Hi all,

I started at a new club last night and about halfway through the evening I went for a forehand drive and smashed my lovely MP99 iso against my doubles partner's racket. It's dented and bent probably beyond repair.

As I probably need to replace it, and the MP99 is being discontinued, is there something similar I can get? I play mostly doubles, and need something durable that can survive me hitting my partner's racket to a reasonable degree. I rely mostly on power. I'd like to get another Yonex.

If you think the best option is for me to source another MP99 asap before they all go then please say so :)

Thanks.

You can either source for another MP99 or you can opt for AT900T :D

Pls consider MP Limited version, which is in golden orange, its specifications are more or less the same as MP99, but shaft of MP Limited is lesser stiff, that some players even find MP Limited more easier to play and control. If MP Limited is available in your area, pls try it.

Sorry to hear you lost...

All MP is being discontinued. So MP limited will be gone in 2009. AT900t is a good option, easy to adapt. NS9000-s or ARC10 is closer on the spec.

Good luck

There are still some online shops that sell the MP99.
They are also based in the UK.
Here's one of the very few that still have the 99 in stock!

Or if you consider buying a new racquet. Then as mentioned above, the Arcsaber 10, Nanospeed 9000S or Armortec 900 technique are fairly similar to the MP99 and are excellent raquets.
Hope that helps.

I've got two MP99s but knowing that they are discontinued (Price increasing as well), what racket would be a good alternative? I could still purchase them but I feel I should move on. I'm looking for a similar racket. Please offer your views :)

Thanks!
