Ti-3L Titanium Mesh: the long-shaft titanium racquet Yonex Japan sold to 2009
The long-shaft Ti
The Ti 3 Titanium Mesh, item code TI-3L, appeared on Yonex Japan’s racket index between 2 September and 4 October 2005, and its product page carried a NEW tag from late October 2005. Yonex priced it at ¥15,000 before tax (¥15,750 with tax), the most of the Ti 1, Ti 2 and Ti 3. What set it apart was the shaft: Yonex says the long shaft bends a lot, so clears fly easily to the end line, while the titanium mesh on the frame side adds face stability and control.
Frame and shaft
Yonex lists an all-carbon frame with titanium mesh, plus an all-carbon shaft with a built-in T-joint. The size is 3U with grips 5 and 6, the recommended tension 15–20 lb, and the strings Yonex suggests are BG65TI for hard hitters and BG88TI for control players. Its pages print “Made in Japan”. Yonex prints no balance point and no flex grade; its wording is only that the shaft bends a lot. Neither the racquet’s length nor what the L in TI-3L stands for is given on the pages.
No named player
Yonex Japan’s product and old-model pages name no player for the Ti 3. The Ti 10 and Ti 6 carried the player associations of this line, and the Ti 3 is described only by its shaft and mesh.
Two designs
The original design came in blue (002), orange (005) and rouge pink (124), and Yonex Japan files it under 2007 production ends. A second design, black/blue and black/pink, is filed under 2009; its old-model entry reads “carbon frame” where earlier pages read “all-carbon frame”. Because a later design outlasts the first, 2009 is the end of the model.
Listed to 2009
The Ti 3 is a Japan-market racquet. Yonex Japan’s June 2006 titanium list was the Ti 7, Ti 3 and Ti 1; the Ti 7 ended in 2007, the Ti 1 in 2008 and the Ti 3 in 2009, so it outlasted the other numbered Ti racquets in Yonex Japan’s old-model groups. The Ti Zero was filed under the 2009 and 2010 groups. No verified sales are recorded yet.
Not the export Ti-3
Yonex’s 2000 export catalog also lists a Ti-3, a 2U medium-stiff racquet, which is a different model (see the Ti-5 page). The Japan Ti 3 is 3U and its item code ends in L. No counterfeit of the Ti 3 is documented, so the realistic mistakes are the export Ti-3, the Ti 7, and the Ti 2 or Ti 1.
A late addition
The Ti 3 arrived in 2005 and ended in 2009 with Yonex’s black designs. Its distinguishing claims are the long shaft and the highest list price of the three entry-end Ti racquets. Yonex gives no balance or flex grade for it.
Yonex Japan lists item code TI-3L; all-carbon frame with titanium mesh and all-carbon shaft with built-in T-joint; 3U with grips 5 and 6; recommended tension 15–20 lb; Made in Japan. Colors: blue 002, orange 005, rouge pink 124; the later design is black/blue and black/pink. The export Ti-3 of Yonex’s 2000 catalog is 2U, so a 2U Ti-3 is not this racquet. Rose pink 123 and ice blue 308 belong to the Ti 2. No counterfeit of the Ti 3 is documented.
Check the item code TI-3L, the grip (5 or 6) and the color against Yonex’s lists, and make sure the racquet is the Japan 3U model and not the 2000 export Ti-3. The long shaft is a documented design feature, but Yonex gives no flex grade, so condition matters: look at the shaft and the titanium mesh at the frame side for cracks or paint damage.
