    I noticed the difference too before in that ebay listing. Which is what detered me from buying it :p

    There shouldn't be a difference though, so it's either a misprint or a fake....

    Not saying that the ebay listing, or either of the shops you went to were fake, but generally, there are fakes for almost all brands that are big in Asia @.@

    but it shouldn't be so different. normal bs11 is medium stiff, the ebay listing is medium flex.

    Don't think there is, unless you get a victor representative to check their database.

    If you really want a BS11, I would suggest buying from a reputable shop like bbeshop.com or mybadmintonstore.com instead of that ebay listing which may or may not be legit.

    I would think so too, there is absolutely no reason why a company would make 2 products for different regions with such vastly different specifications.
