Just wondering where did you get these info from?

I'm sworn to secrecy

I think this racket could become the choice of quite a few MD players, to join the SW35 and BS10

If it's really a "7.2" (on the SOTX scale) then it'll be one of the stiffest production rackets ever made. Panda U1 came in at 7.0-7.5; not sure about TC700.

Of course, if the 7.2 refers to something else entirely then I bet it'll be a wet noodle like most of the other Victors

Isn't it shaft thickness 7.2mm rather than stiffness? I assume this "Φ" stands for diameter ...

Yeah, the SW35 is a 'wet noodle'

And LYD is a hopeless player with his 'wet noodle' BS09

Obvious now - I looked at it and saw "phi"... D'oh!

The "wet noodle" was merely my observation that the stiffest YY are way stiffer than the stiffest Victors; I added the "most" to account for the SW35 (which I used to own):P. Anybody who tells me the BS08 doesn't play like a bamboo stick with a doorknob on the end... well, let's just say I won't believe them.

**Yoppy** · 12-20-2010, 08:37 PM

BTW, isn't it supose to be Spira22? Ive seen a similar/same pic on the other thread??

**ryim_** · 12-20-2010, 08:39 PM

Sounds good on paper, can't wait to see how it performs against the SW35 :P

Nope, I was browsing for rackets over the weekend and did not see anything new from Victor. We'll all have to wait til 2011

The X80 looks really fantastic I might sell off my YY ArcSaber 10 and get a hand of this gorgeous racket. Is the date of the launch of X80 the same as here in Malaysia? or just only in some part of the world.
