"ISO 900 SX or ISO 800? Racket Crisis Here - Please Help Me!" - iluvthesun - 10/26 http://www.badmintonforum.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=12250 "AT-500 or MP-77??" - iluvthesun - 11/05 http://www.badmintonforum.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=12410 and now: "Ti 10 vs Iso Ti Swing Power SX" - iluvthesun - 11/08 perhaps you should just make up your mind and buy one. the racket only affects your game marginally. it is much more worthwhile to spend your time improving your skills instead.
There is no answer to that question. It is up to you which racket that suits your way of playing. Just go and try them out and see which one suits your play instead. It's not that good to ask people's opinion because everyone has their own view about it.
come on iluvthesun 3 posts about rackets why didn't u put in all 1 post u try them we can't tell u the answers
You should at least buy some rackets and try them first. Keep on asking forever won't help you at all if you don't have any rackets that you asked.
werid how i find that i can play just as well with a basic 10 dollar black knight racket as i do with a ti 10, some racket companies want u to THINK that you are better with the racket, believe what you want, but the racket wont increase ur game play darasticly
This is crazy. Ok let's just pretend that I don't want to buy any racket. Now, of those of you who have used both the Iso Ti Swing Power SX and the Ti 10, which do you like better? Please tell me!! I try to improve my skills all the time when I play, but I honestly find that what racket I use does make a difference to play. Also, there're lots of other people who make new threads comparing rackets. And if I can, I always respond with my own opinion about which one is better. LOL as if I had that much money
ermm i luvthesun... actually.... whichever racquet you like, that's the best racquet for you... no point asking for opinion.... everyone has own preference and own favourites......
Give Kim DM or Camilla a crappy lowest of the range steel racquet and they will still beat the crap out of 99% of us here except maybe JR and Thomas... , not because they use the Ti-10 but because they have a very solid grip on the fundamentals of the game and superb skills to boot. The top racquets serves only to enhance their capabilities further by giving some extra edge in their offence and defence.
iluvthesun, Maybe this piece of information can help The Ti10 is favoured by many more professional players than the TiSP. For what reason, I do not know. Do a search for 'racquets' and 'pros' and you can examine which Yonex racquets have been popular choices with players. Interesting that out of 10 replies prior to my one, 9 have basically said there is no answer. The one that doesn't is from 'iluvthesun'. Basically, there is no easy answer except Cooler's one. Then you have to go through the same thing again with strings! As a sidenote, This makes me wonder about writing another FAQ. Would anybody like to summarise the arguments? I'll start off with the title "Intermediate player wants to change racquets. Which is better; racquet xx or racquet zz?'
iluvthesun i cant help u because: - your choices are all over the place (see kwun's post) - u are not specific enough, like 2U or 3U ti10 as an example - we dont know how u swing - u did not gave us your budget - like cheung said, what string u r planning to use and what tension if u want precise answer, u need to give us your specific wants and needs
The racket that's best for me, out of the two, is the one that is best for the majority of intermediate players. That's why I want opinions on 'what's best for you', rather than 'what you think may be best for me'. Since, according to Yonex specs, the Ti Swing Power and the Ti 10 are basically the same, I want to know whether they play differently or not. Sorry I forgot to say my specific needs. Here they are: 1) stiff and head-heavy 2) playable in doubles 3) 0.68 mm to 0.69 mm (i.e. either bg88ti or bg75ti @ 24 lbs) 4) very stable frame 5) fast max swing speed for hard smashes I can't try out those rackets cos the shops here are really stingy. I'm not even allowed to return the racket
I've got both and I dont really use my Ti-10 nowadays because itz got shitty tension of string and I just be bothered to restring it, anywayz... I reckon Ti-10 is too head heavy and TiSpSx also but not as much.. The shaft of TiSpSx is weird with edges(dunno if Yonex improved it in the 2nd release, I've got version 1 in blue) you need to wrap your grap up the middle of the racket if u want to play some doubles but the sx modelz suppose to play singles as suggested by Yonex.... Oh yeah, and the swing is abit slower than Ti-10 which is strange because Ti-10 is more headheavy... You dont really have many chances to play your best smash in doubles (I assume u are good to consider those rackets) so I reckon you might aswell go for Mp88, sorry about confusing you even more in choosing a racket but I just dun think itz right advice to assist u to buy a singles headheavy racket for some doubles game... you buy a racket to assist your game, not ruin your wrist Sorry, I reckon I am keeping it brief in giving you the picture coz I am in a rush ~
Cheers manabu. I've actually got a Ti-7 which I'll prolly use for proper doubles matches so I don't have to worry bout that. So it seems like you like Ti10 better than Ti SP? That is abnormally headlight for a Ti10 :S too much overgrip maybe?
Um, I think you're making the racquet seem a lot more overrated than what it should be. Both racquets are pretty similiar. They are stiff, head heavy (Ti-10 is more head heavy), but you are the one producing the power, not the racquet. The racquet isn't loaded with some special stuff that gives you more power...
