This week I clash my racket with an Armotec (armor?). His racket survived while mine looked like this...

A broken MX80 breaks my heart.

Are you planning to replace with the same?

**Papapenguin** · 06-22-2012, 10:20 AM

Undecided. Was looking at BS12 and BS LYD. Both are 3U while my (RIP) MX80 was 4U.

sad to see another one bite the dust.

I have a 3U LYD and it plays very differently from the MX80. But it's a racket that one can easily adapt to. Good luck in your decision.

Wow, that sucks. And I thought the MX80 frame was the strongest out there! Replace it with a 3U MX80!

**Papapenguin** · 06-22-2012, 09:47 PM

Thanks for your all your condolences and advice.

My suggestion is to buy another MX80 which is 3U....

**Cillu** · 06-23-2012, 12:25 AM

Looks exactly the same spot to where I broke mine: http://www.badmintoncentral.com/foru...67#post1899567

I feel for you... Oh and it was a 4u.

Agree. 4U speed with the added oomph for power!

Would mine survived if I happen again?

Anyway got myself a Yonex z-Force Limited edition today and hope to give this racket a chance. Definitely would consider getting back another MX80 to swap between games.

Sorry, OT.

Oh, so you're lurking around this thread now. Someone brought it back from Asia for me. I heard you've been buying up a storm lately.

I am just giving my fair share of supporting a local store.

I guess that is the weakest part of the frame. What was your string tension?
