    I'll have to say the same thing as Actros. Tee-ten just sounds weird :)

    hah.. try Tee-eye-one-zero.

    I hear a lot of people refer to the Ti-10 as 'Titan'.

    You can't go wrong if you say 'T-Eye-Ten'.
    After all, 'Titan' sounds like a cheap watch ;)

    ...or like a powerful god-like giant from mythology!:)
    How could you not like a racquet like that?:cool:

    (..of course the Titans lost in their battle against Zeus and his Olympic crew....)

    I think Ti-10 should be pronounced fully as 'Titanium Ten' because the alliteration is just so cute.

    It's not just Titan who lost :crying:
    I've broken three just this year.
    My stringer killed yet one more.

    Yes, this is a 'powerful' racquet... but, to me, it's quite weak in its build :mad:

    _______
    PS: For the reasons above, I vehemently and absolutely refuse to call it Titan.
