Thanks:D eggroll 02-28-2003, 06:24 PM Originally posted by Ay33 Hey, I was just wondering when the Muscle Power Series were invented and out in the markets... no exact dates plz, unless you want to give the exact date, the year and possibly, maybe the month as well will do. Thanks:D The first intro of the concept was 5 seasons ago in the original Ti7 that had the MP in the frame but no reference to it in the frame graphics or name. The MP55,77,and 100 were all intro'd the following year in April. din 02-28-2003, 06:49 PM Eggroll, Is the currently Ti7 - Light has MP frame? eggroll 02-28-2003, 08:39 PM Originally posted by din Eggroll, Is the currently Ti7 - Light has MP frame? Yes it does. On the top of the frame it has a decal saying Muscle Power Series. Personally I alternate with the Ti Swing Power and the Ti7 Light for doubles depending on the other teams tactics.

How come on the Yonex site the specs for the Ti-7 doesn't show that it has an MP frame or UltimumTi...? wing0 03-02-2003, 01:59 PM Ti-7 does have the MP frame, well...partially, cuz it's on the top and not around the whole frame. As for the UltimumTi, it is only on the higher end of MP series. Ti7 is a Titanium series.

I don't know, but Im for sure that the Ti-7 Light has the MP frame... JChen99 03-02-2003, 02:14 PM Originally posted by Ay33 I don't know, but Im for sure that the Ti-7 Light has the MP frame... So does Ti-10 lo~~ so I think it's the higher end of the Ti Lines that have the bumps at the top half of the frame Ay33 03-02-2003, 02:34 PM Originally posted by JChen99 So does Ti-10 lo~~ so I think it's the higher end of the Ti Lines that have the bumps at the top half of the frame Yeh, the Higher ends of Ti have the frame....Ti5 and 3 have the plain Iso Frames.

JChen99 03-02-2003, 02:48 PM Maybe Add... but not Change wing0 03-02-2003, 03:27 PM Originally posted by JChen99 yeep~ well....what else do u think they can add?? sometimes i wonder if the MP frame(on my Ti7) really helps...cuz i play better with my friends Cab20 that doesn't have anything... lol...

The MP Frame doesn't really improve your game or smashes etc. All the MP frame does is to hold the tension of the strings on your racket. wing0 03-02-2003, 07:32 PM some ppl also mentioned that because of the little bumps, it makes the head heavier, i guess that's how ppl think it improves the power too... Ay33 03-03-2003, 10:44 PM OH, I see, I see. JChen99 03-03-2003, 11:30 PM Originally posted by wing0 some ppl also mentioned that because of the little bumps, it makes the head heavier, i guess that's how ppl think it improves the power too... I'm not so sure about this one, even if it does increase the weight, it would be so tiny that it would almost be considered insignificat bigredlemon 03-03-2003, 11:58 PM Originally posted by JChen99 I'm not so sure about this one, even if it does increase the weight, it would be so tiny that it would almost be considered insignificat Good point. Also if they wanted to make it more head-heavy, they'd just add it to the rim which makes the racquet head stronger. Since less material supports the frame in an complete arch in the MP series, it should be weaker. JChen99 03-04-2003, 12:16 AM Originally posted by bigredlemon Good point.

Actually... have u seen the VW bug commercial? arches are suppose to make the "structure" wut ever it is stronger!? or is that fiction? Grufey 03-04-2003, 12:26 AM Arches, because i'm sure that the design of the VW beetles does not give friction...lol:) bigredlemon 03-04-2003, 12:56 AM Originally posted by JChen99 Actually... have u seen the VW bug commercial? arches are suppose to make the "structure" wut ever it is stronger!? or is that fiction? arches make it stronger in the direction it points. Since a racquet is round, it is theroetically a very long arch which points in every direction, distributing the load across everywhere. The MP bumps' arch points only inwards toward the centre, making it crack easier from racquet clashes. Well my description here isn't exactly correct but shows the gist of it. JChen99 03-04-2003, 01:05 AM mm... I guess u've got a point there... wut goes up must come down :p o well... I dont really see any difference except for the wear of string at the points where grommets already exist... jus makes the string less vulnerable to breaking(slightly only though) |
