hm_andhika may i know your comparison with the Victor BS12? Have been using the JPX8.5 and loving the speed but lacking a bit of power (mostly due to my weak wrist and technique).. was already about to go for the BS12 (tested my friends) but was thinking if should continue supporting Mizuno's new line Thanks in advance
Since the beginning, I have been telling anyone here that JPX LTD power is better than JPX 8.5 No speed differences between them, unless we have the sixth sense hahaha. I used to own BS12OC 3U5, fast frame, but dont like the stiffness and yes, I'm not happy with my smash using BS12 Head to Head BS12 and XYST2 XYST2 is stiffer than BS12 XYST2 speed is a little bit, just a little slower than BS12 Power? XYST2 won easily Repulsion? XYST2 won easily
hmmm if xyst2 is on par with jpx ltd stiffness... then wth is mizuno doing ..... giving both cx blue and cx red medium shaft rating... it's gonna be like noodle in my hand.... jeez... and that prototype2....
I do feel LTD/XYST2 is indeed feel stiff the same stiffness like any other Yonex stiff racket The thing is LTD/XYST2 is lighter than any Yonex 3U racket
yeah i'm a little concerned about the stiffness as i found jpx ltd a tad too flexible...just a tiny bit .....as for the lighter part it's ok there's lead tape for that ...in fact if as you say xyst2 is head lighter than jpx ltd then it just might be perfect ... add a little lead tape to the head and voila .... though it would probably make the shaft more flexible aw jeez .... so hard to find the perfect thing
Thanks hm_andhika, what about in terms of swing speed/manoeuvrability? I'm more of a front-court player and prefer flat drives/interceptions. Thanks in advance.
XYST2 is our great friend for a front-court player (If you like a stiff shaft). Do not think about LTD. If XYST2 is hard to get, Technix 1.2 would be the alternative (medium flex)
I will play more session then share So far everything is great for both Hahaha we want more and moreee
Just had a session with the jpx Ltd. Love it! I recently gotten a n9ii and was wow by it swing fast n power is good but needs a little getting used to. Jpx Ltd dry swing felt even faster! This totally didn't feel like a 3u racket! Much faster compared to the 88d 3u. Will have to play more to compare power and clears!
ok finally managed to open the catalog with some help (not very techsavvy i am) ok the extra stiff but they also gonna make it head heavier (lame decision - jpx ltd is already a bit too head-heavy for me).... so i guess back to square one ....
I've had both JPX 8.5 and LTD for 5 months now. Both are good racquet's but I prefer the LTD overall. Now looking to get more Mizuno's... but JPX CX... or XYST2.0...?
I would be grateful if someone could send me in PM adresses of sites that can deliver JPX ltd to Europe, France... I spent hours in the Internet with no result...
why would even one bother to get mizuno rackets shipped to Europe? it is just impossible, so it is their loss
I feel your pain. No idea why it's especially the JPX Ltd. that is so hard to get. e78 stocks a couple of Mizuno rackets, but not the JPX series. But I know that they had at least one sample in the store a couple of months ago, so maybe it's worth writing them an e-mail to check the current status. And rumors say that a shop called E-Link is selling the JPXs and ships to Europe. Sadly, they only seem to have a Facebook page and I'm still waiting for an answer to a message sent in July.
