    I have the Kevlar 11-04.

    I would say its an even balance racquet, with good power and okay control.

    Do you want pics or anything?

    i never heard of any of these. i'm too into yonex rackets to notice other good rackets.

    hum well looking at your list i have tried the forza titanium 2400 and well its a good racquet, lite good flex and balance point cant remember to much, was a while ago but its just hard racquet to come by here well any forza racquets are really. right now i am using a Forza Legend 80 yellow (which i notice is not on your list) and well i love this racquet. its not to expensive at $110 canadian. i kinda prefer this series over most of the kevlars and some of the titaniums just because i find that it is better and out preformes some of them. well good luck with your search to find out all that you need.

    I used to have the Kev -7 but given my swing I couldn't control it and ended up switching to the KEV-3, which is a little more head heavy a marginally less flexible.

    I see an Armortec Case in the last picture (i think :confused:). Which model do you have and how would you say the kevlar 11-04 compares to it.

    Thanks

    Its an AT700 4U. I can compare to MP99 too.

    The Forza is alittle more powerful than the AT, but thats pretty obvious since the Forza is 3U.

    Control is about equal. ( I am not very good at reviewing, so mail me if you have any questions )

    Its a pretty much allround racquet.

    I have the Titanium 10 CF 2003 and doubt there is any major changes cmp with the 2004 model. Just changed paint and (IMO) a less good looking cover (-04).

    I'd compare it to a MP99 maybe a little less stiff, otherwise quite similar in balance, power and control.

    Also have a Titanium 6 CF 2003 which I use to compare to MP66.

    Of course the Forza rackets are not identical to the Yonex, but IMO this are how I'd describe them for someone familiar with MP-series when comparing.

    i recently got a Kevlar 7-04. i dont know what the difference is from a Kevlar 7-05. but i really like this racquet. its light, not 2 stiff, power is excellent and control is also outstanding. even the defult strings are good, whats not 2 like about it.

    I've only ever owned a single Forza racquet; and it was the lower end series Asia Amour 20,000; I too found even on that lower end racquet, the factory strings were surprisingly good, however they did lose tension very quickly in my opinion. No idea if those strings are the same as on your racquet, as I haven't used/had it for quite a long time so have no way to compare.
