Not apples to apples, when the RX9 is 3# heavier. You would need to add about 5 fps onto the RX8. You usually can add around 1-1/2 fps for every pound gained of peak draw weight.
Look closely at the first hole through the riser by the bottom limb, they did actually change the riser they are different shapes. They had to change the riser with less reflex or shorter limbs wouldn’t have worked.
They're both rated for 342. The 9 has a 3/8 shorter brace height. There's a reason they didn't post the comparison numbers on the website for the standards. Only for the ultras, that they dropped the brace height nearly an inch.
I didn’t feel like the draw cycle was aggressive, slightly different from previous years, but 6 shots later I didn’t notice anything. The speed gains are a game changer for folks that don’t have that 30-31” draw length. At 70 lbs the RX9 Ultra produces the same speeds as my 80 lbs Ventum, just saying
Most likely not a huge difference. There's a reason they didn't put the comparison numbers on the web sight for the standards. Only the ultra that they lowered the brace height almost an inch.
@MrRazorback1975 it's all personal preference. The more you like something, the cooler you personally think it is etc... most likely the better you'll perform with it. Personally I can't stand the way the pse carbons look. I'm sure they're nice, but not my choice.
@@WolfinWolvesClothing713your comment is perfect, with all these bows getting so close to each other on specs you at least have to enjoy looking at your purchase. The exact reason I will never even try a Hoyt, personally opinion is it is the most hideous bow on the market and I couldn’t look at it every day.
Buddy need about 1.5 inch shorter DL. He said it didn’t look bad on you just the vanes touching your molars. 😅😅😅 10 fps? So 3.5 pounds is only 1fps? Jesus come on put decent info out there atleast. This is Walmart type knowledge.
@@erikbond8210 if you know, you know, which clearly you do, almost everybody Ik that has a lift, has cracked there limbs within the first month. And multiple times . I’ve never heard of someone complain about a Hoyt breaking there limbs
Good lord Hoyt is so out dated. In your bow reviews, will you measure the full draw stability?That is the Bray site at full draw.I'm wanting to know if all the bows brace hides get longer like the p s e period that's why the mock thirty was the bow of the year last year because the brace height is almost eight inches at full drop
I’ve seen the sales pitch for the Mach. The RX9 outperforms the Mach in speed and it’s dramatically better at the shorter DL’s, it also provides 1/4” adjustments which I find useful.
My 2014 Hoyt Nitrum does have a longer "brace height" at full draw, just like my PSE Fortis 33 S2 (with FDS). I think most bows do that honestly. Maybe the waaaay past parallel Lift doesn't, but I believe that would be an outlier.
Am I the only one that looks a that bow a wants to throw up? Just can’t stomach the look of it. Mathew’s will never leave for me looks feel speed sound and customer service
Why not just put the bows at the same weight…

3.1 pounds.
3lbs difference in draw weight will give you about a 5-7 fps difference. Definitely not apples to apples.

I look forward to the head to head with the PSE Mach 33!
Coming soon!
Why not just cut the rx9 down to 70 pounds? Seems to me like there’s not much of a difference at all until you get to the super short draw lengths
I’m upgrading from a Hoyt power max. I have my eyes on the AX 2.
There’s a short draw cam that goes from 23-27” that nobody is reviewing or even mentioning!!!
Yeah I’m not sure what’s up with that
I would love to see a draw cycle test between the RC 9 and the SR from bowtech

I always wonder, what feels better, a speed bow at 70#, or a more comfortable bow at 80#
@ a lot of variables, but my 80 lbs bow draws easier than the RX9. It has so much to do with which mod and where you are on that mod
The rx9 riser is smaller and it feels way lighter then the rx8 definitely have to see them in person. Limbs are shorter too.
Id like to know what the speed increase is for 27” draw from the rx8 vs rx9?

Where are you located looking new bow shop
Jacksonville NC
The 19 fps difference is between the RX8 Ultra and RX9 Ultra at 29" DL.
There isn't as much difference in the shorter models.
It's basically the same down to 28 inches 16-19 fps
Because they shortened the brace height almost an inch.
@@WolfinWolvesClothing713That’s like a 1” longer draw.
Dude….you look 10 years younger without the beard.
Please do alpha X too
LOL Yes like the guy said below me PSE Mach 30 and 33 ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL DAY and again not a big PSE fan!
I tested both side by side and didn’t come to that conclusion. Maybe you could provide more information

We always appreciate an expert checking us out and offering advice. Thanks for watching!
@ your welcome.
How are these guys so impressed when the Mathews Lift is beating these numbers with last years model?
Hoyt doesn’t crack limbs like the lift does. Just saying
Lift draws like a turd, and mathews grip sucks. The crosscentric cam had a sht draw cycle too. Anyone concerned about a
@@alexpedersonnthat’s such a tired, unhelpful statement to make 🦜

@@WolfinWolvesClothing713but still stomping on sales
Mach all day over Hoyt
Nah, tested both and the RX9 outperformed the Mach. That being said, the Mach 33 is a great bow and it will likely come down to personal preference
