Not sure why LCW moved from VT-80 to VT-ZF against Lin Dan too - don't think he's ever beaten Lin Dan with the VT-ZF! Oh wait, maybe the reason he lost is because Lin Dan is better than him.
I just watched the match and he actually switched to the MX90 by the 2nd set. Still got thrashed though. Ahsan used the Flashboost again and smashed much more effectively than any of the Koreans - maybe the Koreans should switch to Yonex hehe.
Same here... My ex MX-JJS was slightly overweight being a 3U and the BP was also higher than the "normal" spec. On the court, I can feel my MX90 moves faster and easier to handle compared to my previous MX-JJS, especially for fast drives, defensive shots and shot corrections.
MX 90 slightly less stiff than MX JJS, easier to wield for it's speed n flex avoid 4U as u may find it too light hahaha
I didn't feel much difference in terms of shaft stiffness, it would be substantial if there's any. Having said that, one might find a big gap on the overall shot sensation. While the MX-JJS offers more "crisp and liveliness", MX90 on the other hand gives more of "hold" feeling through the frame. I assume the materials they called Graphene and Hybrid Composite made a difference.
Nice share bro You are a lucky person... able to buy the first batch of MX90 produced directly from Taiwan....
Interesting insights for me as I was struggling to define the differences. It didn't help that I hadn't got JJS alongside the MX90 to compare. I watched Kim and Kim in Super Series finals and I thought one was using BS11 which was a shock. Persoanlly I don't think they have the game to beat the Indonesian pair so it was a fair result. There is a difference in feel between MX90 and JJS and I'm convinced this is down to the material differences which then make the subtle changes on court. I do think MX90 will be popular and I hope more popular than JJS. For me Meteor series has not had great exposure in Europe and this is probably why they haven't sold as well as they should. After all they are incredibly strong and powerful rackets and deserve to sell better than they have. MX60 is a star and yet was withdrawn from Europe after only one year. Such a shame.

It's terrible when rackets don't attract the attention they should. For me, the MX60 was the star of the Meteor series, but people insist on going for the rackets the pros use or the 'high end' rackets which I'm largely convinced don't suit most players that use them. It didn't help that the MX60 was yellow, and despite gold-yellow being a positive indicator in the East, it didn't have the pazzazz of the 80 which I think is one of the best looking rackets ever made. Not that the 70 was much of a looker either - nobody has anything to say about it these days either. For me, the Meteors are only just coming to fruition. The JJS is the first to have that 'pro' feel - a similar sensation to what the Ti10 and AT900T had. It's a balanced chassis feel, with just the right balance of feedback/damping with a high level of torsional stiffness. The best part of the Meteors is that the hexagonal headshape really is very torsionally stiff, which means it already has good stability. However, the design started it's life as a badge-engineered Fleet design, so it's taken this long for Victor to stamp it's mark on it. Thankfully, it's a design clearly with plenty of legs left and I can't see why it wouldn't have a good future.
Kim Ki Jung was using a BS 12N although I do remember him using a BS 11 around 2011 when he partnered Shin Baek Cheol briefly.
Haha, true. im actually glad they went with a more subtle approach with its appearance. There's too many flashy racquets in the current market, also having once owned a z-speed has kind of turned me away from them lol.
