materials..maybe since it is UHMG it can be the heavy one like the old ti-10

yeah! i like blue too. why no blue? :D

[Smichz]

TI series without no titanium mesh?Wow..if that's true,what exactly is yonex trying to do?So,i think the best TI-10 ever made was the black one.All UHMG,TI mesh,Head heavy.Powerful racket!

[molohov]

what a straaaaaaaaange color scheme. the bottom half of the head looks like a new AT500 (ugly) and the top is like whhhhhhhhhhhat....

[Weng55]

hmm went to my usual shop today and ask them to order me a piece they called sunrise and they said there is no new color it's still teh yellow one and this purple is apparently a fake... can anyone verify? The shop i go to sold me armortec 700 and 900 but JP from sunrise......

[Smichz]

JP from sunrise?Now that's weird..i thought sunrise only sells the SP.

[Blurry D]

Yeap Sunrise sells SP.. and yes there is a new purple one.. it is not fake it has already been discussed in another thread...

Yonex too announce it before hand

[speedy]

This new new Ti-10 don't have Ti-Mesh at 3 and 9 o'clock but material wise has been upgraded from High Modulus Graphite to Ultra High Modulus Graphite.

The specialty of ti10 lies in its titanium mesh. Without it it is useless.

I have to stockpile the yellow ti-10 for now before it becomes extinct. My friends said I played like a champion with it tonight. Already got two of it and my at700 is now only serving as an unused reserve:)

[blackswan]

If there is NO titanium mesh really,why "titanium mesh" is still printed on the shaft ? Is it a lie? Is the prints "MADE IN JAPAN" on the shaft a lie too?

[drifit]

Ti-10 = Titanium 10
no titanium?
why not call it UHMG-10??
there are 2 pcs of titanium strip. 1 at 9 o'clock and 1 at 3 o'clock area. now, the strip is different shape. that is all.......;)
purple colour is 2008's favourite....:D

U mind selling ur used AT700 to us then?LOL.Unbelieveable..yellow ti-10 just got out in a year or over abit,then there's the new one:eek:.Yonex is really planning to emptying their fans pocket!!:mad::p

That's very true. To soon to produce a new-new ti10. But from what I figure, the yellow ti-10 is not selling much maybe?

About the at700, it is actually waiting its time to be sold off. However there's a tiny bitty high noon crack on it. Would like to sell it at local shop...easier. If cannot sell then I'll post in the buy and sell:)

[Blurry D]

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I got the racket already. Here is my initial review.

* In comparison with the Yellow Ti-10.

It feels a bit head lighter, compared to the older one but it still packs more power.The rackets feels more solid. Also the top part of the frame is not gloss unlike the old one where it is not gloss.

Stiffness of the shaft still feels the same. So far other than the materials i dont feels much difference with the Yellow ti-10 with the purple ti-10 just the cosmetics.

Having said that i am unsure as i can be bias.Will do further testing and see how it goes..

Pictures will come soon so hang in there..

so what is your comment about the ti-mesh finishing ?

[modious]

Here are some pics of the new Ti-10 Colour Scheme taken using my HP camera. Can you figure which Yonex string I've used? :p

[Tsumaranai]

Hmm.....NBG-98?

[jhirata]

Hmm.....NBG-98?
I dont think so.. because NBG98 only comes in 'cosmic-gold', just like the NBG95. My guess is BG80 or CBG100.

[coolhandluke]

Well, you can read Yonex NBG-98 right from the photos though the color is a bit off. ;)

[jhirata]

Oh yeah.. I can sort of see the 'NBG' bit. It's not as thick as the nbg95 so yeah.. nbg98 but the colour's off >_>

[Blurry D]

Its a bg80 i think ??

[phandrew]

i think it is NBG98 but the flash on the camera makes it look like the string is white

[modious]

it is NBG 98. ;)

Colour a little off due to flash as well as using my HP camera (quality of pic not as good as a digital camera). :p

The string are not fraying it is just that i put some wax that's all...

The mesh seems to be still intact.. i have a feeling it is embedded compare to the Yellow ti-10

[Dreamzz]

so let me get this straight,

the old yellow one is made of HMG for both the shaft and frame?
the new purple one is made of UHMG for both the shaft and frame?

[Blurry D]

Specification

3U G4
BG 65 @ 26lbs
An over grip over the factory grip

First Impression

I was very surprised that Yonex launched another new colour scheme for the Ti-10. That spelled trouble as there could be changes to the material and the specification of the legendary racket as I has change over the past years.The 2008 scheme is painted with purple,black and silver with the sides being purple , black in the of the shaft and racket frame and then sliver on the 4 and 7 o'clock over the racket frame (pictures above). A far it does looks like a lover range of a Yonex as the colour were not as exciting and cutting edge from the high end Yonex rackets. However, I don't really mind the colour , how the racket performs is the ultimate question.

Initial Feel

The initial feel of the racket feels a bit less head like compared to his yellow brother.I assume that is because of the top of the frame of the yellow Ti-10 as it was matt coated.I reckon there is a significance in the paint job that contributed to the weight.However, the weight difference is minimal.In terms of overall weight and distribution of weight there is not significant difference.The stiffness of the shaft too has not much of difference of at all.However, having said all that there were changes to the materials which the Yellow Ti-10 was High Modulus Graphite where as the 2008 Purple Ti-10 is crated with Ultra High Modulus Graphite.

During play

This racket is a superb defence.Almost ever smash was defended without much hassle.Its a fast racket with lots of manoeuvrability.I guess that this racket is suitable for my type of play as I have a lot of wrist work. Drive, push and cross-courts are my strength. All done with an ease.Clears and lobs are good , thanks to the ever stiff shaft and head light balance contributes to the speed of the racket which add to the repulsion of the shuttle.It was easy to blend to the racket as I was using AT-700 before decide to switch back to Ti-10.The transition was effortless in an instant I could play the shots.Smashes are more accurate , packed with good to awesome power to the smashes. It not as thunderous as the AT-700 but its good enough.Drops shots are pretty good too.

Conclusion

I play back to back with the yellow and purple Ti-10 for 6 games.I felt that there were not significant changes in the playability of the racket.Felt like there were just different in terms of just the colour. One thing is left, the
ti-mesh feels to me that it still belong where is suppose to.I honestly feel that it is still there just a better paint job hides it.Again, i dont feel any significant difference in the both the ti-10 yellow and ti-10 purple.

AJ racket mart in puchong holds a few, i got mine there. Drop by and check it out.

[Blurry D]

so let me get this straight,

the old yellow one is made of HMG for both the shaft and frame?
the new purple one is made of UHMG for both the shaft and frame?

Yess and i dont know why Yonex did this... i somehow feel that the yellow one was a rush job... it was not that good in terms of the paint job.

[Tsumaranai]

Someone should compare the performance against the old Ti-10 and officially verify the materials-not that I don't trust Blurry D. But he is blurry. :p

hehehe actually someone should cause i am bias to the new one and i am not blurry when it comes to badminton

[Pete LSD]

Any news on the availability of the Purple Ti-10 in Hong Kong? My source doesn't know its existence yet.

[Ar Dan]

It is not out yet... but my sources tell me that there will be some new rackets coming out after CNY.

[Pete LSD]

Thank you for the update, Dan. Hopefully, there will be 2U G4/G5 this time :D.

[Dreamzz]

ooo, a 2u ti-10, that would be nice.
it's unlikely though, yonex don't seem to like making 2us no more.

[llpjlau]

so ultimately, is the purple Ti-10, effectively, the same racket as the yellow Ti-10? i am thinking of getting a spare Ti-10 (i have the yellow one atm) and since there is a new colour scheme, should i just get this purple one?

there wouldn't be too much difference in playability right?

[magiadam]

Does anybody know the max tension (tension range) of the Ti-10 Purple? Thanks everyone.

PS. My Ti-10 Purple is currently in the mail, ordered from WingeeSports :)

[llpjlau]

the max tension would be, erm.. XX newtons.
Yonex rackets usually go all the way to 30lbs or more. just look at the pros. The yellow Ti-10 could take over 30lbs, so there shouldn't be any difference in the purple one.

[Blurry D]

I just read the news paper today and its seems that KKK is using the new purple TI-10..

Can someone confirm that?

[yinsoon]

Why cant they do a re release of the old Ti-10 munster =) hehe...

Btw how much are they selling this at puchong?

I just got my racket today! And I just wanted to make sure on the max tension for the mains and crosses.

On mybadmintonstore, it says:



Recommended String Tension
Main 17-20lbs (7.5-9kg)
Cross 18-22lbs (8-9.5kg)


And llpjlau said it could go up to 30 lbs.

Can someone confirm the max tension for me? I don't want to break my new Ti-10 D:

Those are just the manufacturer tensions recommendations. You can definately go higher than that. Most people do anyways.

u should tell him to string it in Newton if u want it in correct tensions:p

like 105 x 115 N :p

105N x 115N? Are you just mocking me or are you seriously answering my question? I don't wanna break my frame on the first day tyvm.

[Tsumaranai]

Haha, let's not get into this discussion again. Newtons and pounds are both forces. You don't really use Newtons outside of Physics. The recommended tension is definitely not as high as you can go. Just string it to your normal tension.

[llpjlau]

105N x 115N? Are you just mocking me or are you seriously answering my question? I don't wanna break my frame on the first day tyvm.

seriously magiadam, Yonex rackets go above 30lbs. i've said it, look at the professionals, do you think they play with puny little 22lbs? and doing a search on the forum would help.

[magiadam]

Here are some pics with my gripping pattern :D

(Stringing it tomorrow with Nanogy 95 @ 21-23 Lbs)

[llpjlau]

is that an Acer notebook? sure looks like one.

[magiadam]

is that an Acer notebook? sure looks like one.

Yea, $220 :P Almost the price of my racket XD

[Tsumaranai]

It should be $100 less...

[magiadam]

It should be $100 less...

Just exaggerating? I got my racket from Wingee anyways, good price.

[Tsumaranai]

Lol, that's pretty bad exaggeration. Don't be like my friend. He said that he wouldn't bring an $800 device to school and he was talking about the PSP for an example. That's.. just a too extreme hyperbole.

[nipoy]

I think I want to have one myself, I've been using the AT 700 and never tried the Ti-10. Should I get a 2U or 3U.

[nummertwente]

Just for reference, I just picked up a purple Ti-10 and here are the comparison specs:

Yellow Ti-10, 3UG5, two Yonex mesh overgrap - BG80 / 97 grams / bp 295mm

Purple Ti-10, 3UG4, no over grip - BG80 / 91 grams / bp 298 mm

[Heong]

I think I want to have one myself, I've been using the AT 700 and never tried the Ti-10. Should I get a 2U or 3U.
I like 2U. Good for singles, but for doubles i prefer 3U. :D
only little difference in weight.

[nipoy]

It's a 3U then :D
