    MX-JJS has more metallic feedback and a bit more head heavy, never tried MX70 but IMHO MX90 is very close to MX-London.

    Tks. How about stiffness, power, speed?

    Stiffness: JJS > 70>= 90
    Power: JJS > 70 > 90
    Speed: 90 > JJS > 70

    Despite the specs I find the JJS actually feels kind of more aerodynamic.

    MX-JJS feels stiffer and crispier. MX90 slightly faster, probably due to the heavier head of the sample I've owned.
    I can't comment on power, I'm not a powerful player. Regardless the racket I use, my smashes are noob !

    Hahaha

    Quixilver is a humble person. But I would always look up for any of his opinion concerning a racket.

    He's been playing badminton for many years, and developed positive qualification for reviewing badminton racket, in our local forum.

    Tks fellas!

    Yah, I remember him posting a video on the post a video thread. His style is similar to mine. Counter attacking, don't smash much because too much energy consumed. Only smash if sure kill. :p

    I rephrase, MX90 is slightly faster compared to MX-JJS. Well, the only MX-JJS 3U I had before was a bit overweight though. Maybe [MENTION=101636]Ch1k0[/MENTION] can confirm this :D

    Nah. 90 is definitely faster all things equal. Your JJS was in 2U territory >=(

    Hi,

    Just broke my second lyd so im considering to get either mx90 or another lyd. I googled around and the only thing that everybody seem to agree with is: lyd is faster than mx90. I also read somewhere that the head of mx90 is bigger ? what is the balance point and stiffness of mx90 compared to lyd ? Thanks

    MX90s I had before all maintained high 290s. That was back before I switched to towel so my combo of VS-850 and a whole Victor GR233 over grip over the original grip maintained the original dry balance of my rackets.

    Which racket is more an offense oriented racket? MX90 or K9000? I used to think the MX90 was stiff and head heavier than the K9000, but now I'm hearing the opposite. So which one is it? What Yonex racket does the MX90 compare to? I'm considering purchasing a Victor racket, but everything I've read seems to contradict.

    The TK9000 is the more offence orientated racquet of the 2.

    Concur with dbswansea.

    TK-9ooo feels stiffer n definitely head heavier than MX90.

    The closest Yonex would probably be the Arc 11 - stiff, slightly head heavy.

    TK9000 is not only more aggressive than the MX90, it's more aggressive than any other current Victor.

    so now which is more suitable for me? mx90 4u or arc11 3u.

    And my bro hurt his arm during smashing using arc11 3u. Please advice which racket he should use?
