    1.If you have one, shouldnt you be able to answer that?

    2.Did you not even try the racket before you bought it?

    3.Do a search

    go easy on him.....he is only 13....he must get encouragement from *adults* that he is good, and that what he has is good

    yeah... be proud of it as it is quite a flexible and forgiving racquet yet you can generate good clearing and smashing power out of it. you'll like it as it is one of the many Yonex racquet BFers recommended. :)
    now work on your technique to underleash its full potential. gogogo :D

    Ok, point well taken. I was under a lot of pressure today at work, if I said anything too "negative", please excuse me. ;)

    For MP88, it's light and flex. Therefore, if u have weak arm, or prefer the quick swing over powerful strokes, it might be a good fit for ur game and future development. ;)

    can we expound on the topic of rackets for the weak-of-arm?

    do i take it then that rackets with stiff shafts such as the iso-sx, ti10 and mp100s are generally not suited to those with weak swings?

    what other rackets would a weak swinger benefit from?

    You could start another topic asking about it?

    The only solution for people with weak swings is to practice the swing. Maybe even get a heavier racket just to build muscles. When I started badminton, my swing was weak, and today, it's a different story. Buying a racket to suit a weak swing is NOT the solution.

    MP88 is probably a fine racket..whether you like it is a matter of taste...which changes as you play. Like how I didn't like Ti 7 before..and then now I like it.

    I suggest you play with MP88 and see if you like it..if you don't, save it for later or sell it even.
