    I just bought an isometric 97 vf a couple of days ago and was wondering if it was worth my time....Is it better than the muscle power 55??? Also, when I looked at the racket reviews, i only saw reviews of the isometric 95 vf racket and the reviews basically said the 95 vf racket sucked. Another thing was that when i bought my racket, the seller told me that it was very similar to the Ti-5 light. Is that true???

    Thanks!

    i doubt that the Iso 97 VF is similar to the Ti-5. But the Ti-5 light, maybe...... But i heard that all VF rackets were lousy and useless. But i really doubt that the Iso 97 VF can beat the MP55.

    does this Iso 97 VF have Ti mesh btw?

    in my experience, all VF racquets are bad. Bad feel, bad play, no power, no control.
    If you want to compare your 97vf to mp55 and ti5, well i'll tell you now: the mp55 and ti5 are MUCH better than the vf stuff.
    Out of the 3, i believe mp55 should be the best....

    I agree with shaun. The iso Vf range of rackets are so sad that i would not recommend them even for a beginner.

    They are overpriced and they produce sad results.

    Jeff if u can sell it on ebay pls do! U will never regrett your decision.

    i would definitely go for muscle power 55. i personally own a muscle power 77, which is quite similar to 55. only difference is that it's long and has an added ultimum ti shaft. my previous racquet was a iso95vf, which i assume would be similar to iso97vf. muscle power 55 would much much much more powerful than iso97, and much much better control. also, it can withstand much higher tensions. only drawback is that it is considerable more head heavy.
