Are you talking actual BP/Swingweight, or how they feel on the court? I've had pretty much every model (except the LYD/JJS/BS15) and so far for me, the head-heaviest one has been the SW310. The mid flex and 303mm BP makes it feel like a Yonex. I've had two SW35's and they were both over 300, but because they were super-stiff and weren't particularly quick, they didn't feel like it. The only other one I've had with that 'weight at the 12o'clock' feel is the old spec BS11. Still, for me, one of the best rackets to suit my style. Kwun, the MX60 on court feels more head heavy than the MX70/London. I've had multiple examples of all the Meteors and they're all 300mm. The 60 because it's the least stiff has more of that 'pendulum' feel than any of the others. Damn, I'm really curious to try the LYD now!
measured swingweight. i find that swingweight is very hard to go by feel. factors like string, grip size, and good/bad day very much confuses the "feel" and somedays i find some rackets ok but some days i find them too heavy. a machine is much more accurate and consistent.
it can also have something to do with manufacturing variation. specs are deliberately vague to account for this. afterall, 3U / 4U etc are a huge range and a few grams and a few mm difference can make a lot of differences to the swing weight. so it maybe possible that the copy of 3U MX60 i got are lighter than yours. but for the MX70. all the ones that i have tested and weighed (around 5 of them) are all in the upper 80grams range. my own MX70 is around 89grams. i was told that there are 2 flavors of Londons. the ones that comes with the fancy plastic case and the ones that are sold in regular cases. and they have different specs. anyway, i think we are very much off topic here. so far i can only say that the K8000 is of a head heavy design. i guess that means it is good for attack, and esp with the extra omph given to it with full graphene, it should be a very interesting racket indeed.
I have both versions of the MX-LONDONs, their difference is in their serial number. they play slightly differently. The LD or truely limited editions (in cases) are somehow built more "solid" in feel while the regular serials are I feel the beefed up versions of MX-70. But back to topic, I cant wait to try one of the K8Ks rackets seeing they might be stiffer in construction.
well, the ones that i have the chance to measure. i am not sure if the Legend is still in production but they are surely very hard to find in the market and rare for anyone to have them in stock.
well, usually China/Taiwan get early dibs on the new rackets. so there is a possibility we will see them there. as for rest of the world, i am not holding my breath...
I heard the Spira series was culled due to manufacture defects in the early batches. Though this was fixed later it did not revive the confidence of consumers and sales suffered. Victor's series IMO are based on either frame or shaft. BS=Sword(aero frame), MX=Octablade (semi-areo?), Superwaves=Box Frame, Spira = Spirawind (shaft wound differently compared with "traditional" racquets)
