    get it before it is gone,,i am sure indonesia still has this ...to me it is great racket...worth buying,for any kind of rackets,try to hit it right at the centre of the string or else after of hard-hitting moments,you will have to part with it.dun string it at very high tension,anyway are u from indonesia?or u are indonesian?

    The Ti8 is in the Yonex 2001 catalogue so probably premature thinking about its demise.

    it's not in the US Yonex catalog. they are probably cutting it for the US/North America market.

    Yeah, Yonex has discontinued the Ti-8. Some retailers here in the America still have some and I can refer some to you. But in the new 2001 Yonex catalog, the Ti-10, 7, and 5 is only visable.
