I know a few SW35 owners not using their racket anymore due to it's stiffness as the owners over-estimated their skill level when purchasing the SW35, ending up having sore shoulders, elbows, wrists, etc after their session. Check out SW36 instead, the most under-rated Victor.. Superb vibration absorption too, good all-around racket. The 3U version, Medium balance buts packs good attacking power, light enough for tight defense and clears to back court with much lesser effort. I've used the Yonex Nanospeed 9000, Armotec 900 Technique before but now it's been relegated to spare racket status Never looked backed ever since.
