What's up with the new YouTek?

[Kick Serve 14]

I just saw that TW put up the new YouTek rackets, uncluding the Extreme. Comparing the Specs between the YouTek Extreme MP, and the MG Extreme MP, I have noticed that there is a big difference in the specs. Can anyone fathom a guess as to why? Are they trying to make is somewhat more of a players stick that the previous MP's? Keep in mind I am not reffering to the Pro version. I was tempted to demo this, but now, I'm not so sure...

Anyone? Bump?

to me it looks like they are making it less of a players stick ( less weight, lower stiffness )

That's annoying. I guess I'll be skipping this line of Extreme's...

The new one seems to have marginally more power where it matters most (centre sweetspot and tip) have a look at their power maps compared.

However the description now says "low" pwer rather than the old one's "low-medium" so maybe it is overall going down in power...

Besides that the new head shape appears less round? And a littles less swingweight.


ps. I don't know why, but every player I've played against who had the Extreme seemed to have an unfair advantage over me!
