Is Cheng Wen Hsing using a MX60?

So, MX70 and 80 are not as highly rated as MX60 - but that my friends is a personal opinion at the end of the day.

Maklike - thanks for the vote of confidence. I thought I made myself clear - I'll blame it on my back injury!

Paul, another good review from you! Reviews are helpful for us who do not have the luxury to test out badminton racket we interested. I have a question. You have reviewed VT5 and VT7. May I know how different is MX60 compared to VT5? Both are slightly head heavy, 3U and flex shaft. I am currently using VT9 and find it is a little "too" head heavy and stiff for me. Thinking of changing to VT5 or MX60.

**paulstewart64** · 04-18-2012, 09:53 AM

Thanks for your question. Without having a VT5 to directly compare it's a tough question to answer. What I will say is that I think you will get a far better racquet from MX60, but there again you will also pay more for it.

From memory I didn't feel MX60 was that head heavy but had enough for you to know it's there.

Sorry I can't be more specific but I cannot get the racquets for a direct comparison.

Thank you for your quick reply, Paul. It will be a dream if major badminton racket makers can organize test playing like the test driving by car makers.

Another 2 hour session with the MX60, and the rest of my rackets gathering dust in my bag.

**larryho** · 04-19-2012, 08:22 AM

Hahaha...thanks to all of you guys giving reviews on this racket, it made me decide to go for it. So my 1st post must honor it back over here...the MX60 proud owners...hehe.

Just ordered the MX60 from Chris, need to wait for a week before I can "taste" how good it is

How is your C7? So u play MX60 more often than C7? Why?

Since u own both, may I ask how MX60 compliment with C7 or vice versa in term of their different characteristics? Can they be a good companion to each other?

Cheers!

**soulsync** · 04-19-2012, 09:44 PM

Just done 2 sessions with MX60 and the conclusion was .... a SUPERB racket !!!
Is fast and powerful at the same time, controls on shuttle placement and net shot is good too
Smash returns and drive exchange is better than i've expected in my second run

Gonna try BS LYD next and settle with one tat suits my play

The C7 is just too unstable for me now. There was a period when it was awesome, but after you come off something like the Meteors, you realise how flexy it is, and it just doesnt have the stable and sharp handling I wish it had.

It's definitely a nice racket - the feel and damping is awesome - but the way it flexes and then unloads has become a bit annoying. Good power as a result when everything somes together, but it's not really suiting my game at the moment.

I see. So it is due to the different stiffness that causing them flex differently. Will Kason F9 will be a good companion of MX60 since both are flexi?

Can share with us the kind of game you play at the moment?
