    Thought of comparing two completely different rackets: VH1700 vs Lethal 11
    VH1700 -25lbs BG65
    Power: 10/10
    Speed: 9/10
    Control: 9/10
    Stability and solid feel:10/10
    Defend: 10/10
    Lethal 11 -25lbs BG65
    Power:8/10
    Speed:10/10
    Control:7/10
    Stability and solid feel: 6/10
    Defend: 9/10

    Not Defend: It should be Defense.

    thanks for the review

    any chance of comparing nono 9900power vs Lethal 11( or lethal 8) in the same format as your review?

    thanks

    Ziggy, I feel or I can see that VH1700 is as aerodynamic or even more than that of L11. I will post some detail photos and measurements later. It is the light weight of L11 which help to swing the racket faster. Also I noticed that when I swing VH1700 (frame exactly perpendicular), it is smooth and I hardly hear any noise. In contrast, L11 makes a whippy noise. This also shows that L11 is working more against some drag.

    Thanks

    Hiya
    I haven't tried the Bravesword series before, there isn't many stockists in England with Victor racquets so it's really hard to find them. Also I haven't really looked for Victor. Don't know why cos a lot of people seem to like them.

    the maximum tension for the lethal 66 is 30lbs as indicated on the frame.

    Hey guys, I'm looking for a suitable replacement for my AMP95's. What would you guys recommend? I've tried the T200 before. What are your thoughts on the T300, AMP101, L70 and L90?
