View Full Version : Would like MP90 or MP99
Xuser 10-07-2002, 12:38 PM Hi there,
I am interested in purchasing an MP90 or MP99 racquet for myself. I've been reading some posts here about these two racquets. If you have a new one to sell, pls let me know what the difference between these two are.
I prefer to buy the racquet in Canada only so I don't have to pay for duties. Thank you and pls reply to: soho@mts.net
mp90 and mp99 are the same thing, 90 is jp model and 99 is world model. same thing with mp80, 88. all jp model are 50,70, 80, 90 etc.

Thank you for your prompt reply. I still need a reply from anyone who knows or who wants to sell their new MP90/99 racquet in Canada only.

Yes, they're suppose to be the same rackets.
But durability wise, JP and CN/CP models are definately more durable than others.
nSmash 10-11-2002, 01:27 PM On yonex.co.jp, I see that the MP90's gripsize is G4.5.
In Canada, I see that the MP99 is available with gripsizes
G4 and G5. Does the MP90 really come in only G4.5?

G4.5 means G4, 5 as in G4 and G5. :D

Ah! Thanks, jwu!
Pecheur 10-13-2002, 08:18 AM Erm no, G4.5 means G4.5
Go find any ISO 900, or ISO Ti Swing and look

Marky 10-13-2002, 11:38 AM For your information:
My MP90 (JP version) is G5
MY Ti Swing Power SX (TW version) is G4.5
My Ti Swing Power SR (TH version) is G4.5

Pecheur is right, G4.5 is a grip size in itself, my iso 900 SP SS has this grip size!
I have recently changed to a MP99, and i think the racket is amazing, so much more power then my old iso 800!

but JP versions tend to be more 3u... or is it all the same with the asian market except for SP versions?
enlightened, never actually seen a G4.5 before. Sorry for the wrong info earlier then, I will now hide in the corner in shame. :(
Marky 10-14-2002, 12:40 PM jwu: you have stated correctly in regards MP90 a G4 or a G5 in your replied posting.
a little confused, so G4.5 is only made for the Iso-Ti SP and Iso-900 but not mp99? Not sure what you mean, marky.
yeah. that's correct. the only racket that has a G4.5 grip is the Iso900SwingPower and TiSP series. (maybe even the Iso500SwingPower series? i have never used those before)
Marky 10-14-2002, 01:13 PM jwu: Kwun has answered your question to me.
oh I see, thanks kwun and marky. Basically G4.5 is something only "swing power" model racquets have. Interesting. Now I just wonder why they would make something like that. :D

What? I don't really get what you meant....
R u saying that JP, CN/CP rackets are lighter than others such as SP? They're not!
JP, CN/CP rackets are generally heavier and that's probably one reason why it's more durable and can take higher stringing tension.

I think that's a factor that depends on the distributor, not on wether the racket is labelled JP or SP.

well at the beginning of the year I asked my aunt in Taiwan to get me 2X MP100 from Taiwan, I specifically asked for 2U g3, but it turned out the rackets that were brought to me were 3U G5. They said that model (weight and grip size) is the only type they are offering at the store... and the store was the distributor for Yonex in Taiwan! :eek: :confused:
Of course it didn't effect me much since i just put on tons of overgrip and started playing :p

I think that is just a distributor's choice at the time. When stores get racquets, they usually buy a massive quantity of a certain kind each, so it was just your luck that when your aunt was there, they only sell 3U5G. I just got a mp100 imported too from Taiwan and I wanted 3U3G but the one coming is 2U4G. :)

similar to my case. I wanted mp100 for a friend, mp99 for myself, and mp88 for my mom. It turns out they have both mp100 and mp88 but mp99 won't be in stock until the end of the month and my contact is coming back in the middle of month so no mp99 for me. sigh...:(
Cheung 10-15-2002, 10:48 PM I have very rarely seen in G3 grip sold in Asia. Usually it's G4 or G5.
However, I think it's the other way round in non-Asian countries

maybe Yonex rarely make G3 for some models? Not sure. Most of the high-end racquets here that I've seen for yonex are G4 and G5 mostly. All my Victor racquets from Taiwan are G3 and G2.
Cheung 10-15-2002, 11:02 PM I should be more specific. I was referring to Yonex racquets being retailed. Not other brands.
You mention that you see more G4 G5 racquets. Do you mean you see these racquets for sale on the shop shelf in US?

From online stores, most of the options available are only G4 G5. I can't say much for shop shelf since there is no badminton equipment shop near me.
