Wrong specs and heavy! Mar 30, 2010 By Moi Van
This is not a graphite racket. It is a steel shaft and maybe an aluminum head. It is heavy because of its steel shaft and aluminum head. This can be a beginners racket if they want to train with a heavy racket to build up their wrist muscle and swing speed. It is also good for beginning if they hit the floor or other people's racket often which will not break this racket easy.

Other than those two uses I don't think it is a fit for any beginners or any type of player at all. I was planning to use this as a backup racket thinking it is graphite but ended up looking for another racket as a backup. Very heavy and slow racket to play with.

Overpriced backyard racket. Sep 15, 2009 By Babbo
The specs listed here are completely at odds with those listed in the Yonex catalog and website. The Mp5 is has an aluminum frame (head) and steel shaft. That's why it's weight is rated U (95.0-99.9g). It's also undoubtedly why the shaft is rated as stiff, again, completely at odds with the specs listed here. Lastly, I find it highly doubtful that any intermediate player (whoever that description is meant for) would waste their time with this racket.

Both of these are factors in why this is a poor choice for anyone as a racket. A newer player is most likely not going to be able to get enough speed and strength into their swing to properly flex a stiff racket; consequently most people suggest a medium flex racket for beginners. The extra weight isn't going to help newer players either; they're already going to have a harder time with most shots; having a heavier racket than other players will only put them at more of a disadvantage. Against other more experienced players, even 10 grams can make a big difference.

Last but not least is the matter of price. If you look around, you can get a graphite shaft/head racket for $30. It might not be a Yonex, but it will be better than this poor excuse for a racket. Beginners should consider shelling out a bit of extra cash for a semi-decent racket. It doesn't have to be top of the line, but chances are you'll be playing with it for a while so saving an extra $20-40 probably won't be worth it for the most part, especially if you end up buying this sad little racket.

It is just ok, not great May 19, 2011 By RallyKat
This racket is just ok. It is quite heavy and stiff, making it a little hard on the wrist. The specs say it's 95-100g weight, which is not impressive. It is only $25, which is good, but so is the Muscle Power 3, which is rated at 90-95g weight, which is lighter. I haven't used the Muscle Power 3 before, but with a lighter weight and a graphite shaft, it will probably have better playability than this racket.

Good Racquet. Inaccurate Specs Oct 07, 2010 By Palmtwee
The racquet itself was nice. A little heavy, but useful for developing speed + strength.
Smashes are solid. Good racquet for it's price.

Look up accurate specs on Yonex website.
