issarakaya, since you are a long time user of TI-10, perhaps you can advise on how high the string tension can go? The guy at PC recommended 24 lbs which I think is way too low for a racquet of this range? I went with 25 lbs. Advise from other long time users most welcomed.
^ I dont know for sure but some member here use 28-30 lbs if i'm not wrong Looks @Dink racket review, he use 28lbs Mine is 26X28 lbs but not too sure since the stringer using old machine (perhaps he dont calibrate often) Btw, tension is personal preference and i use BG66 Sharp....if you strung with other string type / brand tension might be different too.
My experience in ti-10 3rd edition, is that is a very good racket. It is difficult to get used of it ( or this only my problem because i was always using armotec rackets). But when you do it is a very good racket. I think is more an all-around racket, good in offense ( better if you have strong wrist ), in defence is good (not so good as arm900t that i was using before) the light head helps you to move the racket fast for forhand side to backhand side. The racket is very good, i can say excelent for the price, it is a very good choise for players with good level.
You may feel this way because you probably have a 3U 1st gen. 2U Ti-10 is a beast. It is a hammer to smash. Defense is decent, but certainly slower than desired.
Totally agree. I have a 3rd gen. Took it out for the first time today. So didn't feel any slowness at all for defense, perhaps i'm used to even slower rackets. But at the last round I was finally getting used to it and was having a smash fest. Best thing is, i didn't feel any soreness. Normally i do when using my old racket or anyone of my friend's racket. It's worth every single cent.
BCL did use Ti-10 for singles, well previously. I've seen photos before and they were 100% Ti-10s. Well, I guess now he switched to ARC10.
:crying: my Ti-10 shaft paint chipped already.....damn. Clashed racquet with an auntie in doubles.....:crying::crying::crying: But on the other hand, noticed that the shaft is made of a honeycomb like material. Is that the titanium mesh??? But stilll.....:crying::crying::crying:
bro jk1980... i just got new Ti-10 from a friend... but after string and went back only realize big paint chip in frame area.. dunno i knock somewhere or stringer fault.. heart pain...
after buying the yellow Ti-10 and using it for a good 4 months, when reverting back to the old red-black Ti-10, the feeling is just incomparable. As of now I'm still a die hard fan of the ORIGINAL Ti-10. The specs of it just perfectly matches up into a combination that works, its head heaviness put together with it's stiffness is great. I love the solid feel and control when hitting the shuttle. I've tried finding replacements for it, since the original is very hard to obtain now, but had no luck. I've tried AT 900 Power, AT-900 Tech, AT-700 Limited, Ti-10 Yellow. They are all decent racquets but to me not the same as Ti-10. Right now i'm interested in trying out the ARC 10 cause it seems pretty similar, guess i know what i want for my christmas present this year
issarakaya, I don't get what's the reason for different tension for vertical and horizontal lines. Can explain a bit ar
Errr make your frame head still look propotional i tried to string in 26 lbs all and the head look more rounder hehehehehehehe
