Midflex Racket

[Nicky_Boy02]

Just something curious. Stiffness is how much the racket can bend. So a higher swing speed will need a stiffer racket. So for the Chinese double pair FHF-CY, why are they using a Midflex racket of their Kason C7 and F9. Will they be better with a stiffer racket?

That is really interesting.
As we can read in the Kason F9 review threat - the F9 is really between midflex and flex.
And Fu have one of the hardest/fastest smash in the world....

I don`t think that his smash would more hard if he change to e.g. the very stiff MX80...

For me (advanced player):
midflex: more smash power and easy clear shots
stiff: more defense/repulsion power and more control

That is the reason why I prefer midflex....

is there any midflex + head heavy racket?

[sayshh]

In Yonex you have the Voltrics, VT 5, VT 7, VT 70. All head-heavy and mid-flex.

[Robin76]

Is the Kason F 9 slightly head heavy? I thought midflex and balancend....

[clawhammers]

midflex and headheavy = MX60 and VT70, AT500

strong arms can handle stiff racket but flexible racket is for people who can't swing the racket fast. does it mean that a person with stronger arm will smash better with a stiffer racket compare to flexible racket?

i disagree with you on this, i have a very skinny arms, but good wrist power, and i'm using a semistiff - stiff racket, still i can generate the power. different people might have different point of view on this. just some thought from me

[Nicky_Boy02]

does it mean, midflex racket is more user friendly while stiff racket is more for good wrist power and stuff?

hmm...midflex/flexible racket are mainly more user-friendly compared to stiff rackets, for the wrist thing, not sure about it
