He was using SW37 previously. Would he change to SW36 as red strip was seen on his racket now

No BS15, no SW36. Must really be a new model...

The Victor representative here refers to it as "MX 90" so I guess it will be the name.

Also, going by what he told me, the racket will have some red and gray/charcoal colors. I haven't seen it, so I can't describe it :P

Or maybe he just straight up lied to me :P What I had in mind when he described it was a kind of mix between the AT700, MX80 and BS11.

We'll have to wait patiently until it goes out!

during watching at ko sung hyun match in thomas cup, i dont see he is consistent making a powerful smash with that new racket compare with his sw37. he smash even worst bcos most of the shuttle flew flat.

took out my old ARC10 for a spin last night.

after using Victor and Kason almost exclusively in the past year, Yonex racket all feels like a mush. there is no crispness like the SW35, MX80.

back to Victor.

This is the thing I love about this forum: No one ever over-generalizes.

Assuming the same string and tension on all the rackets?

yes. ZM62N@25lbs is my standard string/tension nowadays.

**SolsticeOfLight** · 06-06-2012, 02:15 PM

Not that I've tried MANY yonex rackets, but the ones I have tried have felt dead. Personally, I don't understand why people seem to like them so much. That said, it's obviously just a preference

back to Victor.

This is my general opinion of Yonex rackets as well

. I have had the opinion since I was a beginner, no-one would believe me then though for some reason. The only exception is for the Arcsaber 8DX which is nice and crisp and feels immediate. The rest seem to have a bit of lag to them no matter what string tension is used. Then again my friend likes this but he does have a smash that can remove the surface off the gym floor (not literally) whereas I rely on a bit more finesse.

I really need to get a Victor racket. Thinking of a bravesword soonish or maybe the meteor. Just need to decide on a model now...

Your arm must be made of steel. I can barely tolerate the ZM62s vibration on a relatively 'numb' racket, and the MX80 is also quite hard on my body....can't even imagine the combination of the two

Even though 25lbs is noticeably lower than my usual tension, somehow I doubt that'll make much of a difference :S

**blableblibloblu** · 06-07-2012, 05:21 PM

got my mx80 last week and still havent had the chance to use it! hard to see it sitting in my room, looking so good but not having time to play with it yet.

If you like the 8dx, you'll love the mx80.
