Hi guys , can you give me some opinions about mx 80
heres my problems, im trying to do cross smash with huge power but i always miss hit the shuttle and the shuttle always hit my shaft, but if i do straight smash , it is awesome
I also do some check , see that shon wan ho , chung jae sung mostly do straight smash
do you have that kind of experience?

No. Never made this experience of mishitting when I do cross smashs. Try to work on your technique and the stroke of a cross smash. It's not the racket. It's you. My straight and cross smashs are the same in terms of power.

I understand about that , but when im trying to change with other rackets i was able to do that without missing any chances, just wondering why ?
how i describe it , hmmmm its not exactly cross smash , its slicing cross smash

In the last few months I hardly used the mx80... it gives me severe arm and shoulder pain. I much prefer the mx70 and look forward for mx60 to come to the UK.

mx60 stii havent come to UK?

Buy BS LYD instead, I have MX80, 60. I think BS LYD is the best racket so far

Hey guys ive been playing with my 80 for a few months now and I decided id crash here after I tried to change to JJS. I bought 2 jjs on MBS but ya know...I was surprised to see that it wasnt comparable. Soo I am back to my first love.

**Shinichi** · 10-09-2012, 11:05 PM

Im using the MX70 London. cant handle the MX80

**Ferrerkiko** · 10-10-2012, 12:51 AM

Cool. seems like a lot of people saying MX 80 very stiff.

Comparing to N90, which one stiffer ...?

Badminton fans , pls advise ?

**ah tat** · 10-10-2012, 02:29 AM

mx 80 is stiffer.
compared it with my fren's n90.

Why do you favour BS LYD to mx60? Meteors have great head stability. From what I read on other threads I depicted BS LYD divides opinions... some say is not as powerful as the meteors.

This is the trouble of recommending rackets - one persons ideal isn't necessarily the same as the next. I have the MX80, 70, London, 60 as well as BS LYD, 9, 10, 11 & 12.

The MX60 is my go to as without doubt it is the best suited to me - I prefer medium flex with weight in the head! Having said that I do like the LYD, just not as much!

just want to ask, does anyone mx80 the grip is not stick with the holder? it can move freely, because this caused my overgrip on it and moved together..so now solve with using masking tape on the original grip then put another overgrip on it

Yeah, mine had this problem too. Had to fix it by putting some double sided tape under the factory grip. Somehow Victor didn't use enough glue.
