I thought N90 is the stiffest and heaviest racket in the market now ?

You are funny. The MX80 is available as 3U and 4U version.

True. E.g. every 2U racket.

U may be right , some rackets may be heavier , but in term of stiffest and ability to string to tension 30.

Those rackets above 90g is not as good as N90 and also superwave 35.

this going to be OOT

The stiffest racket that ever made is Mizuno tetracross 700 1st gen, YY Armortec 700 limited, Victor BS10 & SW35, YY NS9000X & 9900.......all of them is stiffest than N90 either 1st or 2nd edition

About the MX80, bengguan call me yesterday about the weight, he also surprised with the fact

let's wait him for further explanation from where he get that stuff

Especially when MX is only on 3U and 4U weight hehehehehehe

i think u are talking nonsense here, i believe those players who play regularly week in and out will agree with me that N90 is the stiffest racket a professional player ever use.

**ryim_** · 01-30-2011, 08:02 AM

There could always be manufacturing deviations

let say, you believe what u want to believe but i believe for what i have been use and try...i'm not just read the review and think like people want me to think. And yes i'm not a pro but i play regularly every week

N90 is stiff but not the stiffest i believe NS9000X still the most stiffest from that list and u can ask as many as u want to ask for my opinion

....like i said this going Out Of Topic, let keep this thread straight to MX80 okay bro

I don't think I play as often as you but I have owned quite a few racquets and I DON"T AGREE with you that the N90 is the stiffest racquet.

Please also refrain from saying that people are spouting nonsense unless it is really nonsense and or unsubstantiated like saying that a racquet is good because professional player use it etc etc.

I definitely believe Issarakaya since he has probably owned and played with all those racquets he mentioned before which btw, I do have most of those he mentioned as well and can attest to what he say.

Yup i concur that NS9000X would be the stiffest while TC700 would be close.
N90 be it first or second gen is actually not that stiff. But it could all be due to head weight that helps a racket to flex.

**Ferrerkiko** · 01-30-2011, 08:33 AM

Bros here , think about it , Nanospeed 9000x is still around before Lin Dan switch to Li Ning . The reason why he still stick to armotec 700 is because none of the Yonex racket is as stiff as armotec 700, and also current N90.

**isben** · 01-30-2011, 08:41 AM

Anyway to each his own beliefs. But really hope that there will be a review on the metor soon.
The best is if a comparison to BS10 for swing speed.

**Ferrerkiko** · 01-30-2011, 08:49 AM

ISben , u re right.

I believe want to compare stiffest , or weight , and even tension is right to compare victor high range VS Li ning N series racket.

I never believe Yonex are good racket cause they put their racket can't string above 26 tension.

I myself has tried on brave sword 9 , N90 , N50 and currently on superwave 35 all can sting up to 28.

To the credit of Chris, he help me string superwave 35 to 29 tension . At the back on the baseline smashes is really power.

dont make yourself looks funny bro, LD use at700 old colour which is more flex than the at700 new colour....

i wish this could end this useless conversation about stiffness as u can see even in the Yonex catalog at700 is flexier than carbonex 30MS or at900t or at900p etc
YY is market leader, the reason YY put low tension for warranty if for their own reason, u can ask some member here who used to string their YY up to 32 lbs and if you think high tension is good then you should look for Apacs or Hart (below 250 US$) in Indonesia, they guarantee it but do u think those brands better than YY? YY, Victor and Lining are 3 of superior brand nowadays in badminton and if one of them fail to make a good quality equipment they already fallen deep before this years come

respect others opinion and keep this case closed okay

Just have conversation with my friend and after my MX80 came to me i'll check the spec especially the weight hehehehe...little bit curious about this

**Ferrerkiko** · 01-30-2011, 08:55 AM

Then i ask u this question , new generations of rackets is out , why Lin dan still stick to armotec 700 1st gen , when he is still with Yonex . What I heard from my coach is Lin dan feels that all other yonex rackets is not as stiff as his armotec 700.

**isben** · 01-30-2011, 09:00 AM

Bro do compare ur MX80 to any other rackets that you have.
Currently I'm using N90II and TC700 which are both great but looking for a fast swinging racket similar to BS10 but slighty stiffer or more head heavy

like i said you believe what people said but i dont

at700 is one of legendary racket that YY ever made beside carb 20 and ti-10 nobody can argue about this but that not make at700 superior in stiffness and everything

Do you know Lin Dan using SOTX Woven 16 in his practice at his badminton club? ask your coach about this since SOTX is sponsored Lin Dan badminton club

i will....so far only NS9000/9900 swing can compared to BS10 and dont forget BS11 hehehe...me also looking for some criteria like you and i do feel this mx80 could be better in power and hopefully can swing equally or faster than BS10
