I used to play with the incredible Yasaka Dynamix with 17 layers, and it was amazing. Rackets like that break easily if you have a bad day or a bad batch.

But once it broke one week before a tournament, and at the two vendors I checked, they were out! So one guy at one of the shops suggested X1 because they are very similar.

They are not!!! Not the least, except maybe for the design. It had no feeling, no control, uneven shots, and so on. The only thing that was similar was the speed. Don’t buy. Buy Dynamix 17.

This blade exhibits a decidedly offensive character, boasting exceptional speed that rivals even high-priced blades. While its control may not be optimal, it suits players with a well-developed stroke. The blade’s consistency is highly commendable, making it an excellent choice in my opinion.

However, some individuals may find the noise it produces to be irritating, though this aspect does not personally affect me.
