I think I promised this thread over a year ago I've been using my Woven 8 for about 18 months now, probably longer and so I thought now would be a nice time to post. For me, the racket was extremely stiff when I first got it, pretty much stuck with my D600 'til the string broke. However as my technique improved I did seem to generate some power. Now I'm completely at ease, it's not a beginners racket ( I wasn't a beginner when i purchased it) Due to the stiffness. At 3u I feel it's a nice weight, even balanced also; making it brilliant for doubles play. If you play doubles and can generate a decent amount of power I'd definitley go for this racket, at £65 It's a bargain Power (obviously strings influence this alot.) : 8 Manoeuvrability : 9 Stiffness : 8
