Maklike Tier, you are the expert when comes to the BS11. What do you think?

marketing purposes bro

i prefer this way too since the design is one of the most awesome among victor.

Hmm... Does anyone know how this racket will feel compared to the BS09? I'm interested in making a change...

Yep, would be interesting.

And I thought BS09 was a balanced (or headlight) racket with a medium stiffness while the new LYD is a bit headheavy and a bit stiff?!

As I postulated earlier, I don't think LYD has been using an off-the-shelf BS09 for quite some time, if at all.

**Accordaz** · 01-09-2012, 06:05 AM

Okay. Interesting... But this will be probably never be confirmed by Victor :P

That means: We also don't know if LYD uses BS LYD or not

**Renmazuo27** · 01-09-2012, 06:26 AM

Looked like he was using it in the Korean Open Finals to me...

**Accordaz** · 01-09-2012, 06:31 AM

Yeah, but there's a further question: Who prove it that it is really a BS LYD?
It could be another BS with the LYD paintjob >_<"

But I have to say, the more I see the racket the more it I like it :P Could be the white brother (or rival) of Arcsaber10 PG ^^

hi, just letting eveyone know that you can pre-order it here: http://www.badmintoncentral.com/foru...ture-Racket%29

It is now available in Europe, according to the offer of a german online shop.

**cartman** · 01-10-2012, 08:25 AM

Which shop?

**Mendell** · 01-10-2012, 04:05 PM

according to victor's website it has the same specs as the BS15

**Ryouta** · 01-12-2012, 02:41 AM

Perhaps LYD made such a drastic change in his preference of Racket specs(shaft stiffness, balance,etc) because he has to take on more rear-court responsibilities as JJS has his shoulder injury.

Personally, I noticed JJS is spending a lot more time around the net in the 2012 Victor Korea Open, while LYD was doing a lot more smashes from the rear.

Pity, he still can't match up with JJS in terms of smash efficiency

Food for thought.

Doubtful. I personally don't think he's ever played with an off-the-shelf BS09, considering it appears any KRP can spec any racket however they like. People's games progress and change, and the Pros are even more adaptable than us mortals - notice LCW using a new racket, LD changing rackets about 3 times in one tournament, and even FHF changing to a C7 midway through the KO SS final.

It makes sense for me to see someone like LYD have a progression in racket style and stiffness as he gets older and this game changes and he gets stronger. I don't think he would base the specification on a signature racket based on his partners injury.
