    Which one? New, old, new-old, KRxx or KRxxP ? Hahaha!

    Can't believe you didn't get the Onigiri. Such a lemming :p

    Did you go to the Clarendon St shop?

    Bought the new KRxxLYDxxMK2xxP version. It even came with a picture of him, how generous!

    Ya got it at that shop over the weekend. Wasn't that keen on the Onigiri but I suspect I will get it in early/mid 2016 regardless.

    What did they sting you for the KRxxP? Oh wait, it was a regular 12, gotcha. ;)

    Already here - 32/33 PS withstood, so that's one hurdle cleared.

    All this murmuring about "glassy" feeling... R4X110 at 33 should show it up;).

    Actually, this is the first time in a long, long time we've used different weapons.

    Any comparison between Onigiri vs TK 9900?
    Is the speed difference big?

    I love playing with onigiri atm, basically because it is fast and has power. But if tk 9900 will be this good but a bit slower, I think I am gonna buy one :)

    First session with the Oni, and it's already striking me as a very strange configuration. It's really tall - 305 ish even with my gripping - but the head is sitting on this spindly, whippy little shaft. Not entirely unpleasant, though, and I'm taken with the looks; bit like that Gosen Gungnir.

    It's got some clout in 4U, too, and the feel and sound are fantastic - tends to ring (nicely) when I really bang one.

    305 I can handle. My current go to is about that. How compact is the head? Like the HXes?

    Guys, just so you know the paint is fragile. I got a partner who decided to poke his racquet into my side of the court for the same shuttle. Wham! 1-2 cm of the black and green is gone. Not a dot, its a landing strip that's peeled off.

    So don't go for the center shots unless you're sure you can take the heartache, or you've got a good understanding with your partner.
