    You can use the same racket if you want. You should also look at W11.

    W11 is a more offensive racket. W7 would be better for singles and W11 for doubles.

    I thought Woven 8/8A is the most anticipated racquet from SOTX.

    I can't wait to try their Woven series since everyone's been talking about it... But what's so special about this Woven technology they implemented?

    Woven 7 is good for singles where clears are important as the extra weight gives it the power to easily clear baseline to baseline.
    Woven 8 is better for doubles because lighter weight = faster swing which can mean the difference between a drive and a net kill when being the netman. Also the lighter racket is easier to defend smashes with.

    Woven 16 would be a good racket to have.

    But it's too expensive... Even more expensive than the high-end Yonex...

    Hi i have both of the rackets you mentioned but i prefer the woven 7 more since it's more head heavy than the sf 202, therefore i like it more since i like to smash a lot too =D

    Woven 7

    Woven 7 is a beast but arm pain(strung at 29lbs with NBG98) after 3 games.
    :)

    Will try Woven 11 on this Sunday.

    Don't think this question is related to the topic, but I don't want to make another thread of this.

    Are there SOTX fakes in the market currently?

    yes it is ...... but no need to worry, as long as you got from official agent/distributor, then it must be real ones ....
