    Another Q about MP grommets - the bottom part of my MP88 frame near the shaft has these grommets with copper strips. What are they called and what do they do? Can they be installed on an MP44?

    TIA

    nanospeeds have solid feel core, i think it helps a bit, anyone know if you can fit those grommets on a ns8k? also, theres no difference between the grommets on the mp 66 and the mp 99 right? just one is gold and one is copper?

    yonex is trying to make more mone by putting all of their higher technologies in different series, so if u want Power Armor and MP frame, u have to buy 2 rackets instead of one. they have all the ability to put all their technologies into one racket, but they held back.

    Has anyone seen the new Kason TSF 300? It has a grommet strip on the top 1/2 of the racket. Similiar to tennis rackets. Allows higher tension and also protects the string from scratching the floor when picking up birds. Can't wait to get my hands on a TSF 300. It comes in two colors, red and blue (Attack and Defense).

    of course they have, otherwise everyone will just buy the ArmorNanoMusclePower 10000 and the rest of the racquets will still be sitting on the shelves ... :D
    besides, i think some people prefer the technologies to be separate ... i know i do!

    for sure, i really don't want to combine all the technologies, a few together would be nice, eg AT700 wtih mp grommets but seriously at700 with nano carbon! instead of the mighty ULTIMUM Ti!????

    sry for bringing up old thread, didnt want to make a new one for no reason. i have a quick question. referencing from this picture of a MP77,

    [​IMG]

    ive noticed, compared to my MP99, how come the musclepower strip is a lot more "aggressive"? as in a rounder and more prominent shape. i have also seen this on other models like the MP88. its just you would think yonex would do the same thing on their higher end mp rackets. just curious, thats all.
