The one thing that I liked the most about the Yonex Muscle Power 99 is the response that the Racquet gives. I play with a string tension of 26lbs.
I just love the racquet and would love to own at least 10 more to my count.

This Yonex Muscle Power 99 Racket is a beauty for power and placement at the same time. You need to be of a high standard to play well with it and you need to change the strings to a higher tension around 25 pounds to get the maximum from this beast. The colour is great and if you can tame this beast, you'll be nearing success. Get this racket, tis a beauty. (read more)

Poor cost for buying, way too expensive for what the Yonex Muscle Power 99 is!
Extremely weak frame as well breaks too easily.
The string tension will not last three quarters of a season

This Yonex Muscle Power 99 is a really good badminton racket if you want value for money. But you will need it to suit you and if you are new to the sport then I would advise you not to get it as this is not a raquet for a begginer - this racket is more for experienced players. (read more)

I beg to differ from the first comment. This racket is available for a lot less than its RRP, and this is when it becomes good value for money.
I have indeed had the frame broken once - largely because of an accident involving another racket wielded by someone else at full speed. I think any racket would have packed up there. This was over three months after buying it, but Yonex replaced the racket for free and I've had no problems since.
Strings: well, I would have thought the string tension (and the time it takes for the strings to become sloggy) depends on the strings and on the frequency (and intensity) of use, rather than the racket as such (i.e. the frame). Get it restrung with a good string and you won't have a problem...

This racket is not value for money the frame is shockingly weak! The string tension is sloppy as well and only lasts for half to three quarters of a season!
