You seem to have a thing going with Victor. How are you getting hold of all of these racquets?

got my MX60,strung it with bg66ultimax at 25lbs,...new shop,and i just found out her normal 23lbs is equal to 26lbs at digital string machine >.< ... my MX60 is 3U ,last time my SW37 is 3U also, but this mx60 feel lite , i dont comfortable with it =( ... maybe coz i apply karakal pu grip on top of original grip?

[zero_hour]

Hi man.. Pls try out the mx60 3u and I'm quite sure you will experience the performance that surprise you. Make sure it's a 3u because mx60 doesn't feel heavy on your hand. Find the one which is around 85g to 87g dry. My previous sw37 3u just couldn't perform in terms of power (small sweet spot), accuracy and many more

u were rite!!! i though i buy the wrong racket, but after check at the website it said 3U is the heaviest +_+ ,..but still feel lite =_=

SW37 isn't available in Europe. I tested Meteor 60 this morning and have to say it's a brilliant racquet. Despite my liking for stiff racquets I actually preferred 60 to 70 which I also tested. It seemed to handle better, generate more power and overall excelled in every area. I think I just found another 5 star Victor racquet!Paulwww.badminton-coach.co.uk

See, it's not just me that thinks the 60 is better than the 70!

[paulstewart64]

Yes Maklike - I have to agree with you.

But what about the MX80?

[paulstewart64]

That's interesting!
Is the MX60 more head heavy than the MX80?
Also how would you compare it to the BS series?

[Maklike Tier]

No, the only difference between the MXs is the shaft stiffness. All of the 5 I've had/have have a net BP with RKEP Ultimate replacement grip of about 300mm.

There's plenty of comparos between the MX and the BS series on these forums, but suffice to say they have 90% of the SW power and 90% of the BS speed, but with much greater head stability than the BS.

The reason the MX60 is so nice, is that it has the same torsional stability of the 80 and 70, but it has better damping and a less clanging, metallic feel to it.

Sorry, double post.

I see.
I'm having a lot of trouble picking a new weapon.
MX60 is on my radar, but so are the two new Braveswords. (15 + LYD.)

I have the MX80, and i like it, but it may be a tad stiff.
On the other hand, i use the BS12 too and i can get surprisingly good power out of it, but i'd like something more head heavy. LYD sounds like a good choice since it's fast and slightly head heavy. BS15, i'm worried about the head shape, since the Z Slash is worthless to me.. :P
MX60 sounds like a good option, and it's sexy too.

Then there's the N80 that doesn't really have any proper reviews. (Also the headshape = Z slash?)

Aaarghhhh

[badmintanfreak]

to all mx60 users its a weopons of mass destruction. the best part cause of the mid flex stiffness go for high tension and string won't be broken.

[niemrieng]

@ambushes: we are on the same shoes. I'm torn between BS LYD and MX60. Fortunately, my trusty BS11 still serves me really well

[kvn4000]

I have abandoned my bs11 already.. ☺
