    I don't think there are any other YY that's stiff and even balanced like the MP99. The ATs are head heavy while the NS are head light. The closest I would say is the AT900T which some people describe as being even balance compared to the rest of the AT line.

    Agree, buy more MP99 before it get phased out next year or the year after that. I got a news from Yonex that MP line is being phased out in 2 yr (may be 1 depend on model) in US. NS line is suppose to be the replacement, however, there might be a new line in 2 yr.

    others views may differ but imho the ns8000 would be feel similar to the mp99.

    from what i read here in the forums, the mp90 is the same as mp99. only difference is that japan uses different numbers for their racquets.

    Agree. IMHO AT800DE would be a good try and would be better than mp99. For me mp99 is a beast and demands a lot to tame it

    from the post in this thread, i've gotten two people going with the NS8000 and two people going with the AT800DEF. i'll just let the thread grow more and more until i decide on a replacement racquet. until then, i'm sticking with the MP99
