    Hi there,

    I am interested in purchasing an MP90 or MP99 racquet for myself. I've been reading some posts here about these two racquets. If you have a new one to sell, pls let me know what the difference between these two are.

    I prefer to buy the racquet in Canada only so I don't have to pay for duties. Thank you and pls reply to: soho@mts.net

    Yes, they're suppose to be the same rackets.

    But durability wise, JP and CN/CP models are definately more durable than others.

    On yonex.co.jp, I see that the MP90's gripsize is G4.5.
    In Canada, I see that the MP99 is available with gripsizes
    G4 and G5. Does the MP90 really come in only G4.5?

    Pecheur is right, G4.5 is a grip size in itself, my iso 900 SP SS has this grip size!

    I have recently changed to a MP99, and i think the racket is amazing, so much more power then my old iso 800!

    but JP versions tend to be more 3u... or is it all the same with the asian market except for SP versions?

    a little confused, so G4.5 is only made for the Iso-Ti SP and Iso-900 but not mp99? Not sure what you mean, marky.

    yeah. that's correct. the only racket that has a G4.5 grip is the Iso900SwingPower and TiSP series. (maybe even the Iso500SwingPower series? i have never used those before)

    oh I see, thanks kwun and marky. Basically G4.5 is something only "swing power" model racquets have. Interesting. Now I just wonder why they would make something like that. :D

    What? I don't really get what you meant....

    R u saying that JP, CN/CP rackets are lighter than others such as SP? They're not!
    JP, CN/CP rackets are generally heavier and that's probably one reason why it's more durable and can take higher stringing tension.

    I think that's a factor that depends on the distributor, not on wether the racket is labelled JP or SP.

    well at the beginning of the year I asked my aunt in Taiwan to get me 2X MP100 from Taiwan, I specifically asked for 2U g3, but it turned out the rackets that were brought to me were 3U G5. They said that model (weight and grip size) is the only type they are offering at the store... and the store was the distributor for Yonex in Taiwan! :eek: :confused:

    Of course it didn't effect me much since i just put on tons of overgrip and started playing :p
