    I noticed in the Yonex Brochure that the head size for the Yonex MP series rackets are smaller than the Yonex AT and NS series rackets. If anybody owns a MP racket and a AT or a NS compare and tell me please. Can you also take a picture? MP100 would be preferred since i own one.
    Thanks.

    I can confirm that MP100's head frame size is definitely smaller than many other ISO series, namely ISO, AT, NS, etc. ;)

    what advantages and disadvantages will a smaller head size have?

    i know the sweet spot will be smaller but power is no problem for me.

    All else being equal, smaller head face:

    Pros: Faster defense, more aerodynamic.

    Cons: Smaller sweet spot, shorter string bed means less power transmitted to the shuttle.

    Of course, if you swing faster with a smaller racket face, you may end up with more power. Cheers.
