For those that bought the MX80, did you get a bag similar to those cotton bag but instead it is made of nylon and has 2 zippered compartment in front ?

my MX80 is CN coded because it was bought in China for 1590 RMB
strung with VS850 (0.68 mm) 26/28 lbs
overgrip Yonex Super Grab over original grip
Gross Weight = 93.5 grms
Balance Point = 294 mm
Stiffness = 5/5 = Very Stiff / Extra Stiff
even stiffer than BS10 and SW35

Don't you mean 'Net Weight', or did you buy a 2U?

**ksquared** · 02-22-2011, 04:13 AM

Rmb 1590??? Wow, thats steep. Mine is hk code, selling for hk1280.

And yes, it is very stiff, the stiffest i hv come acrossmso far.

I mean gross weight = racket + string + grip
netto weight = racket only

CMIIW ???

**Maklike Tier** · 02-22-2011, 06:25 AM

It's the other way around.

I think I'm going to have to scrub the MX80 off my 'to buy' list. Stiffer than the SW35!?! Count me out.

My initial impression from bending the shaft is that it is very stiff, seems stiffer than SW35, might be on par with TC700 or even slightly stiffer ! But need to play with it to have a more accurate assessment.
