    Update: I've been testing the D600 for the last two weeks (it's the closest thing to my benchmark Woven 11) and I've very impressed with it. String: Ashaway MP at 28lbs.

    I can generate nearly the same power as my Woven 11 but yet it's more mobile (better for defense) and a bit more forgiving for off center shots. It's not that the 11 is bad at any of those things, it's just that the D600 is better.

    I'm going to do a bit more testing (try with SOTX BS-963) and if everything continues or improves, I'm going to switch over the the D600. :D

    Actually, it's night and day. The D-600 is stiffer, heavier and longer; much more suited for my style of play. A tad bit stiffer and the D-600 would be ideal. :)

    I'm supposed to have some within 4-5 weeks if the information I got from the distributor is correct, drop me an email at the store in mid august and it's supposed to be ready.

    today I managed to try the SOTX D-900 for a while. This is my first time trying a SOTX racket. The flex and feel of the racket is very different.

    Initial impressions are good, so I might be getting one in 2 weeks time. :eek:

    Will test the racket a few more times before deciding. Hopefully the shop owner won't mind too much! :D
