    Hey man, firstly the SP at the back of the MP100 is just for country code distribution unlike Cab21SP where the first SP is special right after the number 21.

    Btw. You posted this in the wrong subforum :(

    Man. I have 2 x cab30 with SP. It is the country code. Why do you think there are CH and CP there??
    SP is specifically for SUNRISE, And the date code at the cone will show which part of SEA....

    Usually Sp's rackets are more expensive due to its packaging. It cost more to make the racket bag that comes with the racket. :)

    I wonder if this is true because when I went to buy a MP99, there were 2 versions, TH and SP. But both of them cost the same.:confused::confused:

    I'm not sure too. But most of you dun get what I meant here. I meant by the "SP" on the cone, beside the musclepower100. Not the country production code.

    I tink wat u are trying to say is dat does a mp100 SP cost as much as a mp100 TH (just an example). with a "SP" coded racket meaning its distributed by sunrise---> hence i m sure u can see the "SP" wordings after the musclepower100 wordings on the shaft n also the date code on the cone will also end with "SP" too. correct me if m wrong...:p ok...as for yr ques regards the pricing....yes....a "SP" coded racket will cost more den a non "SP" racket (example, a TH one) for example...a MP99 TH will cost ard S$135-S$150 but a MP99 SP will cost u ard S$180-S$190. So a person will not pay the price of a MP99 SP for a MP99 TH thou both rackets are the same model musclepower 99. I hope i understand wat u are trying to ask. :D

    Although there is a singnificance in the price range, but will there be any difference when playing?? If not, why does people buy SP instead of TH while there is no difference?? (is it because singapore doesn't allow the shops to sell TH) sorry but im noob...:eek:
