    i think so. he does seem to browse through BC here and figure out what the market is interested. that's smart business.

    question to those with an mx80:

    is the woven carbon on the whole frame or just parts of it?

    can't really tell from the pictures

    Anyway, I'm an Industrial Designer, so it's part of my job description. That's my official excuse. :)

    It's clearly not as pronounced as the BS edges. One has to touch it as opposed to just glancing at it.

    who knows what will happen next
    but I doubt it that VY80 is gonna top this
    MX80 is so good to the point that I'm not expecting any racket can beat it
    but we'll see ... maybe next week I'll received it (VT80)
    but until then MX80 is the best

    ok i'll try to answer all the questions regarding the frames of (in the picture from left to right) BS10, MX80 & SW35

    BS10 frame profile is the slimmest among them and it is sharp edged just like a sword (kinda triangular shaped). and it's whole frame shape is like a diamond shape. BS10 makes a loud high pitch whistling sound when it cuts through the air. this tell you that it is highly aerodynamic and very low coefficient drag.

    MX80 frame profile is thicker than BS10 but slimmer than SW35, it is octablade shaped. and it's whole frame shape is rather round than BS10 and SW35 also. MX80 also make the same sound like BS10 when you swing it fast enough but not as loud and clear as BS10.

    SW35 frame profile is the thickest one among them. it is oval shaped profile but not box type like YY Armotec. and it's whole frame is also oval shaped. SW35 doesn't make that SWOOSH sound. instead it sound more like WOOOP ! hahaha LOL

    well ... to be able to do that
    I'll need a whole lotta time
    maybe a month or so ...

    just kidding ... I'll need at least 3 matches
    one match for each racket
    and also I need good opponents
    and most importantly a very good partner ;)
    because I only play MD
    and sometimes XD
    but never MS

    How does the MX80 compare to the Arc8DX? Am thinking of selling my 8dx and buying the MX80 for singles and using my BS11 4UG2 for doubles.
