    You got the green monster liao, no need another one :p

    I will wait for twobeer feedback and then decide if I should get it.

    I will help check if they have stock when I am in HK, the previous trip I wanted the GP80, they also don't have stock.

    They are both 85-90g,675mm. I assume L9 is head-heavier and stiffer.. but I have no specs :) .. "the truth is out there" :)

    I can well believe it. What I can't believe is the price.

    You bought two racquets without knowing their specs at all? :confused:

    Well I knew some specs.. like 1) long 2) iso aero frame 3) 86-90g, 4) new solid-carbon material, etc..

    The makers flex rating usually does not say much anyway imop, bp would be interesting to know the details about.. but. yes I am curios so I bought them to evaluate, mosily due to intereste in the solid-carbon-concept material :cool:

    Specs like bp, flex, weight etc. don't really tell me much of a rackets qualities and how it performs anyway!

    Be honest, if it had a square head and had a concrete handle you would still buy any racquet with the words "new" and "carbon" associated with it, wouldn't you :p

    ps God Jul

    Interestingly it only seems to come in G5 and G6. Ladies racquet (although there's a bloke in the picture) or "new" trend? (Taufik Arc-ZS G6) Or related to the "more Fit Grip"? :D

    I take it /T ordered it in G5?

    L9 has a very similar balance with TC700, but the swing speed is faster than TC700 and much easier to give an accrate high clear, even my TC700 has BG80 @ 24lb while L9 has BG70PRO @ 28lb.
