I have a MP 77 and i want to buy another yonex racquet....that is suitable for a back up for the MP 77, what yonex racquets are good for a back up besides buying another MP 77. Daz
Hmmm... With my limited knowledge, I think MP77 is unique for it's combined features (long, iso head, balance point, stiffness, etc). I don't think other MP / ISO / Ti models will come to close in performance. Also, MP77 is not the top of the line models (I mean, not most expensive), the easiest choice is to get another MP77, if u really like it.
if u got the money, get a ti-10 from badminton chain.com it plays alot like mp77 or maybe a SOTX woven 7
Thanks for the site, but i'm from U.K....in the U.K they don't sell the MP 100 and the TI 10 , i might just have to get another MP 77
Not entirley true Puffy, although the MP100 is discontinued you can still pick them up in many sports shops (only the UK release 2U), which still have stocks on the shelves. It's just a matter of doing the leg work
Amortec 500 What about the armotec 500 ?...its the same weight as the MP 77....anybody tried both racquets ?....is it the same ?
From my experience the Armortec 500 plays nothing like the MP 77. Actually, I have found no racquet that plays similar to the MP 77. My suggestion would be to get another MP 77.
OOoooooo Hmmmm....what about the Carbonex 20 Muscle Power ?, its looks like a impressive racquet for a back up, any opinions ?
Re: OOoooooo it depends on whether you are looking for a "backup" racket, or a 2nd racket. a backup racket is one that is there in case your regular racket/string breaks. this allows you to swap racket in the middle of the game. the ideal racket in this case is one that is identical, or very similar to your regular racket. the similarity allow no adjustment time so you can continue your game with little adjustment time. in that case, i say you should get another MP77. the cab20 MS is very far away from the MP77. different length, different head shape. it will play completely differently than the MP77. as a result, the cab20 ms will be a very poor backup racket imho. however, if you are looking for a 2nd racket to play around with, than any other rackets that strikes your fancy will do!
hmmm im currently using the new mp77.. i cannot get use to it.. im thinking of a cab 20 muscle.... actually my combination was a ti-10(broke) with cab 20 muscle.. so i can use both for singles and doubles.. Fierce!
a good back up racket in my opinion would be a voltric or a arcsaber because arcsabers can have high string tension and I have a voltric and it is awesomeeeee!!!!
i don't get it. have you ever used a MP77? the MP77 and ArcSaber and voltric are very different rackets with very different characteristics.
