i just got my mp99 3 days ago, when i am use it, sometimes i felt my racquet bent backwards abit when the the racquet hit the birdy. but this problem dosn't happen to my old racquet. so i wonder if this is normal ??
Dont worry its normal, i experience same thing with my fleet racquet too. its a really flexible racket.
On paper it is stiff but I also feel it's a bit too flexible , at least comapred with my MP77 and AT500....
1. If you have a strong/fast swing, any racket can be "bent" a bit during the swing/impact. 2. Double check to make sure your MP99 is the "real deal".
I agree, you see pictures of pro's with their racket flexed before impact. also it shows it in the 2006 yonex catalogue on one of their diagrams for new technology. ive had a mp99 (real) for 6 months and i have never felt that.
