    My friend broke his MP88 and it is well known Yonex had stopped producing this racket.
    MP88 is his favorite and he would like to find a racket which has most close performance.

    Anybody got suggestion?

    Many thanks

    Hmm... I can still find a few MP88 in Singapore and yes, it is rare to spot one nowdays.

    How about MP99, have your friend give it a try yet?

    The MP45 might be closer to the Mp88 in flex, but probably more even balanced. Worth a try if your friend can get a hand on one

    I'm guessing though, as I haven't tried either rackets out.

    I've heard that the AT150 is also a close match to MP88, not sure how true it is as well.

    No problem ;). At least I've picked up some information this time round, so it should be me saying "Thanks!" :D.

    SP coded MP88 are still widely available, maybe I can have one shipped to you from HK, even with the shipping cost, it'll still be cheaper than buying in UK.
