I want to know the maneuverbility, stiffness and power of 001 compare to the w11 or w7.
thanks in advance

I've tried as well as DM-Woven-002 and DM-Woven-007.
And Woven-7 still the best at for me.
DM-Woven series and all SOTX racket are still using old grommet system.
So far only DM-Woven 11 is very close to Woven-11.
You may try to contact SOTX agent near your place and try to swing it ....

Just got my SK-P01 in the mail today from puppysports.com, great service from them by the way. Looks great (I've always loved white rackets), and says "FALCHION" on the shaft, which is apparently a European one-handed broad-sword, you learn something new everyday I suppose.

Overall quite pleased for the price. Mine came at 86g, 285 balance point, 670cm long, strung with BG-80 at 25lbs (I asked for 27lbs but the max tension on this racket is 25lbs so puppysports said they'd string it at that tension instead). Anyway, these specs make it very similar to my Woven 8 and Woven 12A both strung with BG-80 at 26lbs.

It played better than I expected, it being a lower-end model, comparable to both those other rackets. Clears were easy, drops accurate, and smashes moderately powerful. However, it was noticeably less stable than my wovens, not-unexpected. But might look into higher end SK models when they become available here.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know why SOTX changed their symbol from the circle thing to this diamond 'S' thing? Copyright problem?

I just browsed through their 4 pages of Sotx rackets but SK-P01 is not there, how you managed to get racket that is not listed on their web ?

It was weird actually because I didn't see it either. I had ordered the STB 8080+ for $57, and they emailed me saying that racket is not in stock and if i was interested in purchasing another racket and they would give it to me for the same price. They offered me one from: STB-6280, STB-6086C, STB-6060+, Ti-8A, LG800+, LG600, LG500, LG300, LG200, SW200, SK-P01, Woven-4A, most of these not being on their website, most noticeably almost the entire LG series. I ended up choosing the SK-P01. I'm not even sure how much that racket costs retail.

They must not update their site very regularly, I wouldn't doubt if a lot of the rackets posted are out of stock or not available, most of them are rather old. I would email first before ordering.

they changed it because the new one is more popular apparently

it just looks a more modern design basically

Oh for sure! I definitely like this one better...SOTX Canada tells me they change every year, and I'm hoping they stick to this one. It's one that can be as iconic as the Yonex logo xD!...
