Previously, Blue Factory’s MX was a series that I never touched, and the reasons for not actively dabbling in it were manifold. First, the reputation, especially the MX80, is still a lot of advanced, fever players favored racket, including a lot of high exposure equipment bloggers also use it as the main equipment; Second, a variety of versions, and different versions of the parameters of the fine-tuning of the headache, the impression that the MX80 have been replicated how many times, and there are also new colors and a small wing version of the division; Third, the first year or the first batch of the most original products still high prices, as well as the series of high-end models would have been high pricing, not to mention the players of the series. Thirdly, the high price of the first year or the first batch of the most original products, as well as the high pricing of the high-end models of the series, not to mention the player’s model JJS; Fourthly, this is indeed a very old and classic series, for the discontinuation of the work I usually put the priority back.
A lot of golfers may have noticed that I updated the MX30L earlier, and I thought it would be a good time to reach out to the replica X80.
Parameters: 4UG5, with sole, total weight of 94.9g in used condition, balance point 286mm, 7.2mm center shaft, 210mm long, hard tuning, eight-sided windbreaker frame, 80-hole wire bed, 9-3 point wire groove, 26-28lbs warranty, 25-27lbs threading Carlin 66F.
MX80N’s positioning is fierce masculinity, the white gold painting style makes the author very popular, comes with a king of gorgeous flavor. After the hand to scrutinize, can’t help but make an expression packet, “tsk, nice”. Starting from the middle pole to the head, with a large number of gradient, the primer color has a golden to pure white gradient as well as the frame to the transparent varnish of the sudden change to the sudden change, not only that, in the frame of the 2, 10, 4, 8 points Victor intentionally exposed the carbon fiber texture of the place is also bordered with a purple, so that the entire racket in the hegemony at the same time looks like a rich sense of hierarchy, the amount of detail skyrocketed. It’s easy to fall in love with something so special.
This is by no means a racket that can be played in the hand with a feeling of almost no sugar. On the day of the trial, I was a little rusty, and after attempting to warm up a little bit and pulling the MX80N against my opponent for a few rounds, I decided to give up. Hard, very hard, even now in the subjective feeling is not softer than the top stiff speed 10. As the oldest racket with the hardest taper cap, the 80-hole face is no less difficult to drive than the 76-hole face of the small frame, and players who have never touched this type of racket before may be surprised to find themselves hitting a steel plate after threading it at a regular poundage.
But it’s also a very provocative racket, as it has a very stiff shot. The current specification MX80N is actually a balanced racket, with a balance point of only 286 giving the racket an excellent feel for power, and this 210mm hit-taker delivers extremely direct shot feedback along with superb drive difficulty. Surprisingly, though, it was silky smooth enough for overhand lobs, and with the wind-breaking effect of the octahedral frame, the swing was virtually drag-free and the launch felt clear. In terms of stimulating the sudden secretion of hormones, the MX80N is very superior.
After warming up for two games, I finally felt confident enough to use the MX80N in a match. And after just one game, the X80 directly made me mesmerized by its performance in high-intensity confrontation. Cranky, fast, and drained of energy, if I had to describe the excitement, it would be about as exciting as chasing the moon in a colorful cloud with no protection, no reservations, no regard for the consequences, and only the thrilling feedback from each shot.
Violent because it is violent enough, the backcourt of a shot of heavy killing although it is to eat by the skill, but it seems to live up to all the user’s efforts, as long as the explosive power is enough, the MX80N can give itself both sound and effect of the offensive effect, what is even more rare is that this is not a head-heavy racket, no wonder it will be described by the senior players as Victor wrist-breaking artifacts. It reminds me of Jung Jae-sung’s backcourt bombardment.
It’s crisp because the MX80N balances a very high level of swing speed and agility, and I thought that only a bright sword frame type could make that air-splitting sound until I heard similar results on the MX series. The racket balance is really low, paired with a configuration that’s stiff enough in every area to be amazingly crisp out of the ball, which also gives it a god-awful flat draw blocking experience, as if it hadn’t lost out on being faster or more consistent. It’s quite a relief to follow up a heavy kill from the backcourt with a shot to the middle of the court with a consistent downward pressure.
Needless to say, the higher power threshold and relatively insufficient damping experience make the MX80N’s usage load remain high. 80-hole wire bed and ultra-stiff center bar will become a weapon in active times, but when it comes to passive times, it’s hard enough, and players with insufficient power skills can easily get a backhand waistline after a shot back to a high ball in the mid-court. But relatively speaking, its sense of catching the killer thanks to the clear feedback can realize the rapid rebound, top backcourt to force the opponent to lean back, or suddenly blocked to draw a slice to destroy the coherence, have their own set.
For this equipment with a very high ceiling, with the hard line, combined with the MX80’s hard center stick, the pointing of the ball is very well done, whether it is the backcourt of the high, flat high, or soft pressure, point kill, the ball landing point can be better in line with their own expectations of the state of affairs, very close to the performance of the TK series of traditional box racket frame is simply a perfect match.
MX series positioning is a comprehensive attack, in the discussion of specific racket models, the N suffix to indicate more in the appearance of the new color scheme. 4U weight and moderate balance point gives the MX80 enough solid grip, out of the ball is not false. In terms of stroke feedback, the racket does have a bit of wood, which is a characteristic of the entire series or this 80-hole frame. Although it’s only the second time I’ve touched the MX series, I’ve learned a lot about the octahedral frames and the 80-hole stringbed during previous trials with other brands, and it has excellent performance as a setup that can blend stability, torsion resistance and low wind resistance. I’m not sure if the new colors have optimized the racket’s build process, and I didn’t experience the rumored noticeable feeling of hitting wood on the MX80N, which at least seemed to have a better texture when compared to both its first-generation contemporaries, the TK four-digit ortho, and the MX30L, whereas all the current assortment of Paro Carbon mids are just getting Q-bouncy by comparison.
I have an overwhelming love for it.
