New Victor Racquet - The Meteor X80 ( MX80 )

You got it from HK ?

For Taiwan, they are giving the nylon bag.

 

Bro Teoky, you already bought one?

 

I will be getting this in April.... Looking forward to it already

 

sorry, its the nylon bag. got it in HK. its available now, together with all the other new models.

 

The MX80 is now on Chris' website, saying available from March 1st.

 

my MX80 is CN coded because it was bought in China for 1590 RMB
strung with VS850 (0.68 mm) 26/28 lbs
overgrip Yonex Super Grab over original grip
Gross Weight = 93.5 grms
Balance Point = 294 mm
Stiffness = 5/5 = Very Stiff / Extra Stiff
even stiffer than BS10 and SW35

 

Don't you mean 'Net Weight', or did you buy a 2U?

 

Rmb 1590??? Wow, thats steep. Mine is hk code, selling for hk1280.

And yes, it is very stiff, the stiffest i hv come acrossmso far.

 

I mean gross weight = racket + string + grip
netto weight = racket only

CMIIW ???

 

It's the other way around.

I think I'm going to have to scrub the MX80 off my 'to buy' list. Stiffer than the SW35!?! Count me out.

 

My initial impression from bending the shaft is that it is very stiff, seems stiffer than SW35, might be on par with TC700 or even slightly stiffer ! But need to play with it to have a more accurate assessment.

 

Wow ! Both prices are expensive !

 

yeah that's very expensive ! RMB 1,590 = IDR 2,180,000 !
and HKD 1,280 = IDR 1,480,000 only ! wow that cheap !

thanks for correcting me
as you know i'm not a native speaker (English is my second language)

what do you mean ? they are big different ! HK is way cheaper than CHN by far !

 

just came back from my second session. i can attest it is the stiffest racquet i have played with.

for those looking for the stiffest racquet around, you should give x80 a try. i have to say it will not be suitable for everyone. its probably a tad too stiff for me. but other aspects of the racquet is good for me. Head heavy but not as heavy as at700 or n500I, thus giving sufficient sting to my smashes and it does have very good manouverability to come with it.

for your info, i am comparing it to the racquets i have (at900T, at700, bs10, n50II).

 

could you please compare it to the AT900T?

 

Yes, HK is cheaper but Taiwan even cheaper !

 

what!? pls tell me how much is the price in Taiwan NT??

 

Struggling, I don't know wheter to wait for this or buy more SW35's the fact it is even stiffer than SW35 I would like, but is it head heavier ? Or is it just a stiffer SW35 (if it was the case I would buy 3 right away) but hoping for an in depth review and comparison with SW35 first.

 

SW35 is head-heavier
SW35 BP = 298 mm, total weight 94 grms
MX80 BP = 294 mm, total weight 93.5 grms

but MX80 is stiffer than SW35
the octa-blade frame of MX80 is thinner than SW35
so it is more aerodynamic
but SW35 frame packs more power I think

but I'll try MX80 tonight and will compare it to my SW35 and BS10 tomorrow
