    I now have a yonex mp 100, according to the chart it is almost as powerfull and attacking as the nano 9K and that is correct since I tried that one too.
    I want to buy a cheaper comparable racket. Does SOTX have one that is like the mp 100 or nano 9k?

    Depends on your price-range...if you want a >100 euro's there the Woven 7..and for 110euro's you've got an Woven 11..wich according to our Canadian/American Fellows hit "Bombs" :D

    Where do you see those numbers on SOTX racquets (#3, #4...)? I have a Woven 8 and the only thing I see about grips is 3 1/4...

    So far I am fairly happy with the Woven 7. The frame can stand up to major abuse in very high string tension and clashes. In fact, the frame hardly distort out of shape when a string breaks from mishitting the top iso corner.

    On the down side, it's not as head heavy and stiff as a Ti-10. Overall consistency in static balance, weight and grip size aren't as good as Ti-10s.

    I can buy a woven 7 for 75 euro and a woven 11 for 110 euro. But do they both play like the yonex mp 100?

    I don't have my 7s, let people test them but I do have my 6, which has the same paint job. It'll take a picture of it when I get back from lunch... :)

    Here's my Woven 6. It has basically the same paint job as the Woven 7. Hope this is detailed enough:

    thanks, it looks stylish! not so flashy...but not corney. I had some difficulty judging the shade of the racket with such small pictures. Pitty there are no MP-bumps...

    The paint job on the Woven 7 is nice and shiny. The racket looks good too. It's the best looking SOTX racket IMHO. But that's not saying too much. :p

    your getting my hopes up way too high:p
    I'll be expecting way too much by the time I finally get it..:D

    I think the 11a looks good as well. with the grey and orange...still, the 7 woudl be a better buy for me...130 euro's (shipping and all) for a racket I don't know and a brand I haven't even tried out yet is a bit much if you ask me...80/90 euro's is acceptable. and definatly worth a try..
