Photos of the new Victor Meteor X 2012 London edition racquet and NS-880 string from a confidential source
Wonder how many will be allocated for worldwide collection (rather than actual usage)? That is so cool!
Yes they can. Looks like it's harder feel (perhaps like bg80?), hopefully it would have better tension retention.
Nah, I like that black hardcase bag more! A bit ostentatious and not very useful, but I can imagine opening it by the courtside and it's like whipping out an assault weapon out of the bag! Of course, going thru airport security with that bag is gonna be interesting...
I like how it shows a lot of carbon. More interested in the string though, I hope it's gonna retain tension better/longer than the VS850. That way it could become my third option beside ZM67 and BG80...
Why, why, why..... do you do this to me? :crying: Bag will be purchased, if the quality is decent... and racket-wise I could wait for London-Edition... but I don't want to. This is seriously one expensive year for me... ^^
OH nice looking racket. the 9 o'clock has "2012 London", it would be better if the 3 o'clock has "X" decoration.
Do you know, when it will released in Germany? I want it so badly.... Anyway, Yonex special editions were somehow only available in one weight (3U). Will be Victor only available in one weight option as well?
Especially if they've addressed the apalling tension loss of VS850. What does it say behind the frame? ZXION NANO-TITANIUM? Blimey - they've got a four-year-old in their R&D department for naming stuff.
I think it's ZYLON. Whatever that means. ..... BTW, do you prestretch vs850 manually or by machine setting to reduce tension loss?
MX80 is better looking. i am not too convinced with this white/blackwoven with red/blue accent. the generous amount of expose woven cf looks beautiful though. drool.
so it comes with a case. the bottom part have string / grip / bottle / soft case. i cannot figure out what the top two pieces are. certificate of some sort? who will buy this racket and actually use it? if i were to have one i will have it framed and keep a box of napkin next to it so i can wipe off my drool every time i walk by.
