VICTOR had just launced their new Spira racket: Spira 22
(you could find all these rackets in our e-Bay store)
which could feel much more close to that of BS11 in the stiff and BP

So is the 22 stiffer than the 21?

no SP21 is stiffer than SP22
SP21 also head-heavier than SP22

Basically SP21 was designed for professional players --- heavy head with stiff shaft (normal player will feel very powerless for this spec)
SP22 was desinged for normal to advancer or for pro players who do not like so stiff.
I think just like BS10 and BS11: BS10 is for professional players only

Hopefully, I will be able to get my hands on the Spira 21 to demo this week.

and of course I will be able to give a comparison to the SW35. Not sure what tension it will be and stuff, but I am curious to see what it will be like, and of course I am wanting to see if it is worth enough to replace the SW35.

(that will be incredibly hard to do)

Also trying to borrow a Spira 22, something quite a bit different to what I am used to (I.e. not as stiff) so that will be interesting as well.

IMHO SPR21 and SPR22 is not built for power
they are for stability and control thus they are for placement shots
if you are looking for SW35 replacement then you should try SW37
I'll be receiving my SW37 by next week and after that I shall post a short review
stay tuned

Bros , what is the balancing point of this Spiral 21 ?

**Squash Eric** · 04-10-2011, 02:38 AM

Balance Point：HH○●○○○HL ---- a little head heavy
Shaft Stiffness：S●○○○○F ---- super stiff shaft

I am not looking for any replacement for my SW35, I am just looking to see how the SP21 will compare to it, and see what strengths the SP21 has over the SW35.

I doubt I will switch to SW37.

what make you doubt SW37 ?
is it because it is even balanced and medium stiff ?
so you think SW35 is more powerful because it is stiffer and head heavier ?
not so fast on your conclusion please
because from what I heard that the new SW37 is as powerful as SW35
and more friendly and forgiving
they (Victor's R&D) do something with it's shaft bending point or kicking point

Yes this is why, I am used to stiff-x-stiff, and between even balanced to head heavy.

so you think SW35 is more powerful because it is stiffer and head heavier ?

Yes, I would presume, SW35 is still more powerful, if the SW37 is as powerful as SW35 then obviously I will have to try it.

and obviouslly it will be more forgiving.

But the SW35 also has a unique kickpoint though, It is different to any other racier I have tried in terms of Shaft bending and kickpoint.

Just got my spira21, will try it out next couple of days ... dont know how it feel if compare to SW35 series...

**fsga1891** · 05-01-2011, 02:36 AM

After 4 hours play with SP21 today, this is the racket that really suit my playing style, racket is stiff but not too heavy head, overall good in control and accuracy, it also can generate a powerful smash as sw35, currently strung with VS650 @25lbs, will try BG66UM @26lbs, because all my other racket strung with 66UM @26lbs, if gave me more stable and control in play. From playing mid-stiff to ex-stiff need to take some time to get use to it.
