Looking for comments on the Ti-80 especially, as I have the Ti-70 Long but have some arm pains. Would anyone who has used both the Yonex Ti-80 and the old Ti-70 98" Long care to comment on how they compare?
I love the Ti-70 Long, but am wondering how the shorter and more open-patterned Ti-80 would compare. Seems like it would friendlier on the arm/shoulder, but does it retain similar pinpoint control of the Ti-70 Long? Or is it simply the switch from open to closed pattern that has me thinking the Ti-70 has so much control? A Yonex rep told me they are from the same mold, but the Ti-80 is obviously standard length and less strings, and is made with more flex. In other words if you simply chopped the Ti-70 Long down to 27", it would be stiffer than the Ti-80.
I play more from the baseline, but am trying to develop into more of an all-courter : I know the Ti-80 is great for serving and volleying; is it well-rounded enough to not be a liability from the backcourt?
