    Oh I understood you. But in general to me all voltrics are inherently unstable due to their head weight placement.

    Yeah. I find that it doesn't make for a very stable frame at all especially on less than perfect shots. I prefer what I feel Victor has done in the 9000 where the weight is still more evenly spread out around the frame.

    If what you say is true ch1k0 about it being stiffer than the k6000 n more like the v80, then that'll suit me just fine as I owned the v80 as well as the k6000. But upon restringing my v80, they found my 2pm position was semi cracked and couldn't string. :(. But on a happier note, my k9000 should be with me within the next 5 days. :)

    Dang... Hopefully not as stiff as MX80... If it's so.. Then it will not be my main racket like what I hope for.. I am currently rotating between the MX90 and the MXJJS ...

    I wouldn't worry about the stiffness being close to the MX 80. I used to use the MX 80 actively. Rest assured it is noticeably a notch less stiffer especially in game thanks to the heavy head

    Can't really describe the difference but one thing for sure smashes for MXJJS is much faster and powerful then the MX90... But that's just me... Whenever i want to play a very aggressive game I will use the MXJJS ... Mx90 allows me to play a more controlled game point to point...

    How physically demanding is this racquet? I'm getting interested and on the edge to buy it, although I play with only yonex racquets I've heard great things about the TK9000 and the aesthetics are stunning too :333

    How tiring does the racquet make you feel during (singles)

    I don't play singles regularly but I did have a game of it at the end of my regular session last Sunday. If anything despite how tired I was I found it easy to use. Not really tiring on the arms yet still got really good power and placement. Hell I was sending clears out of the court from my own baseline

    If I can manage to fool my wife into believing that it's my usual racket... But I think it will be hard because the new rackets from victor are so beautifully designed....

    Own MX-JJS. Find TK-6k to b faster n more powerful than JJS. No doubt for placement shots in control game, JJS might b a better racket.
