    Hi everyone!

    Im quite interested in the MX80 and I hope i can have some advice from you guys.
    Im currently using Yonex Arc Z Slash for both single and double and I love this racquet!
    I love the balance and the swing speed of ArcZ. However, the sweet spot area of ArcZ is relatively smaller than other racquets. I hope i can find a similar but larger sweet spot racquet to replace it.

    I also used to use MP100 and nanospeed9000X before ArcZ, and I love these racquets too.

    Do you guys think MX80 will be a good replacement for ArcZ? Do you guys have any other Victor/Yonex suggestions?

    Thanks very much!

    If you like the speed but want a larger sweet spot look at the BS10 from Victor, can't comment on the MX80 yet, still waiting on mine.

    Umm I can't say anything about it too. But I've heard a lot of people says that it's a nice racket and I'm also looking forward to the MX80

    hi,
    i tried the mx80, the handling is good, not so demanding and swing speed on par with bs10, smashing power is good. if i were you, i will take the mx80.

    Dare I say, with regards to plain smashing only, the Z-Slash is it. I doubt the MX80 nor the VT80 is gonna overtake it in anyway (specially because it is head heavy? uh-uh, no siree!) ...admittedly I haven't tried it but I can say no other racquet is as aerodynamically designed for the smackdown, alone! The Z-Slash is/was created with one thing in mind only--absolute smashing power! Therefore, and in order to do that, the energy transfer must be concentrated and transferred from that teeny-weeny sweet-spot! Period. In other words, PRECISION!

    ...that's why some areas or aspects of one's game will suffer in relative terms due to the UPSIDE of that teeny-weeny sweet spot.
