I don't get it. Why do people complain about the weight of the ti-10 and mp-99/100. i have used all three rackets and found that they were pretty damn light. of course i could just be making a big jump from my cab 20 ms, but still, if you get anything lighter you'll be generating like no power! On a side note, I just used my new TI-10 today and I love this thing to death. It is perfect for singles and it boosts an already powerful arm. I can clear from one base line to the other easily! LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!
I am totally agree with you, for some good reason this ti-10 could be the most dangerous weapon for defeating your opponent. But on the other hand can Cab-21 be as good as ti-10..????
Rackets are ppl's perference. All the weight, tension, grip size, stiffness, etc have no "right or wrong" answers. Some ppl like certain kind, someone else might love something 180' opposite. If u like it, good for u. However, if ppl having trouble to masterize Ti-10, but playing perfect game with another racket, why not?
Power generation has nothing to do with the racquet. The player generates his own power based on his/her strength and the technique he/she uses. Different techniques are needed for racquets with different weights or balances in order to effectively TRANSFER the player's power to the shuttle.
Re: Re: Ti-10 Weight (well any racket really) Guys....it is true that the player determine the result of any match that he's or she's play....but my interest is in the term of the rackets design together with the compactcity materials...that makes the breaktrought on rackets technology.....and as i said earlier...it is a powerful weapon ...like a sword...to defeat your opponent...and it would not to considered on your personal skills....
The racquet design and materials will help to maximize the TRANSFER of the player's power to the hit... but if the player's power is poor to begin with.......... If the player can generate 200 units of power and he uses a racquet that can return 80% of it, he can utilize 160 units of it. If the racquet can return 90%, he uses 180 units. The difference is 20 units. If the player can only generate 100 units of power, the difference is only 10 units. 10 units can be easily neutralized by some smart play. If the opponent constantly makes the player hit shots out of position, the player won't come close to generating that 100 units. If the player's technique doesn't change to suit the racquet design, he may even LOSE power. The specs tell the racquet's potential. It's not a cookie cutter description of performance in any and every Joe's hand. Another thing is that with existing bad technique and so-called low-power racket, some shots may end up like weak drives or drops, which can be useful in some situations. Those same shots with the same bad technique and a high-power racquet can easily end up as half-court smashable shots.
well the racket does have some effect on the power. yea I am muscular, but then I have never been able to hit that far before. or maybe im just realizing my full power.
Hi lilayzunboi....just quirious...did you feel any paint at your wrist or arm while you are using this Ti-10...because I did feel some paint while using it, near at my elbow....just to shared....
lol...thanks smashharder! it was his racket. wait roymadd, do you mean pain? no i don't feel any pain.
I forgot to ask, but how strong is the Ti-10? Is it brittle like a Mp-99? If it is close to an mp99 then I am worried I will break it within like a week or two.
I wouldnt worry about breaking it, just dont throw it around, its pretty well built like 90% of the yonex racquets.
yes lilayzunboi...what i meant was pain....and not "paint" .... i need some inputs from all...currently i am having a pain at my arm..it is near around my elbow...i already tried to use a LP elbow guts ....it helps but only a bit.....after a few time hard smash ..the pain will come again.......is it due to the effective energy transfer from the rackets frames structure to my arm....or only Ti-10 were not good for me.....and i really need to find a nother rackets......?>?>?>?>?>
Ti-10 is head heavy. It tends to impart more torque on your arm during a swing. Check your swing to make sure you are using enough upper arm for the major part of the swing. Forearm swing will be continuation and follow through. And wrist for the snap. If you are keeping your arm bent at an angle and playing 'lazy' shots picking the bird low and when it gets really close to you, chances are you are using your forearm majorly. This would probably explain the pain in your elbow. What do the other guys think?
Elbow pain has nothing to do with the racquet that you are using. Its just the constant arm moving and the joints that are involved. You could be using the lightest racquet and play a lot of badminton and still have elbow pain. I know because I started developing elbow pain as well. It could be the birds that you are using as well, if you switched to a slower bird, you might have the tendency to want to hit the bird further, thus using more of your arm strength. Just my .02,
As far as your arm, you may be swinging your fore arm more than your upper arm. But smashharder.....I have awful awful awful awful awful awful awful awful news. You know how you said not to throw around the racket? Well, when I was playing very hard today and well....guess what happened...no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
lilayzunboi, You must kill those birds when you smash!! Im sorry to hear about that, I do have a MP100 sp that I would like to sell to buy a MP 99, if you are interested, let me know.
