Cab10MS is similar to Cab30MS looks, but change the silver to be yellow and the lettering to be darker color and length to be regular.

2U only.

is the MP100 going to be in the 2004 catalouge? i'm asking this because i'm hoping to get 2 MP100 this year and hoping they still sell them in calgary.

I know many US stores are still selling them

As far as the TW 2004 Catalog, MP100 is still at the front pages.
(I don't know about Canada )

Sheldon, you can get the AT700 for £110 at Central Sports now.

You can also get Armortec 700 for £109.50 with free rucksack at www.directsports-eshop.com in uk or at www.advancedrackets.com for £119.99 with free rucksack and 1206 yonex shirt

I've used both these online stores and had good service.

Ants - this is the new UK catalogue, these items are new to the UK. Well the ones Ynexfan2003 posted are the other ones earlier in the thread are not UK release.

Not in the UK, it has been discontinued for about 8 months now and if you can get one you are in the minority of lucky people. I would strongly advise putting on a lottery ticket!

Ic thanks..

The At800 color does look attractive.

I totally agree... hope i get to see it in real life soon...

And I think the MP100 has been discontinued in the US as well. My friend went to buy a racket today and they had their last 2 MP100. They said they are not gonna get anymore.

It's probably just a natural progression to replace the MP line in time, I had thought that with more models in the AT lineup it might be the successor but I don't think so now. There would probably be a new range in the next 1-2 years once the phase out the MP line altogether.

Then again I might be totally wrong!

**other** · 03-20-2004, 07:46 AM

oh i mean that the at700 "RRP" is about 150 isn't it? just most people sell for less obviously to entice us. therefore, the at-800 and at-700 "should" be very silimilarly priced.

**Dill** · 03-20-2004, 07:54 AM

Not any more Sheldon, the AT700 was only priced at £150 for about 1-2 months after it's initial release. It then went to £135 in some shops and then directly to £120 and has been at that price for about the last 6 months or so.

**other** · 03-20-2004, 07:57 AM

yeah............sorry i wasn't being clear..........i meant that the at700 and 800 will be about the same price

seeing that the rrps are around the same

**Dill** · 03-20-2004, 12:40 PM

I would think the AT800's would be spot on the £150 marker and not far off with it being the top of the range and all.

Coincidence how the shb89 shoes color matches well with AT800s

I was thinking the same thing; Yonex has their secret plans

So, we can guess the racket's color in the future by looking at the shoes

I just noticed that Mr. Crazy Sho Sasaki of Japan was wearing the SHB 98MX back in November of last year at the Scottish Open. Perhaps Ants will have a better idea of when they were released in Asia.

As for the new Yonex VeryCool Polo shirts, to my astonishment I managed to buy one of each from my local non-specialised sports shop at half-price (£30); I think a mistake must have been made with the codes; this shop was selling the Yonex MP100 for £150, and is still selling the mp99 for about that price. In any case, I now have two of these shirts for about the same price it would have cost for one from the cheapest UK store on the net - Central Sports. Perhaps if I ordered an AT-800 from this same store, they would offer me it at the price of the AT-300

.

The white, grey and black shirt is very cool indeed (I can post pics later); it has two layers of a polyester mesh which "have ultraviolet and infrared filtering functions. Helping to reduce heat build-up during physical activity by intercepting 96% of UV radiation and 81% of IR radiation..." I expect that it will improve my game performance by 23.2% and my desirability to female players by 27%.

Either Yonex are taking the pee with the grand-sounding names and essentially meaningless statistics included in their advertising or they have a very cynical view of a customer's motivation to buy badminton equipment.

the shb98 was sold in the japan market about 12 months ago. It's new for market outside of JP.
