Pros:

Its very light at 81grams
|
|
Cons:

this racquet is very light and its very simlar to the yonex 900 SR, it can do fast and powerful smashes. the shaft is too stiff and not too soft unlike the mp-88 4u, i find that mp-88 has a too soft shaft and i can do hard smashing it. while the woven 6 has more stiffer shaft for my style of playing. i like to play mid and rear so i need a racquet that is light and very stiff too. i bought a yonex ti-10 3u from bluejeff 5 months and i been looking for simlar racquet that doesn\'t use alot of strength to move because the 3u racquets can get very heavy after you been playing badminton non- stop for 3-4 hours. i have more than 15 racquets in total and i find this one the most lightest one on the market and which very for diffence and smashing too. The most important thing is the price is this its only half the price of the yonex at-800.
so do buy this racquet and try it out you wouldn\'t be disappointed with its performace and its value for money too.

Wolf in sheeps clothing(Finish/paint could b better)

In short: %100 happy, no regrets at all!
This racquets is fantastic, a Yonex of same price would be totally out classed by the Woven6, especially in terms of strenth and durability.
For a light raquet(one of the lightest Wovens if not the lightest) it still able to transfer abundant power to the shuttle, for effortless clears and smashes.
Finish and paint could b better although the finish is durable and not chip prone. Some raquets on the market seem to look nice/stylish but are not as good as they look.( Like a Ferrari that has no motor).
Net play/ finese/control shots are as impressive as its power. Shuttle goes where u want and the light weight allows for easy last moment change of shot direction deception.
I highly recomend this raquet for someone who is looking for a solid, good value racquet without all the hype.
I tried so many racquets, mainly Yonex ti\'s and armortecs, and there was no questions about it when i test fired this, it makes them all feel like Junk(sorry yonex fans).
I will definitely by another WOVEN6 for a spare racquet and to experiment with different strings/tensions.
One cab20 would cost me around $240Aud and two WOVEN6\'s $300Aud.
Two better quality racquets for a little more!
and will last longer too due to its higher strenth.
Sotx make Yonex look like a disposable one use throw away.
Sotx all the way. Why pay more for less?

Pros:

amazing deffense, allows for exceptional wrist shots, surprisingly stable considering it\'s weight
|
|
Cons:
|
Lacks raw smashing power
|

I found this to be a superlight all around racket, the Woven 6 has a balance and weight suitable for both offensive and defense play.
Woven rackets are made from a combination of 800D high-grade carbon fibre and fibreglass; this combination, \"woven\" together, produces significant elasticity compared to traditional high-modulous graphite. The end result is more \'bang\' per hit, and yet, the racket maintains a highly tuned sense of vibration dampening while having a distinct feeling of control and stability.
You actually notice this. This racket actually feels lighter than the Karakal SL-70 (the lightest racket in the world) and I feel that it also has a better impact feeling.
Other have already mentioned how if you were to find a Yonex of similar characteristics and quality, you\'ll pay twice as much...
The Woven 6 offers outstanding defense ability-- weighing only around 83 grams, it is extremely responsive, enabling players to defend against those fast and unexpected attacks that heavier rackets would struggle to keep up with.
On the offensive side, the lightness of the racket equates to easier \'wrist shots\'. Deceptive netplay fpr me was a lot easier, thanks to unlaboured sense of control, and offensive smashes can be performed with higher frequency, thanks again to it\'s lightness; the ability to use more wrist power enables smashes from more angles than would normally be impossible with a heavier racket.
This racket is very similar to the SOTX STB-8080+, except with a slightly different feel due to it\'s composition and the isometric head.
A lot of people like to think that a head heavy or overal heavy racket is the only way to go, but i beg to differ, don\'t say that until you\'ve tried out something like the Woven 6... you can\'t win all games with brute force, and if you want to be an \'opportunistic\' hitter who uses tactics rather than just muscle, the Woven 6 is good for you!
I\'ve used Yonexes, HiQuas, SOTX, BlackKnight, and Victor, and of the light class rackets, this racket (along with the STB 8080+) are my favorites. A lot of light rackets lack stability because they\'re too head light to resist lateral torsion, but the Woven 6 is surprisingly stable, and doesn\'t have that nasty vibration feeling you get from other lightclass rackets.

Excellent all-around racket, extremely light and fast transitions
|

Cons:
|
No slouch but not the most powerful racket.
|

The Woven 6 is probably the best lightweight racket I've used. Most light rackets lack stability and power but the Woven 6. It's very stable and is very good at offense. It's not the most powerful racket but it can hold its own.
If you like stiff, light rackets, the Woven 6 is the way to go.
