    Presently using a CAB21SP (2u) and a Gosen Roots BR5000 as alternate. ust waiting for my Ti10 JP and MP 90 JP to arrive next week :D
    Mongoose, I see you have 2 MP90 JPs, are they better than the Ti10s? I see a lot of people in our club using the Ti10s

    Hi Baddie,
    That's a difficult question to answer.
    Both the MP90JP and Ti10 (SP or JP) are excellent rackets.
    I just find the MP90JP more suitable for my level and style of play.
    Btw, I am an intermediate playing more of a control game.
    And fyi, I actually prefer the MP100CP for its heft and firm feel and flex.

    Further update (again!) :)

    Now I have two racket bags. In each bag are the following rackets:

    Yonex Bag:
    1 MP100 CP
    2 MP90 JP
    1 MP77 AS

    Victor Bag:
    1 Sun Jun 2000
    1 New Fung 2000

    On days that I feel like playing with Yonex or Victor, I'll just carry the whole bag with me. :)

    I have a kawasaki BMG-500 before, excellent racket, just like Carbonex 20 but lighter. Good power and also good control. But not durable. :(

    I have tried another BMG-997 also, good power and excellent control, but broken up to 24lbs tension.

    Good stuff, but cannot find new models in Hong Kong anymore.

    Where is the need to have so many rackets for all of you and what possible benefit do you gain from having so many different style rackets??????????

    I can understand different rackets for doubles and singles play, but the rest are just showing off

    As a saying goes:
    If you don't have anything good to say, it is better not to say anything at all.

    haha... agreed!

    Anyway, I've more or less settled on the racket I want to use.... the Iso Ti Swing Power SX.

    Currently I've only on Iso Ti Swing Power SX (SP, orange version).

    Gonna get 2 Iso Ti Swing Power SX (JP, orange version) and 1 Iso Ti Swing Power SX (SP, blue version).

    As for the other rackets like MP100 and MP90 etc, I suppose sometimes the urge of trying out new rackets overcame me. :D

    I'm most probably be getting a MP 90 JP.....

    Only had three which are mine (i'm 16) but i get to play with my parents' as well:

    Mine:

    Carlton Aerogear 600 with Karakal perforated grip and replacement strings, Yonex I think-the first and still the best

    Yonex Carbonex 20 with factory grip (absolutely useless) and custom strings (dunno what they are, got it as present from once professional player). This would be challenging for my BEST RACQUET title, although unfortueately I broke it against a net post. duh.

    Pro Sports (?!?!?) Basically a cheapo raquect, way too heavy for my style of play, and the strings are getting loose.

    Price of all these plus grips and what have you:

    £100 i think

    i'm gonna get another cool racquet soon with my GCSE money;)
