    It sounds like your relying on your racquet then your skill/power(wrist snap) etc. There's nothing wrong with the racquet you just can't flex the shaft. And skill comes from yout not a few hundred dollar racquet.

    Yeah that is right, but if i gonna buy an expensive racket, it is to improve my play not to "destroy" it like at the moment.

    So i am gonna send it back.

    I think it is not right that i need i more felexible racket.

    Perhaps it is just the stringing and the tension, which causes problems.

    Both rackets are strung with BG80 and with a tension of 22Lbs

    Well my old broken stiff Ti-Smash weighted 100g! and is perhaps strung with a tension of max. 20lbs and lower.

    So i got brilliant smash power trough that bouncing and the mass of the racket. But even though i could controll the shuttlecook precisely.

    Perhaps i just buy that "fake" YOnex MP100 to give it a try.

    don't buy fake
    They are so much worse than clone and the orginal

    Maybe you might want to try AT700 since you mentioned your style of play is highly offensive

    Well.

    Why are Yonex-rackets made from Tawain fakes?

    If they are fakes, why Yonex doesn't do anything, since their name is used to provide products, which are "fakes"?

    hmm? i believe u are the one who think that taiwan made racket is fake in the 1st place. And i guess wat makes u think that the racket is made in taiwan is perhaps from the serial coding "TW" on the shaft.

    just my 2 cents

    Nope.

    Under shaft, on the small plattform, stands Tawain

    It is just the Forum which is always saying that YOnex must! be made from Japan, otherwise it is bad, fake etc...

    SO there is no problem with the MP100 made from Tawain for 90$?
    Thats good.

    It looks like there is a mis-understanding, which should be cleared up.

    Yonex high-end rackets are made in Japan.
    Yonex mid/low end rackets are made in Taiwan or China.

    So, when you mentioned a MP100 made in Taiwan - that would ring a bell why it is counterfeit correct?

    100Gram racquet is far heavier than that of AT800 or MP99. If you can't do baseline to baseline clear with ANY racquet I think it's just your technique that's messing you up. There's no point in going back to the store to trade in for another racquet because I predict you'll have the same problem with the MP100 (Fake or real). You should just buy a lower end Yonex model and practice your skills more.

    Well with the AT800m i can, but than i am at my limit of power and the acceleration of the racket..........after few shots i would get tired really fast.

    Well with the MP99 much easier.....

    BUt both got the problem that i don't have power at all with my smashes.

    Well perhaps there are many factors in play.

    First of all, i started to play again, since i stopped 2 years ago.

    Then the Ti-Smash got broken and i have to adapt to the new racket.

    Perhaps, i will get used to the MP99 and my smashes will come back in few months.

    BUt the racket is still to expensive.....;) .

    The best recommendation for you is to get back into shape back to how you were two years ago, before you consider looking into rackets.

    You could try AT800 DE.
