The cone is stuck on with glue and the glue has probably cracked. My C7 clicks if I flex it by hand, but you can't hear it on court.
Just a quick post to join this thread..I am a convert from Yonex (and many others-Gosen, Carlton, Lining, Wilson, Head etc)...after a dozen or so racquets i have found my home =)....VICTOR. I now play with Challenger 9500, BS170 and BS 12...strung at 26 lbs.
I am a Mx80 lover, best all around racket I have seen my whole life kingkon, u said u have tried so many brands and victor is the 1st(me too) so wat is your 2nd? cause I've seen u got try Gosen rackets and wanna ask wat u think about them.
K, I see. It's not very head heavy: Balance：HH○●○○○HL Shaft Stiffness：S●○○○○F How head heavy is it compared to VT80? Arc10 is not that fast, that's known. But it's a good allround racket. Because it's mid balanced. And MX-80 is not :S But probably I'd rather consider to test a MX-70, because I don't like it very very stiff. (The over stiffness of NS9900 was not very enjoyable :S)
Dry bp mx80 is 295mm, while arc10 is 290 mm and vt80 is 305mm... so a huge difference in balance. However, despite being head heavier, mx80 will still swing faster than arc10 due to better aerodynamics and will hit harder due to increased stiffness.
The MX80 is most definitely quicker than the Arc10. Remember that BP and weight are only indicators for a racket's speed and feel. The difference between Arc10 and MX80 is smaller (concerning BP), I'd personally actually tag the MX80 as better all-around because it's so much quicker. On the other hand, it's also more demanding... Arc10 is actually slightly head-heavy, not balanced. Even if it's only very slightly
