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

thanks for correcting me

just came back from my second session. i can attest it is the stiffest racquet i have played with.

for those looking for the stiffest racquet around, you should give x80 a try. i have to say it will not be suitable for everyone. its probably a tad too stiff for me. but other aspects of the racquet is good for me. Head heavy but not as heavy as at700 or n500I, thus giving sufficient sting to my smashes and it does have very good manouverability to come with it.

for your info, i am comparing it to the racquets i have (at900T, at700, bs10, n50II).

could you please compare it to the AT900T?

Struggling, I don't know wheter to wait for this or buy more SW35's the fact it is even stiffer than SW35 I would like, but is it head heavier ? Or is it just a stiffer SW35 (if it was the case I would buy 3 right away

) but hoping for an in depth review and comparison with SW35 first.

SW35 is head-heavier
SW35 BP = 298 mm, total weight 94 grms
MX80 BP = 294 mm, total weight 93.5 grms

but MX80 is stiffer than SW35
the octa-blade frame of MX80 is thinner than SW35
so it is more aerodynamic
but SW35 frame packs more power I think

but I'll try MX80 tonight and will compare it to my SW35 and BS10 tomorrow

I'm not doubting you in any way but on the Victor website...the MX80 looks to be head heavier than the SW35...which is why I am very interested in the MX80. If its not any heavier and the SW35 packs more of a punch...I should just get another SW35 and forget about the MX80.

even my BS10 is head-heavier than my MX80
my BS10 BP = 296 mm, total weight 95 grms

Just received my X80 today and had a run with it tonight. When they say the racket is stiff, they mean STIFF! The racket sure packs a punch, and comparing it to my SW35 it is definitely more head heavy and stiffer in every way.

I am more than likely going to stick with my SW35 and maybe use the X80 in singles only (:

I think I'll have to go to a store and feel it myself :P
But if the price of the SW35 comes down a bit...then I'll just go for another!

Thanks for the reviews guys!

with regard to the price, its available at this shop in Taichung for NT$4,200 (40% off the retail price of NT$7,000)
http://www.twsport.com.tw/productdes...c7b8e6b4d70901

ps you should get the spiral 22 too

http://www.twsport.com.tw/productdes..._no=159&Sk_no=

If the locals buy online at Yahoo Taiwan Auctions, they will get free string, grip etc

http://tw.page.bid.yahoo.com/tw/auct...65?u=shj5628ms

Based on my past experience, you might pay less than NT$4200 if you buy from the retail shops.
