    Initial tests:

    I tested the X2 Gold and it's a beast of beasts. The Gold makes the Pro feel like a fly swatter. The Gold is extremely stiff. How stiff? For me, stiffer than the 9000-X. Probably on par with the Cab22.

    The X2 Pro is awesome, more forgiving and not as stiff as the Gold. I...at least today, prefer the Pro over the Woven 7 and Gold.

    The X2 Blue is awesome all around. The shaft is flexbile but for an 85g racket, it generate so much power and is very mobile.

    Didn't try the others yet...

    Hey Dink,

    How does the RSL Diamond X2-Gold compare with Victor's Power wave 31 (2U) version? which one is stiffer and better in terms of a single's attacker-type of a racket?

    I never tried the PW31. The Gold is around or near Cab 22 stiff.

    Is that done with testing the rackets Dink? Or done mauling and chewing on the carbon fiber? I hear fiber is an important part of a Panda's diet :p

    I got a few samples of the X2 Gold. They are indeed absolute beast and are hard to handle (shitty skill ;) and smaller than usual G5 grip). The head heavy balance is quite extreme but I like it :D. The frame is extremely solid.
