After 3 hours of play here's what I feel. The Good. -Racket frame integrity is SUPERIOR to a lot of rackets reason being that it does not vibrate at all. The frame does not feel like it twist when I mishit which is a plus. -Even during stringing the frame is robust and held up quite good. I think the thick frame is to thank for this attribute. -It is not as stiff as most players claim. It feels between ns9000s/x maybe due to the head heaviness. -Power was there but not as comparable to AT700 or MP100 but definitely high up. -3U feels a bit heavy, although I do not have a scale to weigh it, it feels similar to my 2UNS9000s, 2UCAB23, and 3U Apacs Lethal 70 but general net play was not compromised too much. -Love the slim shaft The Bad. -I like thicker strings, while I was stringing the SW35 i find 0.70mm strings a bit hard to go through the shared grommets as they are smaller than most Yonex rackets. -General head size is a kinda small. (similar to ArcZ) Overall I'm very satisfied with this racket and most likely sell off some other rackets (ti10/lethal70/pandatrinity/other collections) to raise funds for another one. I think this is a great racket to replace my current racket, MP100, but time will tell. I would suggest players who want play a fast pace game to consider the 4U over the 3U. cheers
Finally got my Victor SW35 today. Racquet : Victor SW35 Bag : Victor 2 Compartment Thermo Bag (Black and Gold) String : Victor VS850 @ 27lbs Place of purchase : Mine Sport Store at Balakong, Selangor. Damage : RM380.00:crying: 1st test session will be on this saturday.
i thougt sw35 n sw36 was released on the same year..huhu my bad.. 36 more flexible.. n less get attention when hanging in the shop.. every one was looking for the sw35 for it solid feel when hitting the birdie ..
Yes. It is indeed cheap. Been to Bangi yesterday they sell at RM430.00 without string, and keep pushing LN's racket. Somemore they dont have SW35 in their store room.
Thanks to your post in earlier that i read. You post is one of the most important guidance for me to buy the racket.
to those who have both sw35 & bs10, would i like sw35 if i didnt really like bs10? they feel pretty different huh...
Nobody can answer that except yourself. Just don't get sucked in to what everyone else likes. Figure out what specs suit your style of play, then look for the racket that suits YOU, not the other way around. I often wonder how many people would be better suited to the SW36, but cave in to peer pressure to buy the SW35.
Agreed with what Maklike Tier say. I am not saying SW35 is bad, just that it might suit some people more than others. Every racket will have their supporters. Feel of the racket is very subjective to each individual. Almost got into the trap of reading the reviews of BS 10 and almost buy one myself. In the end, I still bought a bs 9 instead of a 10. Realize one must know how to differentiate people's opinion from your own preference. End of the day, the one using the racket is yourself, not the other guy over the net who might have a better technique or strength than yourself.
those are some wise words. i wish i had a local badminton shop so i can demo rackets but that is not the case :\ best i can do is order online lol and im not in a badminton club right now (cept my schools) so its kinda hard. maybe ill try ocbc someday
