    Seems like Victor is about to release a new racket.
    Koo Sung Hyun and Lee Hyun Il already had a try in the Thomas Cup...

    isn't the bs12 a blue racket?!

    IMO it's a Meteor, since the main strings keep in the same "form" and not like the BS12 closen up at the side.

    The BS12 is the other racket in the second picture, held by Yoo.

    It is about the red/black one, kwun's just trying to derail our rumors while secretly knowing what the new racket is, I imagine. ;)

    Not with the old string pattern... BS or SW. I went for SW because Ko uses/last used the SW37

    Plus, they already have the MX London and MX JJS. A third limited edition Meteor for OG would be serious overkill.

    Since when has that stopped anybody? Yonex has three SE rackets so far this year:D.

    I think they'd be daft not to chuck out an OG Bravesword.

    Yes KO used SW37, SW35 but he also used the BS12.

    Look at LHI's racket... It is definetly NOT the old stringing pattern of the BS or SW... As I already said, the main strings are all parallel...

    True. At least Victor is better about making their limited editions into different rackets (Legend, BS LYD) instead of just repainting their existing models like Yonex, so a third MX wouldn't be as bad.

    I think an OG Bravesword would be better though. More diversity. But it'd only add to my already large list of Victors that I want to get... :eek:
