New Victor Racquet - The Meteor X80 ( MX80 )

[jump-smash]

yeah that's right !!! he use Meteor X 80
but I think he should stick with SW35
maybe he lose at the final because he's not used to his new rackets ???

I just tested the racket two days ago and I must say it's a pretty good racket. Very responsive and delivered high input/output.

@bluejeff
Do you have some more details? What about a minireview? What balance, what stiffness, weight? Thank you.

[bluejeff]

I borrowed the racket at the Victor BWF-SSF event and tested there. They have a mini-court there and each person can play with rackets for like 5 mins. There were 6 different rackets hanging on the wall and you get to pick what you want to use. I picked the meteor 80 and liked the feelings of it. I asked the people who work there what this is and they told me this thing is not for sale yet. I think many people played with that racket but not very many people know it's a new racket that is not yet on the market.

sorry, I didn't take any pics on the racket because I went crazy when I saw the giant shuttles at the next booth :P

Can't wait to try it.

bluejeff,
Is it more towards singles play or doubles play?? Is it kinda head heavy or head light???

[tyshk]

jung jae sung play this racket in victor bwf superseries finals 2010

Lee Yong Dae as well

[Maklike Tier]

Surprised that previously, both of them were playing with very different rackets (BS09/SW35), and now they're both playing with the same racket?? Either Victor has put a lot of pressure on them to get behind the MX80, or it's that good

Regardless, Victor is going to be HUGE this year

But in the finals, didn't LYD go with the BS09? At least that's what I thought I saw from several photos.

I think if just Jung Jae Sung using X80, the sales might be average
but if LEE YONG DAE as well, then X80 will be phenomenal!!!

I would think so too but as far as I'm concerned, it'll take quite a racket to take the SW35 (or the BS09) out of my hands...

[jump-smash]

I can sense this racket is going to be GREAT !

[tyshk]

I recon that LYD only use the X80 in Semi-finals, he used back his BS when he is in final

[Yoppy]

At glance it looks similar to AT900T, white red and black colour scheme
