No, I just started up Competition again, so I'm trying not to experiment too much. Didn't seem to make any difference last night though as I lost my singles 21:15, 5:21, 21:18
Yeah but the problem is that the only colour left judging from past history is red, and nobody wants yet another red racket!
I'm still in love with my MX80. Dragged the new SW35 out a couple of times, but the MX80 is still the king.
I'm still yoyoing with the MX-80. I have noticed if I am tired prior to my badminton session, the racket doesn't work. If I am fresh, the racket is simply amazing. Call me Hafiz Hashim, hehe....
Isn't your regular racket ns9000x? So you find the mx80 more powerful but more demanding in comparison?.... Btw, I'm thinking of getting the mx70 when it releases. Wanna combine shipping?
I think it's the weight balance that's caught me out from time to time. However, a lot less mishits but I have to adjust the strength of my clears. Quite loving it though. Combined shipping sounds good. Let me know when it's time
Drop the poundage a little. My VS850's backed off a pound or two, and the playability went up, especially in backhand clears and when I was getting tired towards the end of a hard session. Just that extra little bit of forgiveness at the end of the night can sometimes be a godsend. (Slowly figuring out that different rackets require different stringing, and that just putting 26lbs on everything doesn't necessarily work )
You fellas will be real happy to know I backed up my singles loss last week with an equally stupid loss this week..... Last week - 21:15, 5:21, 21:18 This week - 21:6, 17:21, 11:21 Clearly it's the rackets' fault. Hurry up MX70!
Experienced another phenomenon with the racket today. Really good and really bad all in a 3 hour session. All the power stuff was good–drives, smashes, clears, backhands All the touch stuff went to pot–drops, net shots, deceptions, forehand lifts (weird thing was backhand lifts were perfect) Conclusion: it's the player, not the racket... SIGH!
just strung my MX80 with nbg98@29.5lbs. holy smokes. the repulsion and sound coming out of this combo is unreal. it is so loud it scares away my opponents. seriously, it is very good for fast attack. but touch shots is really bad. no bounce at all so it actually takes more pronounced strokes to do push and drops. which take a bit of getting use to. but i think i can get used to it.
