    My (Old) TI-10!

    I love this racket!

    Since buying them back around (2000ish cant remember the year), i have always come back. The latest racket i tryed to replace it with was the ARC Saber 7. I figured i would go for a good defence and live with the power reduction. Wrong. Even after getting to a mens doubles final with the Arc7 i just couldnt get the same feeling. I cant descide the sensation-maybe perfection? Unfortunatly i only have one left after a few met sticky ends. Im torn now, when she finally gives up the ghost where will i go? I am tempted to try the new (head light) version as people have said the power is still there-but is this true? New Arc saber? Or pray that she lasts forever.

    God i love this racket!

    Since when did the old Ti-10 become a 'she'? :eek:
    If anything, its personality should suggest otherwise :p

    Well, you should try the new Ti-10 :)

    It is definitely a 'she' - something you care about!

    To me, the rackets I've tried that have the most similar feelings with old Ti-10 are arcsaber 10 and NS8000 (2U). But arcsaber 10's shaft is flexible and numb, while NS8000 is head light balance so you can't generate as much power as when using Ti-10.

    Old Ti-10 is unique, take good care of it and smash as hard as you can.
