    Hi I Got Few MMOA Racket from my friend, Ex Internasional Player From Taiwan He said this is the most popular racket in Taiwan , I wanna give a review about few type of this racket, Hope this help.

    MMOA MBR 8900 Review

    Racket : MMOA MBR 8900
    Specs : 4UG2 -> same with yonex 3ug5
    Strings: MMOA String ( Supplied )
    Grip: Original Grip from MMOA
    Price : About NT $5200

    Physical Look:the physical look is similiar with armortec 700, short handle with isometric frame

    Racket review
    First time I saw this racket i just thinking it is the clone of armortec Power because the letter power in the top of the frame,but when the first time I swing the racket the racket feel more flex,but has power. This racket is similliar with armortec 800 offensive but it has short handle,the feel when hitting the shuttle very good due it slightly stiff shaft. the defense and maneuverability is quite good too.

    Conclusion:

    Feel: 9/10
    Control: 8.5/10
    Power: 8/10
    Defense: 8.5/10
    Maneuverability: 8/10

    Yonex racket To Compare: Mix Of Armortec 700 and Armortec 800 Offensive

    have you measured the BP?
    The cosmetic is quite interesting. What is the price range of this racket?

    Racket looks great.. MMOA factory OEMs to many brands (think it is the same factory as Victor and many other brands).

    At800 off, is very stiff, so I am a bit puzzled why you find them similar if this is more flexy? Are you reffering to the balance point, swingspeed and not shaft stiffness??

    It Says MMOA Japan on the cone, do MMOA have a Japanese facory as well (or is it just company "marketing" )

    If it scores an 8/10 on the power scale, when it's somewhat like an at700/at800...
    what kind racket could possible score your 10/10? :p

    Hey I got Good News About this racket yesterday I try this racket to few Indonesian Pro Veteran player From PB Libra There is one of them are ex junior asian champion and ex Thomas Cup player too, they all agree that this racket is the best from all MMOA racket that I got MBR 7004,MBR 7011,MBR 900,MBR force 777, MBR 60000 ( review will be added Soon) , They all agree the feel of this racket is quite good but still had Power.

    Yes there are many type of MMOA racket is very chromish, the famous one is the Gold Chrome MBR 900 Which its feel like at 800 defensive.and the new one is vision type it named vision cause all people will look at you when u are playing at the court :p .
    Here the MBR 900
    http://www.yumo.ca/Products/MMOA MBR-900_1.jpg
    From what I know only one factory that create gold racket too,it is kimoni but the Kimoni racket is limites edition racket which very2 expensive and got hard case.

    Can U Imagine? GOLD CHROME RACKET MAN ,People will look at u when u playing at the court,wkwkwkwkwk ;p

    The pricerange is from $30 to $200 ,the balance point is 285




    Yes the racket is quite good ,it can hold the tension well, I string the racket at 30lbs and there is no problem.And there is a warranty if the racket crack it can be return to the seller in taiwan to examine what is the cause and make a better racket with better Quality Control in the future,my friend who deliver this racket said.


    My at 800 Offensive IP coded 3ug5 not to stiff even more flex than my at 700, if u got at 700 it is something like at 700 stiffnes ,but a little bit more flex.Or maybe if your at 800 offense stiff (maybe asian version and european version different) ,maybe it feel like your At 800 defensive,so it is slightly stiff, Got My point?
    Sorry make u abit confused ;P .

    MMOA racket make in Taiwan and Japan,the one I post is made in Taiwan and the version in Taiwan and in Japan is different,

    http://www.mmoa.com.tw/
    http://www.mmoa.co.jp/mbr96.html

    But the racket which made in taiwan still under the inspection of japan MMOA that is why they added "MMOA Japan" Words in the Cone

    my rating for score 10 is Armortec 900 Power JP and CP Version not SP Version ,I call It Armortec Monster cause I can Produce smash better than my MP 100 0r ti 10 ,but the problem I dont like AT 900 Power manuver.And That is Why I Give this racket rating 8,cause 9 for another Yonex racket like 2u Ti10 or 2u MP100 or at 700 ,I give the review as objective/ as accurate I can cause I cannot compare MMOA power to yonex, MMOA lower lah,But the Feel Is Superb ,that is why veteran player like it.

    BP at 285 is definitely a head light racket.
    It surprise me if it has power.
    Looking forward to hearing/reviewing your head heavy racket.

    No it is not a headlight racket I know headheavy is upper then 290 but 285 is quite good for attacking , My prince Oversive platinum BP 285 but can produce a huge amount of power.U can see the word power in the frame.I can send U the racket if u wanna try :p

    what I mean it is same as armortec offensive is the swing feel when smacking the shuttle not the BP.U better try it,Buy it on line some where lah :p
