    Hey, i recently bought a MUSCLE POWER 99 from an Ebay named "tum98." I'm just not sure if he sells 100% genuine raquets. It would be a big help if you can give me your input on "tum98'

    I'm receiving the racquet tomorrow or Saturday and I'll post the Serial number.

    Thanks, Tri Tran :p

    Yep of course unstrung and bag. The bag feels and looks the same as my other musclepower bag, but the difference is that there is more padding inside the new one.

    That could be due to wear as well, or is the new bags supposed to have more padding... Well, this could be the reason. (Dont know for how long you've had ur bag so cant tell, so its just a hypothesis.)

    You need to:
    1. Learn to read and search
    2. Learn to ask questions before you pay for an item

    I investigated tum98 before I bought my latest racket (from a UK dealer). He has many, many positive feedbacks and responded to my questions promptly and informatively. The ONLY thing that put me off was the fact that the racket would be coming all the way from the US, and, having lost my previous racket in the post over here, I was reluctant.

    The recent strength of the pound against the dollar makes his prices all the more tempting for UK buyers, though!

    what jeff meant was to do the research BEFORE you buy. also if you did a SEARCH, you'd find that tum98 is one of the legit sellers on ebay.
