New Victor Racquet - The Meteor X80 ( MX80 )

**madbad** · 08-05-2011, 12:38 AM

Experienced another phenomenon with the racket today. Really good and really bad all in a 3 hour session.

All the power stuff was good–drives, smashes, clears, backhands

All the touch stuff went to pot–drops, net shots, deceptions, forehand lifts (weird thing was backhand lifts were perfect)

Conclusion: it's the player, not the racket... SIGH!

Probably the only statement I completely agree with in this entire thread hehe.

just strung my MX80 with nbg98@29.5lbs.

holy smokes.

the repulsion and sound coming out of this combo is unreal. it is so loud it scares away my opponents.

seriously, it is very good for fast attack.

but touch shots is really bad. no bounce at all so it actually takes more pronounced strokes to do push and drops. which take a bit of getting use to. but i think i can get used to it.

Why don't you just play with a cricket bat

You still want use of your shoulder and elbow?

That PeteLSD guy must have succeeded in brainwashing you

How about comparing to Voltric in this specific department alone? Thnx.

Oooh

Can anybody get in on this combined shipping?
From which online store are you guys planning on buying from?
Just rackets or other stuff too?

You'll have to ask Visor but I think it's Eric at Squashmart. A very reputable dealer

No problem. Sent Visor a pm. Keeping fingers crossed.

Agree Eric is the best, ask him for a price always good, ships very fast and is professional. Had a shipment in 5 days to Canada a few times.

Today, the MX-80 yoyo was up... very up... until I broke the strings. Somehow it felt faster today; maybe my arm was less tired. Power was only OK but that was possibly due to loss of tension. Generally felt pretty good. Until the next episode...
