I phoned yesterday to National Sports Centre and asked if they carried the MP55. The guy checked and he only found MP50. The MP50 retailed for $60 in change. Is that the real MP50 or 55? Quite inexpensive considering most retailers sell it for just over $100.
There are MP55 at Edmonton Sportcheck stores, list price $139, on sale for $99. Yonex offered for $88 including GST at the recent local tourney.
Did you ask if it was Yonex? I don't think that's actually mp-55... national wouldn't import from Japan... (MP-50) and if they did it would cost way more. What's their number...?
Sportcheck at Calgary Trail. There were 2 left 2 weeks ago. 1 at the west edmonton mall. U might talk to the store manager (Calgary Trail) for a deal that YY had offered.
MP-55 in Edmonton When I went to the Sportchek in West Ed last time they were out of MP-55. Calgary Trail had 2 or 3. And the $99.99 price is without stringing. Stringing cost at SportChek would cost a further 25 or so dollars. Sportchek's wilson hyper carbon 5.0 is not a bad value at $99.99 also. It comes with factory-strung strings. Also, at $99.99 is the Techno Pro Ti-1700. This is pretty cheap considering that it is Techno's highest end titanium racquet, in fact their highest end racquet overall but I have heard it is too heavy and quality can't match other major brands.
The... The National Sports in Scarborough. I asked if he carried MP55. He replied, "I'll go and check." He came back and told me, " I don't have the MP55 but I have MP50." "Retails for $60 something." I was surprised and will go in person to check the racquet out.
Re: MP-55 in Edmonton There were 3 at the West Ed Mall when I checked out last night. All 2U, 1 G2, 2 G3.
NOpe, just phoned scarbrough national... they don't carry the MP line. I'm pretty sure the guy who told u there was mp-50 probably meant iso-50 or something.
MP-55 is a very good racquet and cheap too for it's quality. Powerful and good control. Head heavy may take some time to get used. Don't get it strung at sport chek.. I heard their stringing sux and 25 bucks is a lot for stringing.. well depending on what string I suppose......
Nah, I haven't gotten a new racquet yet. The MP-55 is one of my potential choices. I'm still looking around. I still have to see what deals Sweet Spot has for their racquets........
Well, its no special "deal" that they are making with me. I just want to see their entire assortment of racquets and then compare with other stores such as Sportchek. I haven't been able to go to Edmonton for a while now so I am waiting for the next time I go. But if I see something there that is definitely a good deal compared to other places, I will be sure to post!! BTW, does anybody know how much their stringing usually cost and with what kind of strings?
HERE ARE THE PRICES OFFERED BY SWEET SPOT : MP55 - $119 MP77 - $199 MP100 - $300 BG65 - $11 BG65Ti - $16 LABOR COST OF STRINGING - $14 THEY ALSO CARRY BG70, BG68Ti, BG80 etc I HEARD THEY HAVE EXCELLENT STRINGING MACHINE & TECHNIC.
