    I don't think so. Maybe it will comes with a huge delay to europe or Victor International will skip it like BS15 and SW30.

    MX90 is scheduled to arrive in Europe very soon. I'm not sure if these are samples or a consignment. I will be sent one for testing and reviewing and have been told this will arrive early/mid August.

    Thanks, I was looking to maybe get a Victor (even just to try), and the MX90's specs look quite attractive to me.

    The MX90 looks very interesting. Looking forward to seeing some reviews of it.

    Read any reviews of the MX London? Because it should be pretty close to that one.

    The hold they are talking about sounds like what the Thrusters accomplish with catapult structure. I get the hold feeling on my TK8k and a little less on the Legend II probably cause it is stiffer.

    London and JJS have identical specs except that JJS has Graphene T-Joint.

    I think it's the other way around. I remember BS-LYD and MX-JJS were sold out within few months after they were released to the market in few countries until Victor imported another batch to restock. Both have the same 4/4 BP and 4/4 stiffness.
    IMHO, from the business perspective, there's no advantage for Victor to compete in N90 or VTZF kind of markets as Li Ning and YY have started their own market league. The 4/4 area is still available for Victor to close the gap. Frankly speaking, most of the amateur players don't need the 5/5, 5/5 rackets at their level, do they ?

    Material wide, it is closer to Mx-London by using the so-called Hybrid Composite instead of Graphene. We'll just need to see whether the 0.2mm slimmer shaft can really make a difference.

    That's disappointing to hear. Was looking forward to seeing what this racquet was like sooner rather than later.

    We have yet to see the pricing for MX90

    Considering V has just updated their latest 2013 Autumn/Winter Catalog in its global website, then it will be followed by 2013 Autumn/Winter Catalog in its Taiwanese website (around early september).

    With reference to the content of past catalogs, V will put the retail price for all products in its Taiwanese catalog.

    Let's just wait and see..... CMIIW

    Following Victor higher expenditure especially for Sponsorship as compared to last year. My guts are telling me that Victor will price its current flagship, MX90 $20-$30 lesser than Nanoray Z Speed.
