New Victor Racquet - The Meteor X80 ( MX80 )

[kwun]

i lost my MX80 this past weekend. went to practice in the morning and was in a rush to pick up someone so i ran out forgetting that i left the racket on the court.

i was sad but luckily someone picked it up and returned it to lost and found and i was re-united with it.

it is more precious when something has been lost and then later found.

I have no problems with my 3U MX80. And I never worked out in my life. Not even shoulder pains. So you shouldn't be edged about 3U or 4U.

Kwun, glad you found back your mx80! Should thank the ones who found it haha!Chewy, it's time for you to lvl up and get a 3u lol! Move up your play if you are serious about it =P

[adrian88]

anyone have reviews on their mx80 .. i think i should write a review for this racket since it has a great feel to it ... but need to have more games with it (so far only got to use it for 5 hours ... need more time to get used to it, tiring)

[Chewy369]

Haha! So you ended up getting the MX80! Nice! Do tell a review please Still another month or so before I get mine

[adrian88]

yeah, will do by next week (cross finger) and i thought where have you been chewy lol! but before you read the review, i think you made the right choice welcome to mx80 family haha

[Chewy369]

Thanks! Def post some pics if you can too. All this talk is making me restless. Me want my MX80!

Wow, nice. Great choice for the first Victor racket in their catalog!

[adrian88]

I hope more ppl will join the dark side ~~

the frame ... *first impression*

Victor ... Victory~~
Nanotec ... can with-stand 20kg impact (anyone tried?)








colour scheme is the same as my model, maybe thats why i bought the mx 80 over the other 2 lol jkjk~~

May the DARK force be with you ~??

[Chewy369]

Looks amazing! Love the combination of gold/black/white/red colors on the frame! One thing though, is that the original grip that came with the MX80? Or did you apply your own grip?

[adrian88]

Chewy, its a free grip (thin and can feel the impact everytime i smash, ouch!) on top of the original grip ... the original grip doesnt feel right, kinda small ... i like a thick grip for more stability and control

[Chewy369]

I see, no wonder it didn't seem like Victor's original grip, just wasn't sure if it was different cause MX80 is a beast How good is that grip for people with sweaty hands? I think I definitely won't be using the original grip, and I do end up with sweaty hands when I'm playing.

On another note, the bag in the background, is that the bag that came with it? If so, can you take some pics as well?

[adrian88]

with this stiff racket... i think you should get a thick grip to absorb the impact or you would strain your arm or wrist if you accidentally use the wrong technique

thats just a normal 2 compartment bag (can put until 4 rackets) nothing special >.< compare to others using 6-10 compartment bag lol! if post here kinda out of topic~~~

Still deeply in love with mine (without being creepy and scary). Paint chipping is far less than my Arc009DX used to be. I've already had one or two hefty collisions and only a small chip on the top of the frame.

I can definitely feel the difference in my arms now that I play 5 days a week but my muscles can take the hits. Last week I played at a tournament and my only complaint was my elbow but that had more to do with my bad backhand technique instead of the racket i suppose.

@ adrian

I see, did you have the bag from before or did it come with the MX80? I hear my MX80 came with a racket bag with space for 3-4 rackets, prob won't use it much compared to my BR-212F bag though.

Hm, currently I'm using a thick grip on my MX70, and I must say, I prefer a thinner grip like on my VT70. Although I will experiment and see which one is better

[Cillu]

Wrapped a new grip and strung my mx80 with some zm67s yesterday. Took it for a quick hit today and bam, clashed with my friend and it died instantly. Bought it around 2 months ago and it didn't even have any chips yet! So sad...
