    Fortius Tour frame isnt stiff. Only the shaft. LTD and PX1 still better in my opinion.

    Is it too much if I ask Mizuno to produce an enhanced LTD or PX1? :D

    Hi guys. I was about to buy a JPX Ltd, until my local distributor adviced me on getting a JPX 8.5 instead. The reason being me unable to handle heavier racquets. Have I made the right choice in going for 8.5 over the LTD? Need some opinions :)

    Dont take 8.5
    LTD is much better. You will thank me later

    Both 8.5 and LTD have the same balance point and exactly the same weight.

    But LTD performs a lot better.

    I've tried both of them and I liked the 8.5 much better.
    What works for you doesn't necessarily works for others so don't be so affirmative.

    The LTD was slightly more head heavier and stiffer
    If you can't handle head heavier rackets I should advice you to take the 8.5.

    I don't know what racket you are currently using but compared to my old MX80, it plays quite the same (less stiff than MX80 tho)

    Let see what he feels about 8.5 :D

    I dont feel LTD is stiffer and also the head isnt heavier than 8.5. People has different opinion but for most, if they dont know what to take, then LTD is the preferred choice.

    The weight for Both LTD and 8.5 are in the lowest 3U range. The racket absolutely not heavy and a real joy to play with. It may take sometimes to adapt tho.

    Hi guys. So I'm somewhat late to the party, only came across the JPX LTD the other day in a local shop. Being a long time user of HH and stiff rackets (currently a 3U ZF II), how would this racket feel?

    JPX LTD is faster, lighter than ZF2 3U
    Smash with LTD feels great

    Think im hoping on to the club SOON! Recently tried JPX 8.3 and i like how quick and manouverable it is and the power didnt really mind, for some reason was hitting a little steeper and harder? Felt like an extension of the arm. Also tried the JPX LTD, the sound of the smash and power is insane but i find it a littleee sluggish and sort of struggled to wield it at times. Maybe i should invest in 8.3?

    Hey all,

    Loving the reviews of the LTD so far. I'm currently a user of the RKEP XP70 and I'm looking to replace it with the LTD or Jetspeed 12m. Any opinions?

    I play mostly aggressive front court but still want a racket that can put down some power. Versatility with a slight slant towards an intercept style play is my main objective from a racket.

    I dont like JS12, I used to play with JS10.

    LTD weight is in the lowest 3U range. This actually helps your intercept play style at front.

    Bump on this, only here for a week. Please let me know where I can get the LTD. Had a quick look in Wong Kok and couldn't find it. Thanks in advance!
