    I am a arc8dx user and like its direct feeling and balance. I have several pieces of arc8dx (a 2U and several 3U) and find I like the lightest one most. So I am looking for a lighter racket with similar stiffness and balance of 8dx.

    The victor MX90 and MX80 seems have similar properity based on the factory data and they have 4U version. As far as I know, it seems the MX90 to be more flexible than MX80, the balance seems to have big variance in around 290-300mm.

    Essentially, I am looking for a "4U arc8dx", not sure if the MX90 or MX80 could be the racket for me?

    Thanks,
    Yitao

    Once I bought my Meteor, I never picked up my 8dx again.

    Yeah, and now you're abandoning your poor Meteors that have served you so well. ;)

    Only because I've gone for a head heavier racquet and want to buy a second.

    I have a jjs which they recently replaced with the 90. I've got a 4u mx90 and mx80 here and I'd say the 80 is slightly stiffer than the 8dx.

    I have 8DX, MX JJS and MX London. IMO 8DX is still manageable. I find that MX series is way too stiff.
