    hi guys, I was wondering if you could give me some different racquets that i might like, because the stiffness/ balance rating system seems to be off from the racquets themselves. I'm looking for a:

    3U racquet
    Victor preferably
    medium flex, leaning towards slightly stiffer
    slightly head heavy

    I enjoy practicing all shots so i need something that can do it all.. but my best attribute is definitely my power. ( i smash a lot :D ) i'm an high intermediate/tournament player

    thanks in advance

    SW30 and BS15 are new releases.

    I own MX80 and SW35 as personally I prefer Extra Stiff rackets, from what I know, the 36 and 70 are similar to the 35 and 80, but less stiff. I have tried BS11 and it's quick and agile, packs a decent punch as well, but not to the levels of SW35.

    i tried the mx80 recently, and it felt nice. I like generating power from awkward angles, so i thought something with a little more flex would help

    MX60 is less stiff than MX70, so if you don't think there is enough difference stiffness wise between 80 and 70, then you can try 60.

    what about racquets that are more even balanced?

    even balance victors? my favourites are BS10 for stiff or SW37 for medium :D

    BS10: more zing
    SW37: more "pow" and forgiving (287mm balance point) :p

    SW37: Less stiff than MX80 but stiffer than flex. Little more head heavy than MX80.
