    I note your point :)

    But I don't think the chart's horizontal axis merely explains the stiffness of a racket.

    Victor officially describes it as considerations of (i) frame type, (ii) material, (iii) stiffness, and (iv) technology, which applies the touch of hitting. (quoted from Page 17 of 2013 Victor Asia Catalog)

    It's getting late here, let's continue our discussion tomorrow. :D

    I recently picked up the MX90 3UG5. It's 4/4 on 5 dot scale String Rec. H </= 30# V </= 28#. I have yet to hit with it, let alone string it up..but it feels a touch lighter than the JJS does. But here is a few photos. PA305557.jpg PA305558.jpg

    taken from Eric's MX90 page on Ebay:
    currently in stock: (real checked)

    87g 87g 87g 87g BP: 292-295mm

    (all marked with 4UG5)

    Isn't 4U 82.5 +/- 2.5? Or is Victor's weight system different compared to Yonex?

    Those are measured with the double plastic wrap. And his scale is rounding up so it's probably 84g dry!

    Hopefully my sprained toe will soon heal up so I can get back on court and compare the MX90 to the JJS.

    My rackets have these specs, so a comparison should be pretty easy:
    MX 90: 4UG5. 292mm / 86g (with plastic) measured by Eric.
    MX JJS: 4UG5. 290mm / 86g (with plastic)
