    OK, I happened to pass by Ranking sports, and I took the image with my phone, so... image qualities may be compromised, though not the qualities of the Ti-10...:D

    Hmm...i still prefer the old Ti10 "almost all black" colour, truly a "fierce-looking" racket. :p This new colour seems abit similar in colour to the NS6000...dats how i feel lah. :D Knew how highly durable or "scratch-proof" the old Ti10's paintwork is, i doubt this will be the same durability. :(

    Nice color. I think Yonex is going into bright colors now. White, Yellow , Blue schemes.

    Now that the new fashionable Ti-10 is out, any one wanna dump their boring old Ti-10's in my dircetion ? Of course I will cover the shipping. :D

    Judging by the power bumps near the throat, the racket is either fake or Yonex have tinkered with it.

    Also the verticle gap to the first cross is unusually large. This isn't right at all. I thought big gap there is bad and Yonex corrected it on the NS9k.

    If the pic represents a real Yonex racket, this day has to be declared a day of mourning for the passing of a true legend. Many years have Yonex tried to do the Ti-10 in. This time I fear they will succeed, for they are supplanting the one and true with an insidious imposter. Whilst people cheer at what pretty new clothes the imposter is wearing, the true king is dragged away to the gates of hell and done away with mercilessly.

    since the picture isn't complete, it's hard to tell if the racket is genuine.
    Also, it's weird that there is no ad or people's saying around. If it's a real new Ti-10, it should be a bigger news than all other new rackets.

    Basically, only three things can get a well known racquet to discontinue production. One is the supplier of the prepag to Yonex no longer makes the raw material. Second is that the costs of the prepag have risen to a level that doesn't make sense to continue production. Third is there is not enough demand to economically run a production batch. You have no control over any one.

    I managed to get hold of the racket earlier on, realised not just the colour has changed. The shaft is written with the following texts.

    1. High Modulus Graphite
    2. Head Light Balance

    The original one is written with Ultra High Modulus Graphite on the shaft, and feel Head Heavy.

    In addition, the frame is now with Muscle Power Grommets for the Main holes.

    I tried swinging the racket, it does feel Head Heavy, not sure whether it is typo. And I think this is not just change in colour, the material used has also been changed. So believed this is a Marketing Gimmick, a new racket with a old popular brand name.
