Hmm...I love the design on the head, but dislike the design on the shaft. They should have gone for something symmetrical, otherwise at a glance something looks a bit off putting about it.

Hmm...now that I'm enjoying smashing a lot more, I'm sort of tempted by the VT80 again lol. Kind of fear losing the speed and delicacy of the MX80 though. Hmmm....

Come on Kwun hurry up with that comparison already lol. Want to use it to help me decide whether or not to pull the trigger on a 4U VT80 or not lol.

Arcsaber 8dx wt=88.8g, bp=289mm

VT80 4U wt=83.2g, bp=306mm
VT80 4U (2) wt=84.6g, bp=308mm
MX80 3U wt=87.3g, bp=288mm
MX80 4U wt=85.6g, bp=295mm

Once I have them all strung I will provide those as well.

Druss, could you please let me know how each of your VT80's perform? I have a choice of 3, and am unsure of whether to go for the heaviest 4U or the lightest. Will be playing mainly doubles. On a percentage scale, how much power/control would you say the heaviest VT80 gives you compared to the lightest, and how much speed is gained?

Thanks!
