New Victor Racquet - The Meteor X80 ( MX80 )

mx80 is incredibly laser accurate for drives, drops, blocks but is harder to get power out of the shaft because of its crazy stiff shaft. Over the past few months, I've switched to P Pro for obvious reasons.

 

For doubles, I definitely say the X80 is better than the JJS and Z Force. JJS and ZForce are both head heavier than the X80. The X80 is very fast and stiff... Match that with repulsive strings (NBG99 for me), the perfect doubles racket for me.
The JJS is stiff but the head is considerably heavier thus speed suffers as a result. Drives is also very taxing on the wrist and forearm as a result of the head heaviness.
Z Force is very similar to the JJS except it's a lot flexier.

 

I've no problem with power on AT-700, can not say the same for PPRO...maybe MX-80 is not for me..too stiff, should look into a MX-60..

 

what's your p pro specs? mines 88g bp295mm and is perfect for me for fast doubles... powerful and yet fast

 

Erh???? What country do you live in!

MX 80 is stiffer your right and head lighter but it is a heavier racket than the JJS. your speed wont suffer so much if you change from 80 to jjs since it is a lighter racket overall.
Also JJS is stiffer than the z force
Finaly Z force is waaay heavier than the jjs or the 80 and more head heavy

 

Finally broke a string (ZM-65) on my MX-80 last week after 2.5 months of use!

So to, got the satisfaction of fresh ZM-65 @ 27 lb. Such crispness and smashing felt very satisfying. And as preached by visor, drives were just a joy. BTW this was with the lightest of my 3U MX-80s. Let the heaviest beast rest today, haha

 

Lucky you... I use Z67 at 24 and I break every 2 3 weeks loll
I dont know what to do anymore...bankruptcy is close

 

ZM67s shouldn't break with such frequency. Are you mishitting? Perhaps you had a bad batch?

 

Meh I I only break it with feather so I dont know =/ I play feather and plastic and I neve broke my zymax with plastic

 

ashway zymax 67 is still pretty fragile

 

I think my is around 89g BP300, good for clear, drop and drive....smash is not as good as my AT-700, may be need more muscle

 

good heavens... you got a beast there! should have no shortage of power... perhaps its your string and tension?

 

hey madbad...nice to see it last that long . BTW have you used zm62 before? Can you compare with zm65 re power, repulsion, touch, feel, durability, etc?

 

89 g!! That's at the high end of 3Us. You should be able to generate lots of power with this weight. What tension do you use?

 

I havent break my Z65. Maybe my hot climate and climate here is the best condition for a thin string

 

Please consider BS LYD, you wont regret it. Simply the best racket so far for me; I owned MX80, MX60 and some other rackets
cia yo

 

24lbs. with VS-850

 

I used to use that too, but have recently discovered Zymax 62 and 65. I would highly recommend 62 at same tension ... you'll be more than pleasantly surprised by the power and touch from it. Only downside is mishits will break it easily. If so then get the 65. I have 62 @ 25 lbs and its miles better than vs850.

 

I have couple 65 and 67 on hand, will try it after VS-850...though I do get a lot of miss hits on this PPRO compare to my other rackets. Thanks
