    i am about to replace my clonex mp 77.

    my budget is measly, around 3 thousand pesos.

    i would like to buy a decent racket at that price.

    i am open to a winex, a victor, or even a mid range yonex.

    i like my racket on the light side.

    any suggestions? i saw some nice victors at the valle verde sports shop, reaosnably priced...where can i see more choices?

    also winex...where can we get them in manila?

    also, what would be the best tension for me who plays more on power than control? any particular string?

    thanks a bunch.

    for P3000 you can get two clonex MP series. but if you're looking for winex,go to chris sports. have you seen the clonex mp99? yun naman ay P1700 without strings. but the others like MP55,77,100,200 and 300 ay P1500 also without strings. you can reach me thru +639178341208 (mobile number).

    i did see some carbonex series rackets for P3000 at planet sports, rockwell. I think they have all the cabs at that price. I suggest u check it out there. A friend, bought a cab 21 special at P3000 there.

    not anymore. i also bought a cab21 special last november for P2550 on sale. the orig price then was P3000. i wanted to buy another one before new year. it was already P4200. with your budget, you can get a cab9 tour for P3200 or cab8100 light for only P1800. also at planet sports.

    hey ...

    thanks for the prompt responses.

    re: winex...how is the build and quality? is it like kason? i got a kason just for kicks before...light but easily bent.

    what cab would approximate the weight of an mp 77?

    bambini...are your clonex rackets class A fakes?

    Hi Bambini,

    How can I tell if the MP99 or MP100 that they're selling me is a fake or an original one?

    i dunno if these are class A fakes. i have sold more than 30 pcs since november last year so far. wala pa naman nagreklamo. presently,i'm using an mp99. i suggest that you get another clonex instead of the winex. same factory lang yan galing. that was what the store owner told me when he ordered in taiwan. how to spot a fake? sa mp100, everything is similar except that the original have serial numbers on the shaft and cone. but there are clones that also have serial numbers. sa mp99 naman, the grommets on the original are the same sa mga orig mp55,77 and 88. that is the long black w/ red grommet near the neck/shaft portion of the racket. and the yy logo at the bottom of the handle is kinda distorted. but generally, the craftsmanship is excellent. one more thing is the price. orig mp99 and 100 costs no less than P8000 in the market.

    hi again bambini,

    when you say clonex? do you mean fake yonex or its brand is really clonex? i'm thinking of buying a 99 but am scared to pay for it if i can't tell fake from real.

    anyway, i got a flypower mp100 for P2,500.00 with yonex bg-65ti string. i found the tension a bit loose. what tension should i put on it? is 23 or 24 still safe on it?

    thanks for your help.

    vjmd calls it clonex for clone na yonex. what's a flypower mp100? if you want i can give it to you for P2150 with orig yonex bg65 string. black lang ang available color left. sold out ang light colors. it can withstand 25lbs. like i told you earlier, there are some distinguishing marks on the orig stuff. and if it's below P7000,it's definitely a fake.

    it comes with a thermal bag similar to that of your mp77. they improved it by having the yonex logo on the strap and zipper. sorry, i can't post pics. no digi cam.

    hey bambini...you think a P2250 price for a fake yonex mp99 is fair enough? with string, but i forgot the string brand.
