Hi guys, somewhat new to the forum. SIgned up a while back and took a few years break due to injury.

Did a search and couldn't find an answer. Is Medium Flex between Stiff and Extra Stiff?

not it isn't. from least to most flex is - extra flexible, flexible, medium, stiff, extra stiff.

he has it right. Most Flex means what can flex the most.

he has it right. Most Flex means what can flex the most.

If you look at his sequencing carefully, it implies:
least (flex) = extra flexible, and most (flex) = extra stiff

Should be the other way round

aha! you are right. I feel ashamed lol, should read things more carefully. Maybe that's why my english mark isn't high :)

Thanks guys.

So going from a MP99 to a NS7700 might be extreme?

that would be going to a more flexible racket. Did you find the MP99 too stiff?

phandrew, yes, I do feel it to be a bit stiff. I play a lot of golf I it's like playing with a stiff shaft where you can swing really hard and it goes nowhere.

going from MP99 to ns7700 should be fine

What's your swing speed like? If you're going to swing with the same speed, you'll regret it. You won't be able to get any snap and your timing will be waaaay off. Try a demo first to see if it works for you.

Oh, and why the drastic change?

the change in stiffness will most likely hurt your wrist. You should try to gradually build up the flexibility so a medium stiffness should be fine

I wonder how "Dynamic" flexibility of Victor rackets fits into the flexibility range? When I was looking at Victor rackets they seemed to be either stiff or dynamic. My guess is dynamic = flexible, but it would be nice to know if anyone knows for sure having played with them...
