    Maneuverability and power on SW35 is noticeably more.

    Have you tried a 3U TK9000? It's impossible to cross block with. It's at least possible with 3U SW35.

    try it with Aerosonic @ 26lbs. I think you will like it, especially the tension holding part.

    Sorry if this question might be stupid :p But what does MIT stand for? I've seen it on some of Victors rackets on their website.

    Hello does anyone know any online shop that still sells this racket today? I always liked the look of it and maybe I cannot resist buying one any longer ;)

    does anyone have durability issues with thruster k9000, specifically when it comes to sinking grommets? How about cracking near the 5&7'oclock positions where there's less material?

    Definitely no such issues with the TK9000. I have both 3U and 4U ones, especially the 4U which has gone through multiple restrings.

    If Victor cannot release any head heavy 3U singles rackets (which they havent done in years according to me) they should at least still produce the beautiful TK9000 so people like me can obtain them easier :mad:
