Hi This is my first post here in the forum and like so many others I would like some advise on choosing a racket. I´ve been playing now for a year after a few years break from badminton. I played for 10 years but then I went to university and stopped playing. Now I´m back and I´m so happy with it cos I just love playing. I play single, double and mixed double and my style is rather offensive and I like to try and control the game. I´m using the MP-27 and although its a nice racket I would like something else and I have a choise between Mp-99 and MP-88. Is there anyone here that has used these rackets and can tell me the difference in playing with them cos I´m not sure I can try them before I buy. SRune
From your description, I would say sounds like MP99 might be a safer choice, as it's more all around. MP88 is a good racket, if you really prefer light racket, as it's also avaiable in 4u. If you can't get a demo from local store, maybe consider borrow from fellow club members? At least, do some drills for like 5-10 min? Still, try your best to get your hand on one, before looking for your checkbook or credit card.
It's just up to your choice... I own MP 99,88,TI 10... For your style (offensive) and consider you've played for 10 years... MP 99 fits you... Or TI 10, it's a more offensive model compare with MP 99, but MP 99 is more "All round".
