    As Master LB mentioned.

    What is better for me, may not be better for you; or for that matter, what is right for me, may not be right for you.

    Thank you to everyone who post their opinions, and experiences.

    Just as the old ti10 had its fans, and non-fans.

    The new colour ti10 has those that like it, and those that do not.

    Other things to factor in, people's preferences can change.

    I used to like stiff head heavy racquets.
    I used to like stiff well balanced racquets.
    I still like stiff head heavy racquets.
    I still like stiff well balanced racquets.
    I discovered I like stiff head light racquets. :)
    Pending practice later tonight, I may find that I like medium stiff racquets that are head light too :p
    Lesson here? stop buying so many racquets!!!


    All just personal preference.
    To OP, just to reiterate... take time to adjust to it, experiment with strings & tensions too.
    If you find it is not suitable there's tons of other fish in the sea.

    edit: spelling

    I think Ti-10 to strung with BG-65Ti is no good , BG-65 Ti is crap la this string ... too soft i felt . No matter what tension u're on , u'll never get their maximum potential .

    Currently i use BG-66 string with 23LBS , very good in defense and control , and base line shot , exept for smashing , u need to hit at their spot , then u'll get their maximum power .

    The new Ti-10 Chips VERY easily, the top portion is powdered on, not a normal paint job but I think it handles quite well. It feels flexy and is easy to control shots and the power is there when you need it.

    Don't scatch the racket if it chips easily! That also includes using the racket to pick up the shuttle off the ground.

    Indeed, the top portion of the head is powdered, and feels different. That part is by far the most easy to chip. I remember I had a very light clash with another racquet, I didn't even think it would've chipped, but to my dismay it did. :( And the paint on the side portions of the head are slightly better, but chips easily as well, or at least it chips more easily than my AT700's.

    Wakloo69, you may wish to try the marketplace section for pricing, a lot of our Sg & Malaysia friends are posting in there with some really great pricing.
    Hope that helps a bit.

    that's if u only valued smashes more so than other skills. Personal view is, 3U AT700 & SP GX can hammer better than the old ti10
