    hey guys,

    I don't have my Ti swing power SX SP version with me cause i'm getting it restrung at the moment. ..so i can't post the serial number right now.

    I got a question though..my serial number is a number like the rest of urs..but ends with HK

    like.. ******* ******HK

    is a ti swing that's an SP version supposed to have a serial like that with the HK.

    I wonder this because all the other serials you guys have posted for SP rackets all end with the SP code?

    Kwun..anyone? could you clear this up wiht me or give me any thoughtS?..whehter genuwine? fake? greatly appreciated.

    YF,
    That has been one of the "mystery" of the so called designation code used by Yonex.

    On some of their racquets, they will have the "SP" painted after the model as in ISOMETRIC 800 TOUR SP. Now, as far as I know, the "SP" designation code that the folks have been referring to is engraved on the code and is XXXXXXSP where the XXX's are numbers. For example, my old Yonex ISO 600 has the SP painted on the shaft and the SP code engraved on the code.

    In your case, your racquet is a HK version.

    well, kwun, i got my friend to buy my racket for me..he bought it in Hong Kong. I guess from winex's explaination, i'm kinda believing it's an HK version now..but i still don't get why it says "Isometro TI swing power SP" and have HK in the serial?

    i have no clue what the SP on the shaft means.. as far as i know SP on the cone means Singapore or South Pacific. My Cab20 tiPower also has SP on the shaft.

    well...i'm 99% certain now (thanks to winex) that the SP on the cone is Singapore...

    anyways,
    I'm still interested if anyone can tell me why it says "Iso Ti swing power SP" on the shaft...but HK for the code?
