iso 750 replacement

Carbonex Player · 10-12-2002, 12:43 AM

my iso 750 just cracked
life expectancy is not long

it's still playable but i want some suggestions on which racquets would be a good replacement.

i feel that iso 750 was a great racquet!
clears are quite effortless, drops and net shots are also nice.
bg85 seem's to bring out great performance in this racquet, excellent feel.
it's discontinued now and there's only one place dat i know of that has them in toronto.

so the big question is, should i get another one for $165? CAD
or buy a different racquet, perhaps a higher end racquet
eg. ti10 etc.
i dun have a broad experience in racquets

What i have in mind is:
ti-10
ti-8
mp-77
iso 750
perhaps iso ti sp

other suggestions are welcomed, plz provide feed backs and comparisons with iso 750 if possible, although it's not a very popular racquet.

thx, the decision is quite urgent.

I own a MP77, Boron2, and Carbonex23. I would rate them as follow:

MP77 9.5 out of 10
Boron2 9 out of 10
Carbonex23 7.5 out of 10

I don't have experience with other titanium racquet.

Hope this help.

heh, pretty ironic... carbonex players using an iso racket

as for the ti10 it may not be that easy to find now as they are discontinued...

it all depends on how much $$$ u wanna shell out to buy a new racket. i currently own an mp77 and im lovin it.

head heavy rackets: its unanimous that the ti 10 is the way to go

head light: ti 7 light, mp99, mp88

even: mp77, mp100

just some rackets choices for u

gd luck

actually, it's not carbonex player who's posting
*im his bro, just lazy to register a name.

Koyo (Yo's sports owner) suggested mp77 , but im not extactly a hard hitter.
my smash aren't bad, from time to time eg. 2/10 smashes are quite hard.

im having a hard time deciding b/c i dun have a broad experience w/ racquets.

so far, i've tested

ti-8
mp88

mp88 has surprising power
ti-8 has nice control

although only a few long rallies w/ them, still having a tough time deciding.

it would help if more ppl can provide feed backs
thx

SS,SX,SR,SA

Carbonex Player · 10-13-2002, 07:50 PM

CP, demo what Koyo has for demonstration purposes. I don't know what he has for demos at the present time, but if you demo the various racquets you can get a better feel for the various racquets.
