    It is quite common to find SP version with HK engraved on cone, other than HK and SP, we also can find IP on the cone from HK retailer.

    For TP, it is my first time see it, Thailand National Team version?? Where do you get it?

    i think i read somewhere that CP refers to chinese provincial, and CN refers to chinese national...

    might that be the same situation here?

    CP is used to replace CN in National Team code. The offical products inside China is using CH.

    So, that why I guess TP for Thailand National Team....................

    well, i always figured they only use the new code for large enough batches of a racquet that warrent's its own batch code. now if a provincial chinese team wanted a big enough quantity of AT700s, or MP99s, or anything else, depending on the needs of the team, then yonex would make a batch just for the team, labelling them with CP perhaps.
    same goes with CN for the national team i thought.

    i was aware of the CH code for normal production sales for china.

    but with so many players in china, the required number of racquets was high enough to warrent the individual codes for each level, whereas you would never see a special code for a production batch for canada, or united states, for example, where the need isn't there. the number of racquets made for normal production under CD and US is enough for general market and team consumption.

    oh jeez, theres a UP code too?? where does that one go?

    All players. Why would I pay attention to just the US players? I would rather be more intersted in Indonesian players.

    Just reviving an older thread, I'm just curious about IP which is meant to be for Indonesia. Since CP racket is for the Chinese player, any chance that IP translates to Indonesia Player???
