MP99 is a lot more maneuverable I'd say, and has a larger sweet spot, so it is more forgiving than the MP100. MP100 is extra stiff with a slightly headheavy/even balance, and produces more power IMO. MP99 is also a more rounded racquet, and most people find it easier to use.
Which would produce more power? 3U MP100 or 2U MP99 Could you say that MP100 is for offensive players while MP99 is more for defensive/all-round players?
Well judging by gunblade and dinkalot, an mp99 would be suited towards the all round player (good for both defense and attacking) and mp100 for attacking due to its slight head heavy nature. I would say that a 3u mp100 could potentially hit harder (obviously there are other factors such as technique an strength etc) because of its stiffer shaft. The extra weight would only contribute a little extra power for the mp99.
The 2U MP99 would hit harder if you can maximize its potential. Don't underestimate physics; F=ma almost always supercedes anything mankind can come up with and the way it tries to "trick" physics.
F=ma Oh haha that F=ma. So you mean all the heavier racquets provide more power? F= resultant force, m=mass (amount of matter in an object) and a=acceleration. What about the string tension? Does the amount of carbon contained in a racquet affects the power?
let say that a=10(m/s)^2 Tension and string are the same and experiment occur when shuttlecock smashed at the centre of racket(sweetspot). 3U MP100 = 10x0.085 = 0.85N 2U MP99 = 10x0.090 = 0.90N A difference of 0.05N will not show much/any difference in speed There are other other factors as well such as the materials in a racket, racket balance and racket stiffness. In Physics, if you have 2 identical objects but one of them is heavier, the heavier will produce for power.
The key point here is the ACCELERATION in the formula. String Tension, String Type, Racket Stiffness, Density Uniformity, Racket Balance, Stroke/Technique and even the shuttle dimensions/spin and play conditions affect the acceleration of the shuttle (otherwise referred to as "POWER" by many). Ideally, if you can arrive to the SAME ACCELERATION at contact for both a head heavy racket and a head light racket, the head heavy racket WILL transfer more power due to the extra weight. However, real life isn't this simple. Acceleration tends to be faster for HL rackets than HH rackets so it's pretty much down to your preference of Attack vs Defense. A very crude estimate would be manoeuverability. If you can move the head heavy racket around just as fast as the head light, you can expect similar performance. ie 4U HH, 3U Balanced, 2U HL can POTENTIALLY have the same power.
you may need to use centripetal because it's not really linear acceleration. also among highschool players mp 99 is one of most common racquet along wiht nanospeed 9k
The NS9K is the worst racket for high school students with weak arm power. Most the people who buy NS9K at my school are rich and are weak. I tend to see low end rackets of MP and AT in my school because it is more flexible and people at my school prefer that. I think the best way to increase arm muscle power is to play tennis or go to the gym. Currently i can serve in tennis at 200-210km/h but would the speed be the same, slower or faster if i smash in badminton?
Just because they're in high school doesn't mean that they don't have the technique/power to use NS9k properly. The S version isn't uber stiff anyways, and most people use the S version.
Its different technique for tennis and badminton so its hard to say. I would say, you can do it! Go out there and blast it!
