    SOTX woven series of racquets are very popular in China, and I think WOVEN-7 is the best. Many of my friends choose it because it's more cheaper than Ti-10 but its performance is very good. I think it's as good as Ti-10.:D
    It can be strung to 31lbs and every one is marked with its accurate wight, balance point.
    :p

    I've heard about WOVEN-7. It seems good. What's WOVEN? Is it a new material?:(

    Woven is a new braid which can make the racquets more durable, comfortable and perfect performance.
    We can see the WOVEN clearly on the frame.:cool:

    Sally,
    Are you affilated with SOTX Sports? Actually would you pronounce it as "SO-TeX" or "SOX" (silent T)?

    I like the Woven 7 and I have been told that it plays similar to Yonex Ti-10 but since I have never played with the Ti-10, I can't tell if that's true or not :D

    SOTX website

    This is a bit off topic, but has anyone tried going to www.sotxsports.com/english/ ?
    My antivirus program is picking up a virus named "JS.Exception.Exploit". Has anyone else got the same problem?

    And if anyone knows people working @ SOTX, could they pass the word along?

    Yep. Other people see that there's a virus too. Someone mentioned they weren't going to visit the page until the virus was cleared up. I wonder what happened or how it came up.

    Sounds like the page is using wrong script or got virus-infected.

    Yeah. It's a big problem for us. We all like SOTX products. Though SOTX is not as famous as Yonex, it owns the best quality. Many of our friends all choose Woven-7 instead of TI-10. And I heard that their STB-9080 is very expensive RMB 2,000 and it's the best in the world. I'm poor so I can't get one.;)

    Are SOTX products only available in China? Are there any North American dealers that carry their products?

    But WOVEN in SOTX RACQUETS is composed of 800D hi-modulus graphite and fiber glass, and is composed by hi-technology and contains no solvent, which greatly increase the balance and playability of the racquets.
    The most important is Woven enables the racquets bear great tension of more than 30lbs. ;)

    800 Denier High Modulus Graphite plus fiber glass and contains no solvent!

    So, how many tons of pressure is required to compress the graphite & fiber glass then? 40 tons? 80 tons?

    Hmmm, the new English page looks much better than old one in that it's a contrasting color to old black and its layout is more organized.

    Sally, how is SOTX's popularity as a racket brand in mainlaind China compared to other Chinese domestic racket manufacturers like Kason and Eagle, etc?
