    The HX800 being a successor to the MX80? Highly unlikely. The MX70/JJS/90 probably.

    Yep. If there is an MX80 sequel, it will be the HX900.

    Victor has no logic/consistency on their naming. Why did they start with hx800 not hx80 if it's a high end one?

    They always start with the number "8", except the BRS series.
    MX80, TK8000, JS8

    The logic is based on the Chinese market, whereby all of Lining prime N series are 2 digits.

    The Chinese communities (at least in online/forum) use to refer a product with its number.

    It seems that Victor avoids to use 2 digits in its prime products.
    So that there wouldn't be any confusion in referring a racket.


    IMHO :)

    Similar to the way Yonex always starts with a "7".

    I don't think they could have called in the "HX80" without confusing with the "MX80", to be honest.

    There's a saying round our way: you can't polsih a turd.

    The BS8 was a dreadful racket no matter what colour it was!

    Because glitter always helps to sell a new line.

    More encouraging is the lack of 5U, IMO:).

    Given the recent Yonex pricing structure with the zpeed and nr900 selling in the UK for £180, Victor's top racquets still represent a better value than the market leader.

    If they still make better stuff than yonex does then I'm not complaining yet. So far they haven't dropped to **** feel levels like yonex has.
