    No, we don't mean tactics in the game, but technique as in the mechanics of your stroke production for each shot like clear, smash, etc.

    Don't have any dry specs for you but I do have some wet specs. Mine is a CA coded 4UG5 HX800 and I just got it recently. Weight with string and a full RKEP G11 overgrip is 92grams, if you factor in 3~4 grams for string and 6 grams for grip, I'd say it's about 82~83g dry.

    Head weight with string measures at 39g.

    Picked up one. Weird feel. Not numb, maybe opposite of numb. Difficult to get crisp shots out of it. Will take some time to get used to, coming from my JS10 which feels much more solid and faster.

    Almost seems too much feel, if that's possible? Excessive vibrations?

    But good power.

    Hollow feel probably describes it best.
    Argh, so hard to stick to it whole night when I could've easily switched back to JS10. But then it is easier to wield.

    Maybe it's a sign. Your old XP70s call to you.

    It's alright. My bag contains a JJS, 12 KRP, 12N KRP, SW37, AT800DEF, MX80 KRP, JS8PS and JS9. Might be adding a YYS on soon.

    Nah. Waiting for the eventuality when I get the KRP. Having tried all I know the KRP is the sweetspot.

    Eh not much difference tbh. Same crappy feel. 9 is very slightly more whippy than the 8PS but also more powerful.

    I'm thinking if picking up one of the latest Victors, but I like 4U moderately head heavy rackets. You guys reckon I should get a JS10 and tape the head, or do you think there are better options?
