You can stay with the string if you wanna get used to it. If you don't, then cut it.
For me it wouldn't matter that much due my low intermediate play level.

But I can't imagine that NBG98 is hard in feeling because it was my first string on Arc10. The feeling was great (especially the superb repulsion) when I remember

btw: you mean it's easier to play with BS LYD because you were used to N90 (too), but LYD is still not that head heavy like N90, right?
If you would rate the head heaviness and stiffness of these both rackets with x/10 points, what would the results look like?
I think BS LYD is still far away from MX-80's stiffness right? Also far away from the stiffness and head heaviness of VT80?

The NBG98 has a great repulsion, but it just didn't match with the BS LYD edition. I have the NBG98 on the ARC10 also, and it's my best combination for that racket.

The BS LYD isn't even as head heavy as the VT80. The N90 is even more head heavy, so they are not the same.The N90 is the most heavy feeling badminton racket I have so If I have to rate the LYD head heavyness, it would be round an 8 for both heavyness and stiffness. The BS LYD is really not that stiff. The MX80 is one of the stiffest rackets currently around. In terms of balance, the BS LYD is not that far away from the MX80. If you compare the stiffness of the BS LYD and the VT80, it's rather complicated. I would rate the stiffness about the same, but different due to the differences in shaft thickness.

what about power n defense of BS LYD compared to mx80? I used to play with mx80, but cant resist the stiffness, hurts my arms when i love to played smash, but i love the way i defense with my mx80

**Maklike Tier** · 02-23-2012, 03:02 AM

Do we know what the balance point of the LYD is? Over 300?

I think the BS LYD is the racket you're searching for.

Loved this racquet so much, I just bought another one.

There are none left for sale anymore here where I am for at least a couple of months ... Good thing I picked 2 up =]

You own two? :O Then give us a short review by yourself please

Maybe some comparison

Tuned the grip size by adding a single layer grip to it, and it was a lot better. And for the string, it snapped because of a mishit. Cannot complain, so the tuning continues. Any suggenstions about the string to use from those who love this racket?

Have you ever considered BG66Ultimax?

Yes, but because I wanted to stick close to VS850, I considered BG80 and BG66 Sharp even more!

I'm big fan of Lee Yong Dae and this racket looks very nice, design and performance wise! Can't wait for it to come in stock again, will definitely buy it

**ioxyg3n520** · 03-08-2012, 10:50 PM

Anyone who as tried this racket recently can have a review on it? =]

**Accordaz** · 03-09-2012, 01:35 AM

Anyone tried BS15 and BS LYD yet?
Can someone confirm that they're the same racket, just with different looks?

I don't see any arguments why there should be two different named rackets in the market (for Victor) if they're the same.
If they are really the same racket, a naming convention like BS 15 (LYD) would make more sense. Whatever, I still doubt they're the same racket...

**Maklike Tier** · 03-09-2012, 02:04 AM

They aren't the same racket. The 15 has an 'optimetric' head like the Carlton Vapour Trails, and the LYD has a slightly shorter head (about 4mm) but the width is the same as a regular Bravesword.
