Victor New Racket Meteor X JJS ??

Hi davlee, can u share a review of your MXJJS? How does it perform in term of speed, power, etc? Do you mind comparing it with C7 (which you have right?) as well?

Thanks

 

Hi.... I am not quite good in doing review. Done once and people commented that it was not a review but my personal experience and feelings on the racket... Anyhow, I will try to state based on what I feel about the racket, comparing to some rackets that I have used...

The first time I hold this racket and swing it, it really felt very good, very firm and solid feel. Definitely not as stiff as MX80 or SW35 but I would rather use the word 'firm' to describe the racket.

When playing with it, I have no issues in handling it even when playing it the first time. It is easy to use and very much user friendly. It is head heavy like the TK8000 but of course shaft is stiffer than TK8000. I found that TK8000 shaft is kinda too flex for the head weight, seems like doesnt match but found that MX JJS is like a solution to this. The stiffness of the shaft match the head heaviness nicely.

Speed wise, it is fast for drives, net play and everything else. But comparing with F9, I would say that F9 is faster as more flexible and head lighter. As for power, it is a powerful racket I must say. My smash was more powerful than F9. However, the smash angle and power might not be as powerful as TK8000. This is due the fact that TK8000 really has that catapult effect so when you smash, the down force momentum really adds up to your smash power. But at times my wrist gets sprained because of the flex in TK8000...

Comparing to C7 (which I already sold mine), I think this is a better choice. C7 to me is really not here and not there racket. Initially I did enjoy C7 but after awhile, dont find it excel in any way. MX JJS on the other hand feels more 'meatier' and solid compared to C7. C7 feels lighter... I think in terms of speed, C7 might have better speed compared to MX JJS but not by much. Power wise, MX JJS wins! Feeling wise, MXJJS wins too! Haha..

All in all, MX JJS is just what I am looking for to compliment my F9. I need a more solid, more powerful doubles racket and this is the one for me while I can use the F9 if the game is faster and more competitive (or when I got tired).. This is definitely a keeper for me...

Hope it helps..

 

Is the JJS orange or red?

 

It's a between colour!

 

a dark orange?

 

It's metallic so best description I can give you is that weird colour the Nissan Murano used to come with during its first generation.

 

Well if it's even remotely orange, then I know it's the racket for me. A specification I'm looking for and a colour that's been very fruitful for me in my sporting life.

 

Well you would definitely not call it red if you put it beside a racket that is red.

 

A metallic dark/burnt orange is good enough for me. It may sound silly but it may help give me a psychological edge.

That's like porn for me, I love it. Thanks for the research.

 

One imagines you live a sad life. However, I hope the racket is worth this sacrifice.

 

As a multi time national champion powerlifter, my main sponsor's colour was orange. It's a colour that has always done well with me. To find a racket in that colour that has the specs I'm looking for pleases me greatly.

 

Lol no harm in the love of aesthetics.
The JJS was the sexiest racket I ever owned!

 

for me I would said that it is orange

 

Thanks to everyone for their help, my search is over. I just ordered one this morning

 

free upgrade to BG80P too

 

Lucky you still manage to buy it since it has been discontinued, right? 3U or 4U?

 

It's been discontinued? 3U, it's all you can get in this country.

Everyone uses Yonex's I like to be different

 

Discontinued? :crying:
Since when?
