    And as the TK9900, it would appear.

    Three small heads, all 2+4 pattern... have Victor finally started listening to my ravings?:)

    And there's no mention of compact frame in the sales pitch...

    Ah, my bad, it is compact but not as compact as JS10... very interesting!

    I'll have to wait for HX900 with RRI of at least 8-9...

    And then you go for the 10U with a swing weight of 17g, right?:p

    The HX900 will be the MX80 sequel - or it had better be.

    Maybe it will be the HX1000! After all Victor seem to have adopted the number 10 as the new close to ultra stiff performance spiritual successor.

    I would really love a racket in-between the MX80 and the MX90 so maybe a 3u HX850...:rolleyes:

    This is not a review but just my initial impression as i have just bought it and i haven't played it yet.

    the spec:
    weight: 88g with original grip and string on.
    balance: 310mm again with original grip and string on. Some might say this is similar to MX60 but this is definitely head heavy racket not like the MX60 which is to me quite evenly balanced. You can feel the head weight easily on swing.
    Flex: medium. similar to mx60/yonex vt70 .

    Overall this is a head heavy racket with quite boxy frame but the swing seems not slow at all maybe due to the light weight. This is a racket very similar to VT70 but maybe very slightly less head heavy or almost the same. It is definitely more powerful than MX60.

    I'm sill waiting for my JS10 to arrive so that i can review it. I've already got two HX800's on order although it will be August before they arrive.

    By the way, JS10 is sold out in Europe so only retailers have stock. New deliveries will be in August too.

    Finally my review of BS9N is live on my website.

    Yeah hahaha. They released it shortly after the TK9000 last year in conjunction with the 4th transformers movie.

    unlucky me. after a DOA/broken shaft MX-90 last year, replacement racket suffered the same failure.
    could be a bad batch but nobody can surely tell. bought this off overseas; will be very difficult to claim for any guaranteed replacement... bummer.

    Would you guys say the Jetspeed S 9 would be a good backup/replacement for the 9900?

    No - the JS9 is not only two classes lighter, it is nowhere near as stiff
