MX80N Review
Haven't really done a review before but feel like i should having recently acquired one and played a match.
Unfortunately i've only had a hit with the old MX80 once and found it too heavy and awful to play with. However, as this was 4U and i was told it's similar to a BS10 i couldn't quite resist.
I usually play with li-ning N55II, BS09 and BS10 mostly for doubles and mixed. I don't hit very hard and focus more on angles and net play so generally prefer stiff rackets (like the BS10) and not too head heavy.
Balance and Looks
94g with an overgrap (bit heavy for a 4U i think?), balance 295mm. Dry swing felt very fast and lighter than my other rackets with similar specs (very confusing). Looks quite nice, tbh i don't really care!
Attack
Surpisingly i felt it was a tad lacking on full power hits, just didn't feel as comfortable for some reason. Probably due to being a new racket and tension quite a bit lower than my preference. However, at it felt so light awkward shots were easier to play as i could get the racket into position a fraction faster.
Defence
Incredibly fast, and good power allowing me to get length quite easily. I'm not sure why it feels so much lighter and faster than the specs suggest but certainly not complaining!
Drives
Absolutely terrific, not only fast and no lag when swinging but felt a lot more stable on hits compared to BS rackets.
Feel
Net shots felt good. Blocks were a bit hard to assess as the tension was a bit lower than what i'm used to.
Conclusion
Very nice racket overall. I'm not sure how victor have made it feel so light and fast despite the specs. It does everything well but defence is where i feel it really excels. If you like stiff rackets but don't want a sledgehammer this is very nice.
