View Full Version : Medium Flex...
westbeach 01-24-2008, 01:39 PM 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?
phandrew 01-24-2008, 02:00 PM not it isn't. from least to most flex is - extra flexible, flexible, medium, stiff, extra stiff.
david07 01-24-2008, 02:06 PM phandrew's got it right.
madbad 01-24-2008, 02:57 PM not it isn't. from least to most flex is - extra flexible, flexible, medium, stiff, extra stiff.
Err, you mean from most flexible to least flexible ;)
david07 01-24-2008, 02:59 PM he has it right. Most Flex means what can flex the most.
madbad 01-24-2008, 03:06 PM 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
david07 01-24-2008, 03:09 PM aha! you are right. I feel ashamed lol, should read things more carefully. Maybe that's why my english mark isn't high :)
madbad 01-24-2008, 03:10 PM aha! you are right. I feel ashamed lol, should read things more carefully. Maybe that's why my english mark isn't high :)
Hehehe, back to class then ;):D:D

So going from a MP99 to a NS7700 might be extreme?
phandrew 01-24-2008, 06:17 PM that would be going to a more flexible racket. Did you find the MP99 too stiff?
westbeach 01-24-2008, 09:38 PM 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.
phandrew 01-24-2008, 09:50 PM going from MP99 to ns7700 should be fine
cyclone9 01-24-2008, 11:11 PM i wan chg my high flex into xtra stiff.. will i able to cope?
phandrew 01-24-2008, 11:19 PM i wan chg my high flex into xtra stiff.. will i able to cope?
Do you mean from stiff to extra stiff or flexible to extra stiff?
cyclone9 01-25-2008, 01:38 AM veri flex to extra stiff
madbad 01-25-2008, 01:43 AM veri flex to extra stiff
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?
phandrew 01-25-2008, 01:57 AM 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
kitseb 01-25-2008, 06:44 AM 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...
