Bravesword 10 and 11

**Babyface** · 03-09-2010, 02:43 PM

you are a star

Is there any more direct comparison you can give in comparison with the arc 10?

**Boaster** · 03-09-2010, 02:45 PM

Sorry, didn't really play much with the Arc 10, was just "testing" it from a friend hehe. Again, I only recommend the BS10 3U if you like to hit hard, sure it has all the accuracy etc, but since it is very stiff, some may not be able to fully load the shaft (not knowing your game hehe)

thanks mate. you have helped me so much.
to summarise.
the difference between the 10 and 11 bravesword is the shaft stiffness.
last question though, arc 10 and bravesword11, what difference is shaft?

**Boaster** · 03-09-2010, 03:00 PM

Hmm they are different due to the different BPs, sorry that I didn't play much with the ARc 10. The thing is, the BS11 feels pretty different due to the aero head, I can swing much faster with the BS11 but when holding you won't really noticed until you make swings. At first my timing was WAY off b/c I was swing too early. hope you know what I mean.

The reason i asked is, different brands with refer there shaft stiffness independantly to other brands. i love the arc 10 stiffness on the shaft and was curious which bravesword had the closest shaft to the arc 10. thanks regardless.

will have to make the choice based on the information you have supplied.

any chance you could measure the BP of the BS10 and BS11 please ? Thanks

**Boaster** · 03-09-2010, 03:19 PM

I can, which method do you use to measure the BP? hehe some people measure it differently, just let me know how you measure yours and I'll do the same.

Well, basically, I use a very unscientific way of giving me a rough BP for a racket, what I do, is I measure from the end of the handle, to where the racket balances evenly on each side, then get a ruler, and measure where it was balanced evenly and that gives you a rough BP.
Sorry for the complicated explanation.
The higher the number, the more head heavy the racket is

**LD rules!** · 03-09-2010, 03:27 PM

reason I am asking about the BS10 & 11 is cause I might be getting 2 soon, so need to find out which is more head heavier.

**Boaster** · 03-09-2010, 03:33 PM

Got cha, ok well the problem now lies in how much you build up your grips, all of my grips are built up with 2 or 3 wraps on top of stock.

My BP measurements are pretty much the same with both probably due to the amount of overgripping I do. They are 285-287 +/- mm, same goes for my BS08

cool, thanks for the info, I usually remove the original grip and replace with towel grip OR keep original grip and put on a thin overgrip. I estimate that without any overgrip an just with original grip, the rackets will be about 300mm. Is the BS10 stiffer than the 11 ? I think this will determine which I get

**Boaster** · 03-09-2010, 03:42 PM

Some say it will get to 300mm but that would be only if you don't have much grip build up.

As I've said, the BS10 is def stiffer than the BS11, not saying MP88 vs MP99 difference but you can tell right away the BS10 is STIFF. I also have a W7, but its not a good comparison because the W7 weighs more. The swing speed is dramatically different.

hmm.. i also wrap take original off... however, its the bp that interests me, but the shaft differences, as that seems all that seperates the two braveswords

**swamp_angel** · 03-09-2010, 04:51 PM

**Babyface** · 03-09-2010, 04:53 PM

I emailed Victor, about possible sponsorship, and they replied back saying they wouldnt mind sponsoring me, and that now i am entitled to a discount on all tor products. Which means i thought i would pict a new racket x2
