So nice!
Maybe it´s only optic, but new BS head shape seems to be more oval to me, not classic iso one...
Now I´m concerned about some practical experience with these new toys...

impressive........but i think it was too fast to release another BS series since they just launch BS09 recently. Yonex now have a very tough competition with them (Victor & Li Ning) :D

i'm more interested in the balance point of SW35. if it's above 300mm, then it should be good. Superwaves series lack the outright force for smashing, though SW31 came close.

anyone get the limited edition?
heard it comes with steel case. i just miss it for 2 days. as i reach the shop, shop owner told me there is a limited edition from Victor and i miss to view it. :(

^
Bravesword limited? yes it come with a stylish metal case, additional grip and string and certificate but that's it, nothing more :D I dont like the colour (gold like SW32) and spec/feel identical to BS08 so i choose BS08 :D For collection it's worthed but not for playing.

Wow, new models from Victor already? I can hardly keep up :)

very nice colors too. this really puts me in a bind.
Oh how i want a Brave Sword. they look so amazing.

used by the korean players during the sudirman cup:

superwaves 35 - jung jae sung

superwaves 36 - park sung hwan / hwang hye youn

explorer88 - lee kyung won

I'm more interested in the Explorer series...

anybody who have those racket pls give a review on them! and the durablility too!!!!!!!!!

what does lee yong dae and his mens doubles partner use?

they were great, kinda like kido/setiawan ;) too bad they had to be humbled by the experienced chinese pair.

Wow, Victor come up another two Brave Swords in short time.

Can't wait to see the review for both.

wow another beautiful racket, hmm ... just to make us confuse hah to pick one to use :):)
can't hardly wait for the review:P

Well, paint job & marketing strategies hv improved significantly but Hv not heard anything new on their technology

which version brave sword or super wave is usually more durable?

I find most models for both versions are durable & robust. However, I can't say the same about their paintwork though. My BS08 paint chipped/scrapped off easily due to clash :crying:. Are you breaking your racquets regularly? :confused:

Selection criteria is more towards shaft stiffness, weight of the head & balancing point. Others I feel their making are more or less the same.

Singapore new stock BS10, BS11, SW35 and SW36 expected to come in Sep 09 . Also Victor Singapore price has gone up by 10% from Jun onwards.

victor produce so much new racket in a short timing.... any reviews yet?

victor produce so much new racket in a short timing.... any reviews yet?

they are probably rolling out a lot of products to challenge Yonex/ li ning for a larger market share, snagging the middle tier racket class.however, i reserve my judgment.

so Victor's paintjob on racquets are improving?
Is BS09 durable enough?

seems that Lee Yong Dae always has his strings loosen on the BS09...

BS 09 paintwork is ok ..i am using one now ...

very curious to know the BS 168 and 169 ...
half price tag ...due to materials used or ....

yeah...I'm curious too. Are the wordings in Chinese above say about the materials, technology & etc. Can someone translate them into Eng?

Are there any recent Victor headlight racket models? Any headlight brave swords? :O

Looked at the materials for BS09 and BS08...it's the same with BS169 and 168...wonder what's different then?

What are the balance points of the 2 rackets?

What are the balance points of the 2 rackets?


i would assume the 169 is head light, while the 168 is head heavy. so balances could be 280-285 and 295-300+

cant wait to see them...

ohh BS11 i like....not sure how it's different with the SW36....
anyone know more bout Victor racquets?

opps...how do I delete this post

I also like BS168/169 or SW36 :):D

i'm still a little confused - what's high modulus graphite? How does that supposed to be an upgrade (or equal) over Yonex?

The Bravesword 10/11 are making me reconsider buying a Bravesword 09 - although they are head heavy.

high modulous graphite is not really a fancy technology. it in fact refers to the youngs modulous of the graphite used in the racket. there are plenty of threads on this subject, search it up.

you should know this with your 'gift in physics'...

I don't like the numbering of BS169. I mean...Who in the right mind would want to purcahse a "BS-169". If you pronounce "169" in Cantonese, you would understand me.:D

gift in physics was my failure of an introduction. My english teacher made red marks for it (bad grades). Cut me some slack, please? ;)

But thanks for the info. I think that it just is the name of the metal material they use for the racket. pretty standard.

So... what's so special about the bravesword then?

Yeah..tht's not very good. However, 168 will offers a better "luck" from its name :)

hahaah 168...okok~
well well...but the stiffness of 168 seems to be similar to that of bs08...and bs169 to bs09

Saw the SW35 and SW36 and it is nice !

Personally, I will go for the SW35 not only for the design, but also because it is stiffer.

teoky

where did u see SW35 and SW36 ? Singapore ?
stock coming in Aug / Sep ...preparing to get SW36

Saw it at Chris's shop but not for sale.

The Superwave 35/36 has a slimmer head profile compared to the previous Superwave.

I like the hexagonal shape of the BraveSword series. Actually something unique!

think they incorp the slim shaft techno into SW 35/36 so it will be more easier to swing ....i got hard time with my SW32/31 now

ahhh~~ i wan a SW36 hehehe~ someone in the korean team uses it

sw35 and sw 36 which one is near yonex at700? in head heavyness and stiffness?

sw35 and sw36 which 1 is more head heavy?

sw35 and sw 36 which one is near yonex at700? in head heavyness and stiffness?
SW35
sw35 and sw36 which 1 is more head heavy?
Both same only SW35 slighty stiffer

is sw35 or 36 more durable than most other victor racket?

^
I dont know, not try yet :D but i think all Victor racket is superior than Yonex (in terms of durability)

where to find the high end Victor racket in Klang Valley area? how much the price for Brave sword series?

You can go to Victor Dealer at Pandan Indah. But sory I cannot give you the exactly adress. Maybe you can ask somebody there. I know when I was read an article on newspaper about victor dealer in Malaysia a few month ago.

1.which 1 is more flex
2.which 1 is more durable?
3.which 1 vibrate more?

Guys, I've just went to my local badminton shop checking on some new arrivals. Wanted to get a 2nd racquet after my BS08. As expected bs10,bs11, sw35 & sw36 are not here in KL yet. But there are bs08 & bs09 available (previously was out of stock). I inspected on the swords & surprisingly I notice that the endcap is different from the one I bought previously. The new ones don't have the "Non-slip Endcap." At the bottome of handle, I can only found purple colour background with Victor logo in white. In addition to this, I also notice that the new models that Sealman posted have no "Non-Slip Endcap" logo on them.

Anyone bought new Victor's BS or SW recently? Is it with Non-Slip Endcap (black colour) or it's merely in purple colour like ordinary endcap?

Does this mean that Victor has stopped producing the black end cap on all new versions? I think I have seen this black cap on a super waves racket before. Is this black end cap some how better than the ordinary cap?

According to the Victor website (in Chinese), there was a cosmetic change in the butt cap color from black to a more striking blue in May this year. The Korean players switched to the 'new color' during the Sudirman Cup.

Thanks for your post Sealman. You are very resourceful. Interestingly, it is not the colour has changed but the design has changed too. In the past the "nonslip end cap" design kind a like look "bulged" & gives a more distinctive outlook. I wonder why they change it. Cost-cutting?

IMHO, this "nonslip endcap" technology has been dropped.

IMHO, this "nonslip endcap" technology has been dropped.

Is it really a badminton changing "technology" or did they just advertise the endcap as "technology?"

Not really a high tech technology la. It;s just looks cooler with the nonslip endcap. If the grip is slippery I don't really think that it will prevent it from slipping.

i also found this on my BS08 & BS09...

Nice ! I think that's the Korea Badminton Association logo ?

I have that on my Victor shirt also, the Sudirman cup edition.

i also found this on my BS08 & BS09...


Is this a KR coded racket ?
I saw such logo on the SW 35 and SW 36 which both KR coded rackets used by the koreans during the recent Singapore Open.

I have a SG coded BS09 but no such logo on it.

I think this logo is for newer batches of the Victor racquet, those produced after Victor signed up the Korean team.

Same for the Victor apparels, those in the 2009 catalog doesn't have the BKA label but those for Sudirman cup has the label.

and also other 4 of thems got this logo too...
all CN coded

Just check few other shops that are selling Victor racquets, all the new batches are bearing this logo now.

what is the difference between victor bs 09,10 and 11. head heaviness? control and durability and Maneuverability
but compare with bravesword and superwave series which 1 have a better durability

what racket is most alike super waves 32?

what is the difference between victor bs 09,10 and 11. head heaviness? control and durability and Maneuverability
but compare with bravesword and superwave series which 1 have a better durability

BS 8 - Head Heavy and Shaft is Stiffer than 9
BS 9 - Head Light and Shaft is more Flexible than 8
BS 10 - Head Light and shaft is Stiffer than 11
BS 11 - Head Heavy and shaft is more flexible than 10

as you can see bravesword series has cover most players liking.

As for durability im not that sure superwave frame is thicker than bravesword but not sure if the bravesword material is stronger superwave

In terms of paintwork durability, superwave is better than BS series. BS08's paintwork is brittle, it chips easily. The BS09 is better and more durable. Not sure about BS10/11.

anyone familiar with the old Explorer No. 5, it stopped production many years ago. reasonably priced, very decent all-round racket with excellent feel, still one of my favorites. not sure what the specs are for the racket, as it was one of my first before i learnt about balance point and stiffness, etc. hoping that someone on here would have a better idea. wondering which of the new models play similar to it?

Explorer no 5? I dun think that there were a lot of discussions on the Explorer series. Glad that wannaliquorbox brought this up. Is Explorer any good? How's that being rated against the BS series?

no reply. i guess most victor users on here are also on the BS wagon.

BS is just an awesome name, that's why :]

I owned 3 x SW32 all 3U and 2 x SW31 all 3U and 1 x BS09 3U too.

Personally i find i can generate more power from SW compared to BS09 ...I don know about BS08 since i have not tried before.

and also other 4 of thems got this logo too...
all CN coded


Just came back from Honly in JB
I saw their new batch of BS all with this logo ...
Surprisingly ..all these rackets are CH = China coded rather than MY= Malaysia ...
(I owned a MY coded victor , rest are SG coded)

I owned 3 x SW32 all 3U and 2 x SW31 all 3U and 1 x BS09 3U too.

Personally i find i can generate more power from SW compared to BS09 ...I don know about BS08 since i have not tried before.

I find my SW33P more powerful than BS08. Both are 4U.

why super wave 36 and 35 does not have superwave technology inside?

Hi, seems like the feedback is that SW series is more poweful than BS series, but is SW series fast swing racket too ? If compared to BS series, which is faster? :confused:

how head heavy is sw36 when rated out of 10?

Hi all, heard that BS10 and BS11 were available at Malaysia now. Anyone saw them personally at the shop?
Not sure about SW35 and 36 though, anyone know the availability and price? Thx.
