I can't see the picture..But I'm afraid it's gonna be another new sotx Nah, It's all good..but our shop is not quite stable enough to dive into all the new stuff at once... as long as they don't discontinue the woven 8 and woven 9...because if they do Soxt will be out of buisness
Can't get the picture to come up, probably work internet restrictions :-( http://www.sotxsports.com/cn/oproduct.asp?id=877
here, this might help http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=153 Maybe we'll see Wang Chen actually use one of these rackets...would be a ncie change from the Cab20.. Maybe LD will
woah, the woven 11 is a beast, unfortunately one that i cannot tame at the moment! i reckon that shaft is too stiff and thick for me, hmmmm, it worked pretty well in the first few games, but towards the end (3 hour session), i had to revert back to my ti-10 for the shuttle to even clear the net. it's a physically demanding racquet is what it is. solid though, that's for sure.
Is it that much harder than the ti-10? or si your ti-10 a 3U? I'd say give it some time, but I'm just a fanboy
played with the D-900 for a few days now.. it feelts great! Light and flexible, just what I was looking for. pretty good for everything, looking forward to a great season with this racket :]
yeah, my ti-10s are 3Us. i think i just need to get used to it a bit, but switching from a 680 to a 675 racquet was surprisingly quite difficult to adjust to. maybe it's just age catching up with me .... back when i was 17 ... blah blah blah .....
A head heavy 680m long "beast" like the W11, really does suck the juice out of the fore-arm muscles if constant smashing for a longer duration .. But of course, the stronger you get... /Twobeer
yup, agreed, i need to give it a couple of months at least. will use it as my warm up racquet for the first few matches, then when my arm is tired, switch back to the ti-10. it really does feel like a major burden has been lifted after shifting. only problem is, the difference in length puts me off a bit at first. i didn't use to think that 5mm would make that much of a difference.
I'm looking for a new SOTX racket. I've previously owned the woven 8 and 7. I liked the 7 more because it was powerful. I play doubles and am the attacker. I'm looking for a pretty stiff and head heavy SOTX. Any recommendations?
if you like the w7, I'd recommend the 7i for something stiffer, but slightly lighter... It's in the same price-range as well... so for something different, I liked the woven 10i...Extra stiff (definatly) 680mm, 87grams and even balanced (maybe ever so slightly headheavy).
Don't think I would like the 7i, because it is lighter. Woven 10i may be okay. Any recommendations from Diamond Fighter or Conmax Power?
I liked the D700 more, but that's me... same weight, perhaps slightly lighter (marginal), but stiffer..to me, got more whip from it. Not everybody will, I guess, but it's how it felt to me...
Just out of curiosity jerby, how many sotx rackets have you tried before and what is your current main racket?
