    Thank for the advice :)

    Actually, I have 4 candidates : AT900T, SW35, MX80, and N50.
    But, because I never have Victor racket before, I'll buy Victor this time :)

    You make a right decision....AT900T is not that maneuverable compared to MX80, unless you wanna buy 4U AT900T, the story might be different..:p

    After two weeks of a lot of games, I sticked with the SW35 and must say, that this racket beats my affair MX80.
    @LD rules!: I'm addicted, too. Can't put the SW35 down. This love is too strong.:p

    See you guys. I must change my avatar.:D

    Yeah, just something about the SW35 that you can't put down...

    Like sometimes when I am bored or not feeling in the mood to use the SW35, I'll use another racket like AT700LTD, or one of my friends rackets, and I will play well with these rackets, but then after a while I will feel that I'm missing something, so I switch back to my SW35 and everything feels just right:)

    I reckon I should try SW37 cause I've noticed that there are some rackets midflex that I like, but I'll have to see what the budget permits...:p

    Which midflex rackets do you like and would you like to demo? I'm looking for a midflex one or two but it's hard to make a decision. Thinking about BS 09, BS 12, Sw 37 and some others. Maybe you have some inspirations, cause we both love SW35 till death. :)

    ^^^ The logical one to try first would be none other than sw37. Then you'll need to start a new thread: sw35 vs sw37. :D

    All I can say is, the MX80 and I are very compatible - I like its manoeuvrability and the speed very, very much! My playing style is more defensive, so my favourite is still the BS10, but I like how the MX80 lets me do occasional, quick and light smashes.

    Hard smashes also work decently with MX80, though having briefly played with the SW35, I believe that the SW35 can deliver harder smashes than the MX80, though I have always struggled with attack play. (I thought of changing my style and bought a VT80 (super head heavy in my opinion), and ended up having to sell it because I couldn't defend well with VT80 and I wasn't able to make good use of its full potential when I had chances to smash.)

    But needless to say, the MX80 is a fantastic racquet and I highly recommend it for all-round players who tend to be a bit more gentle with the shuttle!

    Ok, could someone please compare the SW35 and the MX80 with the Yonex VT-70 and VT-80 in the following aspects:
    1. Shaft stiffness
    2. Head heaviness
    3. Maneuverability (Which racket moves through the air faster)
    4. Absolute Power (Raw smashing ability!)

    I own a VT-70 and have played with a VT-80 as well. I'd like to know how they compare in these aspects with their Victor counterparts!
