    Before we have any reviews, we need to make sure the racket is genuine.

    It is definitely genuine, no doubt about it, with SP code and Halogram sticker.

    Please post review if you have tried it. Thanks

    I am wondering why it is not widely available? Normally, if there is a new racket released by Yonex, either HK, JP, TW will have it in ADs.

    Again, it would be nice to see more pictures :)

    Having SP code and the sticker doesn't really tells if the racket being
    genuine or not.. if u read all those hundreds "how to spot a fake racket" old posts. u'll see how "real" fakes have become. So back to square one
    we need pics pics pics pcis more pics..

    So is it a new and authentic Ti-10? The colour scheme is like a NS 6000

    Pointless discussion

    Saying it is definitely genuine doesn't prove it is.
    Pictures don't guarantee that it is genuine either, but at least obvious fakes can be recognized, though it's possible that you can mistake a genuine racket as a fake.
    Yonex also does not publish a list of authorized Yonex retailers, so you can't really tell if a particular store sells genuine products.
    I'd suggest whoever is interested in buying one before it is public announced to contact Yonex directly to confirm that they are indeed reintroducing the Ti 10. Otherwise, wait and see if it appears in the next catalog.

    Side note: the old Ti 10's shaft does not indicate the balance. To me, the Ti 10 feels between even balance and head-light, in comparison to the AT500. I would say the Ti 10 is more headlight then MP77 which says "Even balance" on the shaft. Of course, Ti 10 is more head heavy then Ti 7, NS 7000, etc. My conclusion: it's possible for a reintroduced Ti 10 to be head light, but can't be certain that has to be head light.

    If they are without question, 100% genuine racquets, then i'm tempted to buy a couple of ti-10s' they work out at £84 ish each, delivered to the uk, including the credit cards fees.

    Checked with Sunrise Singapore and confirmed that the golden yellowish Ti-10 is similar to the old Ti-10 in all aspects except colour. They mentioned that all the while the old Ti-10 was never labelled as head heavy nor head light.

    With that being confirmed, can we say that the old Ti-10 is actually head light?

    Thanks.

    Neither the 2U nor 3U Ti10 was head light to me. :eek:

    Did you ask Sunrise if they were real Ti-10s?

    Pls remember racquet manufacturers have the right to change specs of any model without any prior notice to the public. If you want to be 100% sure that the new Ti10 is the same as the old one, just email or write (never 'phone for verbal info) to Sunrise and ask them to confirm in writing that the new Ti10 has exactly the same materials and other material specs as the old one, including the use of ultra high modulus graphite.
