    MP 88 - two versions only differ in color...

    to execute fast smash - choose 4U

    to av deadly smash - choose 3U

    however smashing depends on ur strength le...

    head heaviness will only improve ur smash to a certain degree... it's still all depend u !!!

    and there is no 2U

    but

    the tension reccommendations are different
    blue one up to 22 lbs
    and red one up to 20 lbs only
    and 4U is lighter right?
    then why 4U is not for avoid deadly smash ?

    yea u r rite... yonex has increased their string tension recommendation... previously 3U rackets up to 20lbs... now 22lbs for MP serie

    we cannot avoid deadly smash... to return deadly smash would depend on the player lo...

    does it make any difference ?

    does it make any difference if the string reccommendations are different ?
    do they upgrade the racquet quality from 20lbs to 22lbs?
    or it is just their change the reccommendation only?

    Yonex tends to change colors of rackets just to promote sales, and I am sure if you email them ask them about it, they will tell you it's the same thing but different color.

    maybe they changed the scheme because it kind of looked like the AT700?

    Dude, it's the other way around. MP88 came out before AT700. ;)
    AT700 looks like MP88.

    I think what he meant was, since AT700 is new and more expensive, Yonex does not want ppl to get confused with MP88 (relatively old and cheaper). Therefore, "assign" the MP88 a new color to state the difference. :rolleyes:

    Might be... a very interesting thought, though... :)
