    @ jump-smash how is MX80 compared to BS10 and SW35? especially BS10. I use BS10 exclusively

    didn't he already say that it is a compromise of bs10 and sw35?

    so, faster than sw35 and more powerful than bs10, was his summary

    thanks
    that's what I said

    I got nothing more to say
    except it is the best racket I've ever tried so far
    but okay than I'll add a few words
    it's quick enough and powerful enough
    so fast that looks like as if I'm waiting for the shuttle come, even a smash ! as if I've expecting every shots from my opponents ! as if I've already know which direction the birdy will go !
    you could smash repetitively without losing too much time to recover your position
    or you could combine shots like drop shots and fast flat drive without having any problems at all
    good agility so you could suddenly change your pace, from fast to slow or slow to fast
    that will keep your opponents guessing what your next shot will be
    also good stability and accuracy
    you could channel your attack or placement to a pinpoint precision
    enough said
    time to try it on your own to prove it

    Thx jump-smash for the review! Looks like it's really an all around racquet, good offensive while not sacrifice control.

    yes you can say that it has good offensive character too
    after get used to it's very stiff shaft my wrist and arm are now becoming stronger
    if you put enough amount of energy and pace you can feel the extra stiff shaft bend a little
    and then at the impact with the shuttle ... boom !!! it will unleash a big big bomb !!! kinda dynamite explosion hahaha LOL

    Can someone confirm whether or not the MX80 is a similar sharp edged racket design to the BS10? Also what are the differences between the BS10 and MX80 with respect to stiffness and general properties?

    The MX80 doesnt have the exact frame design as the BS10...tho it is somewhat similar. It has a 'octablade' design instead. And it is stiffer then BS10...stiffness rating of 5/5. From what the rest have said, it is slightly slower then the BS10 but has more power. The rest...correct me if I am wrong =P

    Well, I'm holding off on any new racket purchases for a couple of weeks, so i think it's safe to tell everyone that as of last night, RKEP Eric has 3 MX80's on his ebay.
