    I used 8080+ for about 6 months of period. If you like a light racket, this could be a good purchase. The racket is well balanced, within 3u/4u range, and i will rate the stiffness to be mid-flex to mid stiff.

    The racket is fast in swing, which is good in defense. The control is very good, and the power is decent (used Winex Ti80 back then). I will say it's not anywhere worse than any Yonex mid range racket.

    Ya,i thought of going for SOTX Winner Kinsmen STB-8080+ but SOTX Titanium 16a design is nicer.:p As for SOTX Power Boss (WOVEN) series,i am not so sure because people in Singapore always go for (WOVEN) series.BUT NO YONEX RECOMMENDATIONS PLEASE,IT IS JUST EXPENSIVE
