    Saw YYS use it a few times now including at the Denmark Open but the design really doesn't do anything for me. In fact I would almost call it ugly. Wonder how it plays though...? Any one had a go?

    not my fav colours as well but i have to say flashy green and blue are 2 of the very popular colours in badminton right now so im sure many will like it.

    Kinda remind me of the FB which is a very good looking racquet. Though not so popular since its a Fast Break lolz.

    So far Victor Jetspeed bao , and BS 12N are same spec as BS 12. But their racket head are stiffer than BS 12 blue.

    Got one to test yesterday - 3U G5 - Weighing 92g strung and original grip (no plastic). BP approx 295mm so this is 5mm more HH than my 4U JS10 and 5 g heavier.

    Looks amazing - love the colour and look forward to testing.

    [MENTION=66823]Benwilluk[/MENTION] Can you tell us something about the flex by bending and the head size/shape?

    92gms after string and gripping. That's quite heavy even for a JS 3U....

    Spec looks similar to SW37 except the slimmer shaft. I doubt they can have a frame that warranty to 30lbs yet is as fast as a normal jetspeed frame.

    From purely bending the shaft this feels more flexible than the JS10 and fairly similar to the BS12 I have.

    Head size looks to be similar to JS10.

    Ben said strung and original grip... so no overgrip, meaning the racket dry is 89g after subtracting 3g for string.

    Yes it was exactly 89g unstrung with plastic off.

    92g was strung and factory grip and no over grip.

    I have now removed factory grip - added a small amount of cushion wrap with a G262-3 over grip and it's coming out at 90g.

    Small head like the JS10? Hoping not... the Ahmad I've just ordered is the old tennis racket size:D.

    Had a chance to have a better hit with the JS YYS tonight. To play with it feels like a slightly more flexible version of the JS10 KRP I had. It is certainly powerful when you connect with a smash.

    I would say flex feels similar to the BS12 but with more weight in the head. This thing swings fast but not quite as fast as my JS10 4U.

    Will this dislodge by beloved JS10s as my goto - probably not but it certainly makes a decent XD racket for when I was at the back.
