MMOA MBR 8900 Review

Racket : MMOA MBR 8900
Specs : 4UG2 -> same with yonex 3ug5
Strings: MMOA String ( Supplied )
Grip: Original Grip from MMOA
Price : About NT $5200

Physical Look:the physical look is similiar with armortec 700, short handle with isometric frame

Racket review
First time I saw this racket i just thinking it is the clone of armortec Power because the letter power in the top of the frame,but when the first time I swing the racket the racket feel more flex,but has power. This racket is similliar with armortec 800 offensive but it has short handle,the feel when hitting the shuttle very good due it slightly stiff shaft. the defense and maneuverability is quite good too.

Conclusion:

Feel: 9/10
Control: 8.5/10
Power: 8/10
Defense: 8.5/10
Maneuverability: 8/10

Yonex racket To Compare: Mix Of Armortec 700 and Armortec 800 Offensive

have you measured the BP?
The cosmetic is quite interesting. What is the price range of this racket?

[twobeer]

Racket looks great.. MMOA factory OEMs to many brands (think it is the same factory as Victor and many other brands).

At800 off, is very stiff, so I am a bit puzzled why you find them similar if this is more flexy? Are you reffering to the balance point, swingspeed and not shaft stiffness??

It Says MMOA Japan on the cone, do MMOA have a Japanese facory as well (or is it just company "marketing" )

MMOA do not make racquet in Japan. The R&D design in Japan.

If it scores an 8/10 on the power scale, when it's somewhat like an at700/at800...
what kind racket could possible score your 10/10? :p

Okay, I am stuck with X2 Gold. Need an extra urge to get the TC beastie.

Unfortunately, MMOA doesn't make 2U.

From what I know only one factory that create gold racket too,it is kimoni but the Kimoni racket is limites edition racket which very2 expensive and got hard case.

Can U Imagine? GOLD CHROME RACKET MAN ,People will look at u when u playing at the court,wkwkwkwkwk ;p

The pricerange is from $30 to $200 ,the balance point is 285

Yes the racket is quite good ,it can hold the tension well, I string the racket at 30lbs and there is no problem.And there is a warranty if the racket crack it can be return to the seller in taiwan to examine what is the cause and make a better racket with better Quality Control in the future,my friend who deliver this racket said.


My at 800 Offensive IP coded 3ug5 not to stiff even more flex than my at 700, if u got at 700 it is something like at 700 stiffnes ,but a little bit more flex.Or maybe if your at 800 offense stiff (maybe asian version and european version different) ,maybe it feel like your At 800 defensive,so it is slightly stiff, Got My point?
Sorry make u abit confused ;P .

MMOA racket make in Taiwan and Japan,the one I post is made in Taiwan and the version in Taiwan and in Japan is different,

http://www.mmoa.com.tw/
http://www.mmoa.co.jp/mbr96.html

But the racket which made in taiwan still under the inspection of japan MMOA that is why they added "MMOA Japan" Words in the Cone


If it scores an 8/10 on the power scale, when it's somewhat like an at700/at800...
what kind racket could possible score your 10/10?

my rating for score 10 is Armortec 900 Power JP and CP Version not SP Version ,I call It Armortec Monster cause I can Produce smash better than my MP 100 0r ti 10 ,but the problem I dont like AT 900 Power manuver.And That is Why I Give this racket rating 8,cause 9 for another Yonex racket like 2u Ti10 or 2u MP100 or at 700 ,I give the review as objective/ as accurate I can cause I cannot compare MMOA power to yonex, MMOA lower lah,But the Feel Is Superb ,that is why veteran player like it.

[h4n5ip]

BP at 285 is definitely a head light racket.
It surprise me if it has power.
Looking forward to hearing/reviewing your head heavy racket.

No it is not a headlight racket I know headheavy is upper then 290 but 285 is quite good for attacking , My prince Oversive platinum BP 285 but can produce a huge amount of power.U can see the word power in the frame.I can send U the racket if u wanna try :p

what I mean it is same as armortec offensive is the swing feel when smacking the shuttle not the BP.U better try it,Buy it on line some where lah :p

[sifuyono]

i thought BP 285 a little bit head heavy, headlight <27cm

Hey, I got nice info from bluejeff about MMOA company
looks like my friend is right, MMOA is the most popular racket from taiwan,whom everybody know as a good racketmaker.

Hi, I have become interested in MMOA products (since last week) :)
And I am just wondering if any of you used any MMOA strings before?

A brief of MMOA:
MMOA is a Taiwan based company, which just started not too long ago. MMOA now is the most popular badminton brands among teenagers (18 and younger) because of its low cost and durability. (I know it's hard to believe, but everyone I asked in Taiwan all have at least one MMOA racket:eek: )

Their products have a wide range as Yonex. They make clothes, pants, shoes, socks, bags, towels, grips, badminton nets, and even Badminton String Machines!:eek: . So I don't think MMOA is bad at all. It may even catch up with Victor in couple years.

PS:
Some rumors told me that MMOA people were previous Yonex people (I mean the labors) in TW, maybe that's why their products have good quality ? :)

The string is quite good too,very similliar to bg 66,but it is only about $4

MMOA MBR 7004 Review


Racket : MMOA MBR 7004
Specs : 3UG2
Strings: MMOA String ( Supplied )
Grip: Original Grip from MMOA
Price : About NT $5100

Physical Look:This racket have a hologram that MMOA claim will not fade ,The shape of this racket is similliar with MP 100 which the frame bottom is a little bit up and I notice the frame is quite small,maybe the frame is designed for power.This racket had a short handle too like ti 10 and armortec 700

Racket review
The first time I swing this racket this racket is feel funny ,the swing feel is like swinging a string with a rock tied in the corner, for a couple shot I didnt get the feel and miss the shot,but after few strike at lest I got the feeling of this racket,maybe cause of the small frame and short handle.The flex of this racket same with at 700.after I got the feel the power is good,drive is quite good to,but a little weak in defense.

Conclusion:

Feel: 8.5/10
Control: 8.5/10
Power: 8/10
Defense: 7.5/10
Maneuverability: 8/10

Yonex racket To Compare: at 700 but with a small frame
