Since high-end models are no longer available, the entry-level models can still be great for lifting spirits. I got the HX20H at a “what do you need a bicycle for” price and wonder if it has any surprises.
Parameters: 4UG5, stripped and fully equipped with a total weight of 86g, balance point 295mm, 6.8mm shaft length 210mm, soft tuning, 10-4 o’clock grommets, diamond aerodynamic frame, string tension 25 lbs with BG80P/VBS68.
Technology-wise, it’s all familiar stuff. For those who remember the Nano 7 era, this racket uses the FRS technology from the company’s Hammer series, making it a high-tension model with a 35-pound warranty. The design is quite youthful, with a white base and blue-black stripes. As an entry-level racket, it’s quite attractive, showing that design effort went into it, more so than the Yu 1L. However, the paint quality might be lacking; it chips easily and the traditional cone cap tends to get black marks.
The feel during empty swings is nimble. Although the diamond aerodynamic frame only slightly reduces wind resistance, the 4U balanced racket doesn’t require much power, so it gives a good feeling of maneuverability with low swing weight. This friendly setup should not make beginners feel it’s too heavy to swing. The shaft is soft and can easily deform, but it’s not as uncontrolled as some of the Hammer series. Given the 7.0mm shaft is a standard for entry-level Victory rackets, there’s not much to complain about.
During warm-up, I was initially a bit uncomfortable. Recently, I’ve been using balanced rackets less, so I had trouble adjusting the force for high clears. The shaft is indeed easy to drive, but with a light head, you need to put more effort into the shot; otherwise, the trajectory might be shallow or the landing not deep enough. Considering the string bed is an older BG80P, switching to a more elastic string like VBS68 improved the situation.
For doubles, the racket is really easy to handle. For example, in mid-court flat drives, the nimble feel persists, allowing for a slightly aggressive rally despite the lack of very crisp shots. For net opportunities, as long as small movements are well executed, it performs well. Despite being an entry-level racket, it offers a performance similar to ultra-light rackets in fast-paced games.
The backcourt smash performance isn’t as impressive. The racket is quite soft, making it easy to hit smashes with minimal effort, but the speed and power are average, and there’s a noticeable energy loss. For a balanced racket, the lack of head inertia means power transfer relies more on the shaft’s elasticity. For this entry-level shaft, there’s significant room for improvement, which explains why I sometimes find entry-level head-heavy rackets like the Hammer series have better elasticity and heavier smashes. While the smashing threshold is low and the downward feel is good, the shot quality isn’t very satisfying, but this isn’t the key competitive edge for an entry-level racket. Also, increasing the string tension on the HX20H doesn’t add much value.
The classic frame design still offers relatively stable handling and adapts well. The feel for net shots is reassuring due to the holding sensation, though it still has the “mushy” feel criticized in the Nano 7. Defense and receiving smashes are quite competent.
Another entry-level racket that’s obedient and easy to handle. Overall, it feels like a younger and more high-tension version of the Nano 7. Compared to the HX7SP, it offers good value for money and is worth recommending.
Among the entry-level MX series, the MX7600 and MX7000 are the most impressive, with the former being recommended as a good option for beginners due to its user-friendly design.
However, the MX7600 does have a slightly too soft setup, which makes it less satisfying for aggressive play. Given the official specs, could the MX5600, which only differs in stiffness, be a better option?
Parameters: 3UG5, no base, used condition total weight 91.17g, balance point 307mm, shaft length 215mm, medium stiffness, eight-sided wind-breaking frame, 80-hole string bed, warranty 26 pounds, string tension 25lbs BG85.
The design of the MX5600 has a similar feel to the MX70, featuring silver-white and navy blue as the main colors. The layering is well done, with long blue sections on the sides making the racket look longer and highlighting the slender wind-breaking structure of the head. The MeteorX pattern at the 3 and 9 o’clock positions is quite distinctive. While the racket is not eye-catching, closer inspection reveals several noteworthy details.
However, upon receiving the racket, I realized my initial expectations were not met. This is currently the only entry-level MX model I’ve encountered with an 80-hole string bed, meaning it’s quite different from the entry-level MX rackets I’ve tried before. If we’re comparing, it should be compared with the MX6000, as the main difference between them is the number of string holes.
The MX5600 didn’t immediately impress with its feel. It’s fairly neutral, with a slightly higher head weight and swing speed that help generate comfortable active shots. During actual use, it performed well in high clears but needed some adaptation due to the 80-hole string bed, which is uncommon in entry-level rackets.
The 80-hole string bed on the MX5600 is reminiscent of a lower-end Bolle racket I’ve used, which also had an 80-hole string bed but suffered from a poor feel due to material issues. The MX5600 faces a similar challenge. The larger sweet spot of the 80-hole string bed should theoretically provide better performance, but in an entry-level racket, this characteristic can lead to more user discomfort.
Additionally, despite the long-awaited and beloved BG85 strings, the string condition was average and didn’t perfectly match the MX5600.
In most aspects of the racket’s performance, the MX5600 is quite similar to the MX6000. Considering the specifications, the key difference lies in the feel during power shots. The 80-hole string bed does make the racket stiffer. In terms of power, the MX5600 provides a very effective feel for hitting the ball with force, so heavy smashes are not a problem. However, in terms of energy transfer, it falls short compared to the MX7000. Even with the BG85 strings, there is a noticeable lack of explosiveness in the string bed after concentrated power smashes.
The issue still seems to be about matching the materials to the design. The 80-hole string bed is better suited to high-quality materials to reach its full potential; otherwise, it can become a drawback.
Skipping this series would be a mistake, but trying out this series hasn’t sparked much desire for updates. Many of the models from the classic blue brand are well-known, and the popularity of the MX80 in its original color is enough to sustain the acclaim for Victor’s attacking rackets among enthusiasts.
It is irresponsible to judge a professional-grade product before fully adapting to it, but as you know, my recent update frequency has been high. If the rackets I try are all hardcore products, then the few trial opportunities would be wasted on just adapting to them, which is inefficient.
Starting with the MX30L is a good choice.
Parameters: 3UG6, with a base, used condition total weight 94.9g, balance point 294mm, 7.0mm shaft, length 220mm, moderate stiffness adjustment, eight-sided wind-breaking frame, 9-3 o’clock string groove, 80-hole string bed, warranty 26-28 pounds, string tension 25-27lbs Karlin 66F.
The models with the number 3 in Victor’s racket lineup often feature blue elements, such as the HX30/300, Speed 3, and X30, which is more delicate. The light turquoise stickers enhance its appearance, and the selectively covered areas on the frame expose the carbon fiber texture, giving the racket a more layered and appealing look. Partially covered areas can provoke more instinctive attraction than being fully exposed. The frame also features silver elements, further brightening the X30. Although this racket appears to be more geared towards women based on its specifications, its excellent appearance makes it universally appealing.
In addition to the eight-sided wind-breaking frame, the frame’s material looks woven, which is likely chosen to balance swing speed and torsional rigidity. The few string holes in the racket head have a wave treatment similar to the Bright Sword series, enhancing the rebound of the string bed. The elaborate paint and coating of this frame make it quite valuable, though the sharpness of the wind-breaking design might also lead to easier wear of the paint. I genuinely wish Victor’s design department would learn from the blue brand on how to make a racket look beautiful…
Before trying it, I hoped this would be an easy-to-use racket, and indeed, after weighing it in hand, I felt its approachable nature. Although it is a 3U model, the balance point and swing weight are not high. The shaft’s static stiffness is moderate, and the swing speed is quick, producing a sharp sound in the air.
However, upon actual use, I found the X30 still requires some adaptation. The racket’s sweet spot is not very pronounced, and despite the moderate shaft stiffness, the 80-hole string bed’s driving difficulty is slightly higher. The frame’s rigidity is also relatively high, causing shorter contact time between the string bed and the shuttlecock when not exerting force, possibly leading to early shuttlecock release. Nevertheless, the large sweet spot makes it difficult to miss hits, and feedback from the ball is rich.
Spending a bit of time adapting will be beneficial. Once you get to know the MX30L’s characteristics, it feels like a girlfriend with her own ideas but also willing to progress with you. The racket’s frame stability and power transmission are outstanding, making high clears controllable and relatively easy. It can also deliver certain speed and accuracy in flat high shots, and net shots are easily executed. Overall, its performance in various long shots suggests it is well-suited for consistent play.
But that doesn’t mean it’s not aggressive. The MX30L still has two weapons: speed and power.
After a long time, I’m no longer overly picky about racket specifications and have seen a lot, but this 3U racket still leaves a deep impression regarding speed. The eight-sided wind-breaking frame’s excellent wind resistance performance, combined with its relatively low head weight, makes it suitable for use as a speed racket in doubles. Additionally, the 220mm long shaft doesn’t cause excessive flapping in flat drives, maintaining good performance in mid-court flat drives, with quick and stable ball response.
Moreover, the X30 does not lag in the rear court either. Its stable ball feel, combined with basic shaft explosiveness, ensures powerful attacks in heavy smashes. Even if one shot doesn’t finish the rally, there’s always a second or third shot to maintain pressure and continue attacking. Despite the noticeable old-fashioned wood-like feel in the shaft, the power loss during smashes is not significant.
The unsellable rackets in hand usually have a few prominent attributes: either poor condition, low brand recognition, or they are low-end. No matter how cheaply you buy them, you’ll always end up at a disadvantage.
However, overcoming a badminton obsession is not easy, and many times, just seeing something that looks appealing can lead to a purchase. This is the case with this mid-range Victor MX series racket.
Upon reflection, several mid-range models ending in 60 might be configured with the same cost-cutting approach as the MX-60.
Parameters: 3UG5, stripped, used condition total weight 89.25g, balance point 300mm, 7.2mm shaft, length 216mm, moderate to low stiffness, eight-sided wind-breaking frame, 80-hole string bed, 9-3 o’clock string groove, warranty 26-28 pounds, string tension 25-27lbs BS720.
I seem to have a weak spot for magenta, and the appearance of the MX-260 is quite appealing. Among the entire series, it’s the only racket with this pinkish hue, leading me to conclude that it might be designed for women. The white paint integrates quite a bit of silver stickers, making it look more delicate, a departure from the rugged image I associate with the MX series. However, the paint and sticker quality are still a bit concerning, especially since the seller didn’t take much care of it, resulting in noticeable damage.
Unlike the clearly low-end MX6000, the MX-260 features a genuine 80-hole string bed. Additionally, the racket head adopts an outer wave design and incorporates nanotec in its materials, making it seem more advanced than an entry-level model, stepping into the mid-range territory.
Actually, apart from the hardness of some rackets, the entire MX series does not exhibit extreme characteristics, whether in entry-level or flagship models. The MX-260 feels quite gentle to handle. Aside from the moderate swing weight and a shaft hardness at least one level lower, it doesn’t have the high-end rigidity found in MX models with special woven carbon fiber.
While this provides a user-friendly handling difficulty, it results in a noticeable reduction in feedback and stability. However, this aligns well with its intended positioning.
In practice, whether warming up with high clears or practicing net shots, the racket performs adequately. Its flexibility is also decent, and with hard strings, it performs well in front court flat drives during doubles. For players with an active net game, it offers a good net advantage.
However, it can only be said that the racket is not difficult to use. I didn’t expect it to have great elasticity, and the MX-260 is indeed unremarkable. Even within the range I can accept, it is on the lower end, making it difficult to experience the benefits of nanotec resin.
When generating power, the MX-260 exhibits a noticeable power loss, more due to the racket face. I previously thought the wave design was to improve ball rebound by leveraging the frame’s elasticity, but it seems more aimed at allowing the use of higher tension strings with lower-grade carbon fiber. The face response is sluggish, and with the shaft not being stiff enough, the ball speed suffers, reducing confidence and desire in attacking.
Additionally, the information in the equipment database is somewhat inconsistent. Although the racket does indeed come in a 3U specification, the “high rigidity carbon fiber” used does not seem to have been experienced throughout the test. If this is due to performance degradation over time, then in some cases, it might not be as suitable as previous low-end MX models.
The 2014 MX-90, as a latecomer to the 80, should have been able to be the set piece. But the MX-90’s popularity and recognition differed from the MX-80 by a cliff, and even it couldn’t escape the fate of the rest of the MX line’s high end being overshadowed by the MX-80. But unlike the fate of the 80/90, the MX-90 still has an audience, and some of the older MX series players will just like the MX-90 even more. It, as the Classic Series proper has the highest numbered capper, is likely to be a more balanced option.
Parameters: 3UG5, de-bottomed, total weight in used condition 89.7g, balance point 295mm, 7.0mm center, length 215mm, stiffness on the high side, eight-sided windbreaker frame, 80-hole string bed, 9-3 point string groove, warranty 28lbs, stringing 25-27lbs KT66F. Is there any golfer like me, looking at some of the top products of the last era, analyzing their appearance, in fact, will find that they are compared with the current new products will lack some exquisite stickers, color schemes and patterns, but just look particularly powerful, for MX-90 this also applies. The MX-90’s frame and center column have a strength and sturdiness to them that gives you a sense of security, regardless of any imperfections caused by age. The color scheme, with a white primer on the T-head and head and black or varnish on the wings of the frame and cone cover, has a kingly look.
Looking over the information, the MX90 does have a little lower labeled stiffness than the MX-80N, but the head weight is more pronounced. When the series generally existed in the case of playing the feeling of hair wood, at first I thought that the middle rod thick reason, and later thought it was 80 holes innate attributes, and then later found a new end – reinforced laminated carbon fiber, this technology is not the later strong laminated FRS well, although the back of the lower end of the lower end of the Victor part of the production and greatly improve the resistance of those models to high poundage. Although the technology was later put into the middle and low-end products of Victory and greatly improved the performance of those models in terms of high poundage resistance, it also made the racket faces of those products generally become as stale as dead faces, and I didn’t realize that the source was actually here. It’s worth mentioning that the MX-80 has a 7.2mm center bar, while the MX-90 is 7.0mm.
The difference in frame shape and weighting makes a considerable difference in the feel of the MX-90 and MX-80 in the hands. For one thing, the 90’s windbreak handling is not as sharp, and the frame thickness has been increased, resulting in a swing speed that is not as impressive as the 80’s. Secondly, the off-head-weighted configuration also makes the racquet more heavy-handed and solid. The result is a change in the performance of the stringbed, with the 90 holding the ball slightly better, which makes it friendlier to use for players whose power level is not yet very good. At the same time, the higher swingweight also makes it more comfortable to warm up and take the ball out without having to put extra effort into it, although this can be detrimental to physical exertion in confrontation.
The MX90’s mid-range driver is also different from the MX-80, with a thinner diameter for a more flexible feel, less stiff feedback, and a bit more of a mid-range deformation recovery ejection on the ball. The current MX-90’s ball control ability is therefore better, in addition to a little holding feeling added to the ball out of the moment to become more maneuverable, and the MX-70 similar to the weight of the head also it provides me with a lot of confidence in the stability of the feel of the hand. The draw has not weakened, and it still has good ball response and clear pointing. However, the higher swing weight requires more durability of the user’s small arm and finger strength, and my small arm was a bit sore after a high-intensity doubles inning.
Judging from its feel feedback, I was looking forward to its offensive performance, and it certainly lived up to the hype. Needless to say, the actual results were high, with its high ceiling having been recognized by both Gideon and Zhou Tiancheng. On heavy kills, its hitting from sound effects to feedback can bring a lot of pleasure to golfers with good power level. In this session, some differences between the 80 and 90 can be more clearly distinguished. The 90 gets a stronger downward pressure due to the higher swing weight, and the drive is correspondingly less difficult, but the higher swing weight also makes its ability to connect on the next shot less brutal than that of the MX80N.
In the end, Victor’s X stands for balanced tuning, and from the earliest supernanoX, to the meteor X, to the hypernano X to the current Harness X, and even all the products in the series with the X suffix have intentionally pulled some of the more aggressively tuned racquets toward the center of the coordinate axis. And it’s the same thing with the MX-90, except that with the pull it looks a little more like an attacking racquet compared to the MX-80. I was going to say that if I can’t get a good deal on a JJS, then that’s the end of the MX series, but then I thought about it, and the MX80B is odd enough that I’d rather just leave it here.
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.
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!
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.
