Recently got my first Victor, a Meteor MX60 - Only had a couple of sessions, but really enjoy using it. I could really begin to like Victor!
For the past two months, I have acquired MX JJS (4U), MX 70 and MX 80 (3U). So far, I like all three rackets =) Although I have some difficulty playing with MX 80 but I will tame the beast soon =)
Clawhammers That's a nice picture you posted - took me by surprise. I'm testing a number of rackets at the moment. My review of JJS has to be posted yet, but I really liked it. Still waiting on Meteor 90 and not quite sure what's happening there but would dearly like to test it. My favourite racket so far is Meteor JJS - a complete surprise because I expected to be using BS LHI after testing that racket. I'm also waiting on Thruster 6000 due soon so hopefully I'll have more information over the next few weeks. Paul www.badminton-coach.co.uk
hahahaha Your pic was taken from victor international website same here, I am looking forward for MX 90 too I hope it could meet expectation from Meteor's fans
Yeah the JJS is a nice racket. I could not get used to the 3U one I had in April but the 4U I picked up last month is doing well. I love it for singles.
They are about the same. the difference lies in the feel of the frame structure of Meteor and Bravesword Paul www.badminton-coach.co.uk
Dear Paul, I have been reading your reviews all these while. Wonder if you will test and review on MX80? It is my main racket now because it is very excellent in so many areas. I will be glad if I can hear from you about it. Hopefully you could arrange to test it as well. Thanks
IMO Victor has made three masterpieces. SW35. BS10 and MX80. Paul, how would you compare the LHI to the BS10?
I think BS10 is a brilliant racket and remember reviewing it a few years ago. I would really like to do a test to compare the two rackets however it's not possible at the moment. I have to go from memory and would say BS10 is stiffer and possibly slightly lighter head although can't be sure on that point. It was certainly stiffer or the review racket I had was. MX80 was a very good racket. I had a few hits with it but not enough court time for a review. At the time I was playing with VT80 and remember saying it felt hollow compared to VT80 although i hit well with it. Aside from that and the colour I can't remember much more. Sadly I cannot write a review about MX80 because i do not access to one. Also, as this racket has been out for some time I'm not so sure there is a point to me writing about it. Aryan - if you like playing with MX80 then surely how you feel about the racket is more important than my review. After all you seem to like the racket which means my review will not count as it's been superceded by your personal feelings about the playability. Paul www.badminton-coach.co.uk
The Legend II is a hidden gem. Too bad cause those of you who think the TK8000 is not stiff enough would absolutely love the Legend II.
If it were priced reasonably, I'd probably have the TK8000 by now. Looks just like my kind of racket - easily manageable stiffness and good weight in the head. My natural choice is usually a bit lighter, but with my attacking play lacking a bit and me being unable to train legs properly for the next 3 weeks I'm investing a fair share of time into upper body, hopefully that'll reap some results
It's my magic doubles racket. It only has one angle and that is steep.... Do they cost a lot in EU? I think Eric carries them as well.
Yep, German price tag is 160€....kinda unaffordable for me. Even from Eric, the cost of 3-4 would be a little steep.
Never played with the N90 but to me the only difference I find is that the Legend II is stiffer. The head heaviness is only slightly more than the TK8000. I like it for both singles and doubles.
