    I find mx90 and 900p headweight totally different. To me, mx90 feels more like arc 10, but more punchy and less hold. Would you be able to compare the 800p to say tk9000 in terms of headheaviness?

    Nah. No way in hell the MX90 is head lighter than the 800P. That I know for sure. Those things regularly come in at around 300mm bp. The 800P is only around 295mm avg. The 9000 alone feels noticeably head heavier as well. This is due to the box frame which is both thicker and larger so there more mass overall on top compared to the 800P. In terms of simply power alone there's no fight.

    I agree. I think the only case to get this impression is when you compare MX90(4U) and TK9000(4U) with HX900P(3U).

    to me the 3u 800p feels like my 3u bs LHI with two powerizer on each side at 10 & 2 but stiffer. i still feel the quicker defence on reactive shots on the BS but i have to be more alert with the 800p.

    for anyone that cares... send my 800p back to Malaysia and still waiting for a response on warranty. in the meantime i bought another one from sydney to use. totally awesome racquet :D

    tk9000 is very powerful but slow compared to 800p. if u had a 4u tk9000 maybe a different story

    I have used 4U TK9000 and HX800 power. It is wrong to say one racket is better than another because this is subjective and down to personal likes and dislikes. What i consider to be a great racket, somebody else may describe it as awful. They are both pretty fast rackets, stiff and head heavy. But the feel is different and from memory TK9000 has a slightly thinner head, which perhaps makes it a touch quicker.

    I don't have TK9000 anymore and therefore am unable to do a detailed comparison. If I did, it would still be my personal opinion.

    i got a duora 10 and 800p. duora 10 is a totally different racquet. in my use, duora seems to be very heavy and hard to manoeuvre
    power is good when the timing is right. quite a good racquet however my playing style is more suited to the 800p

    i play quite aggressively but need a fast moving racquet on defence. I was originally using alot of bravesword series (10, 12, LHI) but hypernano was a little slower then these but duora 10 is slower yet again.

    So does the 800P also feel less heavy than the D10, or just less slow?

    My opinion is 800p faster than duora, but duora more power than 800p, for speed and power i prefer tk9000, thats why i compare tk9000 with 800p, btw 800p no stock in market here in indonesia, very2 rare, i havent seen the racket, hope soon i play with it, and js12 of course:)

    Finally wrote my review of HX800 Power. Hopefully it will be live on my website later today/tomorrow.

    Now available on direct as well. Price has gone down to just over £160 but they're 4U versions...

    Looks like Direct have only taken the P - probably a good move, but I was expecting maybe a 2/1 split with the C. Taking the 4U strikes me as odd, though, with the black 800 being 3U.
