As stated above, the MP-99 is a an extremely balanced racket. As such, it has excellent control characterisitics and I think it is best for defensive play, althought a lot of people here say its one of the most all-rounded rackets. As for the Ti-10, its head-heavy so its definitely offensive. I'll tell you guys more about it when I get mine next week.
Ti 10 3U is very balanced in my opinion, with a little "extra punch". With the 2U version, I will agree it is very offensive and less manuevreable.
If your are an offensive type of player, and have the skill/strength to handle the ultra stiffness, then, I think MP100 and Ti10 could be better choice(s) for you. If you prefer defensive/all around style, MP99 might be a better fit.
If you have experience with ultra stiff (and heavy, and Ti-10 3U is hard to find) rackets, guess you will be fine. However, if not, you will find all 3 rackets might need quite a bit time to adjust with.
Didn't you say you wanted to know which one is the most well overall balanced? Ti-10 is far from being a balanced racquet, its quite head heavy and very stiff. Overall balanced should be Mp99. I'm confused now.
What did you exactly mean by "overall balance"? Did you mean the "weight balance in overall" or "Just the whole racquet" ? Weight balance: MP-99 has more even balance on the weight distribution (than others). Whole Racquet: There is No answer because there are no "better" racquets, there are normally 2 types of racquets: Racquets that suit you & Racquets that don't suit you. If you are still confused, do a search, We have compared them in many ways and many aspects before, I am sure you can find what you want in old threads/database.
I think overall balance is refering to being good for every type of shot, not where the balance point of the racket is. Even-balance would be the term for MP99.
By the way, if you couldn't reach your final decision, since you are from Taiwan, and you could just buy all 3 of them and try them out yourself since racquets are not expensive in Taiwan
Still wasting money to buy 3 rackets just for trying, even though it maybe cheap. Makes better sense to donate it to a worth cause, like food bank.
Can't you do Math? He is looking for 1 racquet out of 3 racquets, that is, he is choosing one out of three. So, he will at least buy 1 racquet, and that means, if he bought all 3 of them, only 2 will be considered as your "wasting money" racquets. Even more, if he like 2 or even all of them, then there will be less wasting.
1. Regarding racket choice. Go ahead with Ti 10, but swing around before you buy it. As the 2U version is quite heavy, but it will deal incredible smashes. As for adjusting, I haven't found any real need to adjust to using one myself; seems easy to use, even though I'm no pro myself. 2. Regarding bleujeff. Can't do math? Silly question, since I'm studying in the Faculty of Mathematics in University of Waterloo. Perhaps he's asking because he wants advice, instead of buying them all. Suppose he likes them all. But does he want to get all of them? He's asking because he wants the best one. Ever heard of economics? Maybe he can't afford 3 rackets at once? I suppose you can't see that there are more important things in life to care about than getting loads of Yonex rackets. Such a pity.
Then Could you explain why you didn't understand that 3-1=2 thing? (He wants to buy one racquet out of 3, and how many he is NOT buying?) Ever heard of economics? That's funny, and do you even know what it means? I am sure buying all 3 of them will be the best help to economics, especially for Yonex, INC. The word you are looking for should be "Budget" or words similar to that. I already said if he can buy racquets from Taiwan, then it would be less cost. Do you even have any idea how much racquets cost in Taiwan? It's like at least 40% off of the retail in Canada. And look very carefully, I say "you could" in my previous thread, NOT you "should". There you go. And where did you get that "suppose" from? now that's a real pity because you can't justify on what you said (because I didn't say anything about it from previous thread, so too bad, no quote for you)
i know i'm gonna get flamed by everyone on this board when i say that you should use mp100 haha. i personally used mp100 for about....1.5 years and its been a very decent racket. mp100 is made as an offensive racket but it is very easy to move around and fast swings can be executed if you have a heavy grip attached to it. just the overall power is great and its pretty good on defense as well. taiwan rackets go up to 60% off if you know where to look. i bought my mp100 for about 75 bucks canadian and my armo800 OFF for 160 bucks canadian. =D it helps to have business people in the family.
