Why isn’t anyone using it? Why isn’t it working? Why isn’t anyone using it?
It’s been a long time since I’ve tried to beat my chest like this, but I really don’t understand the situation of this racket, in terms of strength is not below the mx80, in terms of fame at least Vietnam’s Nguyen Tien Minh used, in terms of cost-effective …… well, I don’t understand the market.
70 in the Chinese feather equipment library even longer a little bit of review are not, even if the 80 light is too strong is not to it, than 30L are to come to the cold!
Parameters: 3UG5, de-bottomed, total weight of 94.5g in use condition, balance point 302mm, 7.2mm center bar, 215mm long, hardness on the high side, eight-sided wind breaker frame, 80-hole thread bed, 9-3 point thread slot, warranty 28-30lbs, threading 28-29lbs bg66u.
This is a silver sword …… yuck, this is a bright silver color reveals a orthodox and biting texture of the sharp weapon. Although the sample in my hand has already appeared in many different degrees of falling stickers and paint, and from the state of the handle and the threading pegs it has also been in the sand for several years, but a close examination found that there is no injury to the carbon fiber embryo at all. Combined with the thick frame and center bar, the mx70 looks and feels like an old warrior’s racket. The design of the racket follows the usual style of METEOR’s high-end products, with a layered look and feel.
The weight of this racket is not insignificant, as I tried the notoriously heavy 4U Energy 75C at the same time (more on that in the next installment), and despite taking advantage of its weight, the mx70’s weight is transferred to the hand, and it is a very solid head weight. Strangely, the balance point and the burden of the empty swing do not match the subjective swing weight, it will seem very smooth, perhaps it is still a little bit on the balanced side of the setup, the actual use of a certain degree of flexibility.
The cable weight is high, and the combination of 66 and 70 immediately gave me the “right” feeling in the first few warm-up shots. The center is not very long and a little bit less stiff than the mx80n, and you can feel the deformation of the center when you put a little bit of power on it. I don’t think this racket is easy to use, the stiffness and vibration alone will dissuade a lot of people, but the core of the racket is just as stubborn and attractive as the wood of the stroke from the thick center stick, which makes me happy to use it.
A force to be reckoned with, and accurate when put inside a racquet. The mx70 is more likely to remind me of those old codgers in the Green Factory vt series than all the new tech of the day that moves to 6.6-6.0mm trying to create explosive power through elasticity. There’s no way to provide “Duangduang” flex, and when you’ve already made the frame more solid and the center bar stiffer and the balance point higher to allow for less energy transfer loss at full power, the user is left to figure it out.
And yes, that immediate and naked feeling of violence on the downswing, that’s something that has to be capitalized on. On the one hand, the higher head weight and the frame’s superb torsion resistance provide a strong sense of stabilizing power on heavy kills and point kills, which boosts one’s confidence; on the other hand, the harder driving stiffness and more energy-consuming setup also make players with insufficient stamina or power reserves scream at the end of the set……. It’s no wonder that only the desperate have ever used it.
Compared to the mx80n, the slight drop in stiffness and increased balance point gives the 70 a more borrowed feel, and actually skews the style of use a bit toward the controlled mobilization of a long multi-shot draw. As always, the 80-hole wire bed is able to bring more information to the user, the net hook, roll, put more weight into the solid feeling further enhancement. As the opponent is still afraid of the racket in the downward pressure of the deterrent, coupled with the 70 hanging feel is also very stable, which allows the use of the process of the backcourt after the opportunity to appear in a beat change of pace to the near net also has enough deterrent.
However, this is what I’m going to use it for doubles, and that creates a different kind of challenge. Let’s be clear from the outset, I’m certainly not going to take the 70 to take a novice player to the net.
As defiant as I was when I got on it, the racket is really not fast, but still has good agility in fast-paced repeated shots. With a stiff center and stringbed, the response to the ball is fast and quick, lending to swingweights that hit with force, and the center requires almost no deformation recovery time, making for very consistent shots on flat draw blocks.
The mx70 also has a clear sense of power in all kinds of catch-and-hit defense, and the opponent’s heavy kills are lent back to the backcourt. However, because the swingweight is a bit higher, it will be more difficult to catch some passive balls or backhand handling, and it is not easy to handle perfectly. Not only that, the racket’s usage load is high throughout, and if it weren’t for the adrenaline rush that comes with being fast, it would be hard to use this racket for more than a few hours. I came off the court after a three-hour trial and after a while the muscle groups in my lower arms started to get sore.
It’s basically a tweaked version of the 80’s parameters, with increased head weight and reduced stiffness in the center to make the downswing easier, and a tweaked, slightly more solid feel in attack and ball control. It’s still a blast, and I suggest that those who like the 80 try the 70 when they have the chance.
