    Recently I saw another Yonex letter designation on racquets... "KP". Could it stand for "Korean Player", similar to CP? Who knows, but the racquets were purchased in Korea where most of us have only seen a KR designation.

    So, it's like "_P" now :)
    It's tricky.....Yonex might found out about us knowing their secrets, so they might thought "Let's change some codes and make them confused:)"

    Maybe that's cost saving, as the 2nd letter could be fixed as "P". :D

    Maybe Yonex's Serial Number Engraving Machine is broken.....the "P" is jammed at the second character so it can only make "_P" serials :D:D

    Haha...so all this while we have been playing for singapore team?? Where's all my sponsor stuff?? hehe

    I think i saw a IP here on a MP99 before. checked that out in a thread before, and it says indonesian player. Or just because most of us here are making such a fuss abt CN/CP racquets, Yonex is just putting out new codes to silence everything. =)
