    The Japanese yen's too strong now.. the exporters in Japan are having alot of problems.

    Maybe Shuttle-House should lower the price for foreign buyers.. since they're trying to clear out their stock.

    The Yen is just too good at the moment. Even discounted the old model TC700 is the same price here as a ArcSaber 10!

    Found some images of the real model, and also the GP80.. :O

    [​IMG]

    As you can see, the GP88 has an oval frame and the paint scheme on the frame looks similar to that of the ArcSaber series.

    The other model, the GP80 has a large isometric frame. It's described by Mizuno as a defensive racquet whilst the GP88 is an offensive racquet.

    They are both head-heavy racquets.

    '403 Forbidden' it says

    Okay, cut and paste worked. Nice! Classy looking rackets.

    The real image of the racquet looks better than the one as pictured in the Mizuno catalogue!.. glossy.

    Now I just need to find a place that doesn't sell them for prices that make Yonex' blush.

    Some more updates:

    GP80:
    [​IMG]
    Defensive "counter-attacking" racquet with large sweet spot. Head-heavy.

    GP77:
    [​IMG]
    Aero+round frame for swift maneuverability and quick attacking. Head-light

    GP70:
    [​IMG]
    Head-light defensive racquet with a large sweet spot. Wait for the chance to attack the opponent's open space.

    IMO, the GP88 may be the perfect attacking racquet for oval-frame lovers. It should be as maneuverable as an Aerotus, and yet as powerful as an armortec..

    All of these new GP series racquets are made of graphite, high-modulus graphite and Carbon Nanotube.

    I visited Shuttle-House and saw the GP88 in stock. About the same stiffness as a W7, and very head-heavy.
