    SP coded of course....

    But I'd recommend MP66, it is very easy to use. Headlight and flexiable.
    My gf uses one as well.

    it's interesting how some people can post that 'xxx' racquet is great for a beginner without giving any reasons. Since I have ti-10, mp88 and ns7700 and since i've just moved from beginner status to very low intermediate, I can say that 7700 is by far a superior beginners racquet because of the feedback to the user. You may of course disagree 100%, but please post a reason so that we know why...

    Without giving reasons, I can say things like beginners should use Carbonex 8, GREAT RACQUET! and because I said it in CAPS, you should believe me :p

    Which actually, is what many beginners used in the 1980s, so theres a bit of truth in that :)

    Err... I do believe that in the 1980s, this is actually the state of the art racket used by many advanced players. I still see them in use today and I still own one.

    It's a great racket at its time whichever way you look at it.

    I started with a carb 8 too!! One can try Gosen FP-6, very flexible and easy on the forearms/wrist.

    Thanks to everyone for your kind suggestions! Now I am debating between MP29Light ($75) and MP66($110). Which one would be a better choice? Are there any big difference except price? It seems they are both light and flexible.

    I agree at a low price too
    You should always start with something cheaper rather than start with a 200 dollar racket cause of the mis hitting when u 1st start out. When you get better u can go for the 200 dollar ones ;)
