    Sadly only available online. There aren't any stores in NY, my area at least. Only either low/high end Yonex, head, babolat, and dunlops.

    Unfortunately that is the same in the UK - we have no choice but to buy online unless your lucky enough to live near a specialist badminton store!

    Thanks - you can add an MX London to that list now as well.

    Reason is I am a retailer for VICTOR in the UK as well!

    Super jealous. I really wish the East Coast of the States promotes Badminton as much as anywhere else in the world.
    Extremely underrated here.

    Eventually I will beat your collection!

    Go for it - you can't really go wrong with a Brave Sword. I would match your normal playing style up against VICTOR's specs as best you can or it can become quite costly switching rackets (speaking from experience and empty pockets!)

    You're right. Which racket would you reccommend for me;I play mainly doublesI am usually the back playerMy net play is garbageI have a very strong and accurate smashI have been playing for a year and have been taking down local veterans who have been playing for decades. I already own a SW36 and BS168.

    I agree, BS LYD is a great racket and so is the MX London. Both have great feel and excellent power.

    I tend to find the Brave Swords to have a little bit less power in general, but I've always had difficulties to adapt to faster swing speed frames.

    I sell most of the high end Victor rackets (except Spira unfortunately) that are available in North America and shipping is about 15-20$ to New York. Drop me a PM if you decide to buy one and we'll work something out.
