    Not a bad string, but tension drops fast.

    How's the quality control on this one? Nobody noticing any flaws production/finish wise?

    My not-so-old YY Arc 009DX started to chip paint suspiciously fast and eventually the frame broke. Planning on getting a new one but I don't want one that chips when you hit the frame again.

    if you are very picky with the paint, I suggest don't take MX80
    actually the racket itself used a clear finish, the rest is sticker (frame part on the left and right side. upper and bottom of the frame used paint)
    and the sticker does not stays for too long if you do a lot of hard miss hit..
    however, my MX80 is still in good condition, yes they sticker gone, but I haven't seen any chips
    I used the racket for 9 months now, it is not pretty anymore, but it does get its job done

    Hai there,

    May I ask.....I know this racket is made from heaven for double players, but does this racket suitable for single play? My style is mostly all around but I'm not afraid to land devastating jump smash if I have the chance.

    Currently have VT80,SW 35 and Cab 21 Special, now I'm considering whether to buy an Arcsaber 10 or MX80.

    I have no problems using it for singles play, I just bought one of the heavier ones:) i still prefer the SW35, but there is no problem using it for doubles...

    Man...... SW35 is such a beast. The solid feeling and the power from SW35 is untouchable. If not because my SW 35 is still in good condition, I would certainly get another one.

    But I want to try something new, now in dilemma between Arc 10 and MX80.

    Well don't try Arc10 if you like SW35, I'd stick with Victor and go for the MX80:)

    hmm.. I feel that there is something wrong with my MX80.. I used it yesterday and after around 60 minutes playing, it starts vibrating a lot..
    I wonder why
    I thought it's the string but I didn't see anything strange, the string is fine, but I felt the vibration every time I hit the bird

    the shaft could be damaged or there could be a crack in the frame of the racket.

    I checked it, there is no visible damage on the shaft and the frame
    hopefully it is just my imagination..

    i still find MX80 to be one of the best racket i have tried.

    i just replaced my broken one from last year and played with it a few times. i am in love again.

    only hit with a demo a few shots. it was not strung by me so it was hard to tell if it was good.

    bright yellow very hard to not get noticed from wife. ;)
