Altus is way too expensive and at the same price bracket as Fortius but the technology seems better than the Altius. The series other than JPX are also at the same price range of JPX but don't have that technology/inovation as the JPX like hexagon frame, combi frame. Other series that interest me is Speedflex 7.0 Pro due to its light, ultra flexible and Head Heavy. None of the JPX or Fortius have this kind of spec, but the Speedflex is lacking other features .
if i see some of their racket namely F30P/C, JPX series, xyst series, they seems like to fit in their own category as they had their own uniqueness. Like XYST that promote their T-Joint which would improve stability & control. JPX series that use different frame type combination as selling point. F30 that use classic box frame with slimmer shaft & solid/filling frame similar to Yonex solid feel core tech. But idk, im not quite following MZ racket. Maybe thing/stuff on XYST, Prototype, Technix are an old tech.
Is interesting the top 3 rackets are made in Japan. I didn't know. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
I see, sorry my bad. But is it possible to find a fortius 10Q which weigh within the 3U weight range? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
if it exist, well it might be hard to impossible to find. To find one that had quite big production error with nowdays tech, i think it will be 1 of a whole 10Q ever released Anyway, had anyone try XYST03?
The best bet is you go to badminton store, weight all the F10Q they have, then pick the one that closer to 3U
Hi guys. New BC member here. I am a decent intermediate to lower advanced on my best days and at my age (46) I am forced to play a tactical patient controlled style. I play only singles game and I have the JPX Limited. I still play with it and I think it is an overall good racket. I believe I was able to secure a good copy as mine does not feel light for an 87gram racket. I play with both feathers and plastics and keep my tension on all my rackets at 24/26 using the BG66 Ultimax. I love slightly head heavy rackets that plays balanced. I came from various Voltrics (my shoulders could not handle those no more) and the Arc10 & 11 before trying the JPX Limited and now the 100ZZ. I honestly do not feel a lot of difference in terms of speed and power between the JPX Limited and the 100ZZ. It is in the control department where the JPX limited lags behind the 100ZZ which is understandable as the 100ZZ has a much stiffer shaft. Although Mizuno rates the JPX Limited's shaft as stiff, I feel that it is in between flexible and slightly stiff. Regardless of such, I have played a lot of great games with my JPX Limited. I was reading the comments and was surprised at some of the criticisms about it. If you have a solid technique and a good amount of fitness behind you, this racket will not fail you. After all it is still the hand the wields the sword that matters. I believe that all rackets will have its merits and could shine if you are patient enough to draw out its potential and play to its strengths. Happy playing my friends.
Just ordered a F10P, very excited to compare against my F10Q - But probably will only get to test it in at least month...
thanks bro, i also play arc 11, nanoray 900 and now the jpx ltd editon sale 95usd in vietnam during Black Friday. I will buy it.

I recently bought 3 Mizuno racket, JPX V-Edition, Fortius 30 Control, Technix 1.2i to replace my JPX Ltd Ed. First, I want to share my thoughts on JPX V-Edition as I already finish using the racket. I will share my review on the other racket when I finish get the complete feel of them. The JPX V-Edition, as I measured my self: Weight: 83.83 gr BP: 300mm. The frame is combi frame. Aero hexagram from the bottom to the middle and V Frame from middle to top frame. The aero hexagram part, JPX Ltd Ed is more sharper than V-Ed. The V frame, oh boy, its really thin and sharp. The head frame is shorter than JPX Ltd Ed, but little bit wider. The shaft feels medium to me. Feel of the racket Swing speed is surprisingly fast. I didn't expect it since the BP is 300mm. It feels faster than Fortius 30 Control which is an even balance racket. Maybe that because of the thin V frame and aero hexagram frame. The sweet spot area is large. I rarely miss hit with this racket (maybe due to the wider frame). The racket is stable. I don't feel any vibration when the racket hit the shuttle. Another surprising found, this time a negative one, is that it lack power compare to JPX Ltd Ed, F30C and Technic 1.2i. A surprise because the BP is 300mm. Suppose to be a head heavy racket that generate good power. Instead it feels like a speed racket. The control, net play, is okay with this racket.. In the end, I sold this one
I saw all those high end Mizuno in Tokyo last year, but still use 5U Speedflex 7.0 and mostly 7.0 Pro. Otherwise, 5U Yonex FB and Voltric I Force. Sometimes with 1 or 2 cm of lead tape. All BG65 at 24lbs. Very easy to play with as the weight makes nets, defence, and flicks, effortless. Also, I have found the newer Wave Fangs to be not as grippy as the ones from 5 years ago. Probably, more longevity on the rubber mats though.
