Badminton Racket Victor MX70 Reviews
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.

Badminton Racket Victor mx80 Reviews
In recent years, Victor has released a number of great racquets: the Dragon Tooth series, the Black Gold Falcon 100x, and many others, most of which have become popular around the world. It’s true that as technology gets better and better, the racquets get better and better. However, there are still some great racquets that have survived time and the trials and tribulations of the masses, and are still able to stand alone in a world where the best of the best are at work.
Undoubtedly, the mx80 is such a Victor’s ancient artifact. The high hardness of the center stick and the eight-sided blade frame predestine it to be extraordinary. This racket in the 2012 London Olympics as the Korean men’s doubles Zheng Jaicheng’s war racket, all the way through the thorns and thistles, although in the semifinals of the Danish men’s doubles, but its performance is not at all due to the failure of the dust. 18 years of the news of Zheng Jaicheng’s death, in addition to a few paragraphs of sighs and sighs of relief, the brain can still be reflected in that year’s Olympic Games of the heroic posture.
In addition to the men’s doubles, South Korea’s men’s singles brother Sun Wanhu also took it to the 2012 Olympic Games on the field. Although the journey stopped at Denmark’s Gade, but the splendor is still continuing.
I got my hands on one because of the sentiment and its strength.
The 28-pound yellow bg65 string and the distinctive lacquer are to my liking. The overall dark black color of the carbon weave has a three-dimensional, technological feel that is hard to see on today’s rackets. The laser gold, silver and red squares are inlaid on it for a dazzling, but not corny look. Inside the side frame there is a large gold X character, glittering, radiating a charming golden light. The whole is like a bright star in the Milky Way, attracting the attention of the universe.
Okay, let’s talk about the feel.
The best, the most enjoyable racket, there is no one (NF800p can be retired).
This is an ancient artifact that requires a high level of quality from the user to demonstrate its strength. The stars need the sun to shine, the 11 years old racket only has 2u, 3u. the first hand has a slight head weight, 3u is as light as 5u. how hard is the center stick? Probably a little bit stiffer than a zsp and a lot stiffer than a 100zz, which is what I was going for (laughs).
After just a few shots on the range, I knew this wasn’t going to be a good one. The high stiffness of the center stick makes the force required to hit the ball higher, and the 7.2mm center stick is not very flexible, so it’s just a matter of how much force is required to hit the ball. However, thanks to its non-bouncy, non-woody center and this feature, it not only feels great to play with, but also provides great feedback and shows that there is almost no upper limit to this racket. However, the threshold of this racket is extremely high, which requires a great deal of power and physical fitness.
It seems to be a balanced racket, but this racket is not a simple balanced racket. 28 pounds 65 line elasticity is just right, weak head weight is good borrowing power, solid hitting feeling, easy to pull and hang, sharp landing point, I see the shadow of the balanced racket; unique frame design makes its swing weight is small, swing speed is fast, out of the ball is crisp, fast and powerful. Extremely hard center stick gives it excellent ability to draw the ball, often a strong draw slash can catch the opponent off guard, I saw the shadow of the speed racket, Victor’s best field; to my surprise, its offense is not bad, point kills quickly and swiftly, such as a lightning-like stroke, heavy kills strong bombardment, such as the ground bursting heavenly star smashed down. Here, I saw the shadow of the super strong offense racket not less than that of Dragon 1 and ZZ. Various advantages, amazing feel will make people addicted, the more you play, the more you play, the more spirit, not the slightest bit tired.
It’s such an amazing racket, which combines all the advantages of the racket, but it didn’t show its style in the Olympics. Pity, pity.
Years later, this racket is still exuding its charm, still playing with the new generation of rackets with a decayed body, still defending the glory that belongs to the old generation of rackets.
This racket can be used as single or double, it can be called the ancient artifact, the king of all. And I am especially in awe of it, full of admiration, even if it is just a racket I got back from the second-hand market.
Finally.
What is the price of becoming a god?
Maybe, it’s the mx80.
At the end of the day, I hope the national team can live up to the expectations, fight hard, sweat and win the crown!

Badminton Racket Victor METEOR 80N Reviews
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.
