Is it normal for people in "Drill-Sergeant Troll-Face" to ask rhetorical questions?

Visor

I haven't seen anything official from Victor as sometimes Europe decides they will be withdrawn from the catalogue and then tell me they can still order them.

The retailer i am connected to has just received 6 BS09's and I suspect this will be the last batch they will get. After that they'll need to consider BS12 or LYD as a replacement.

Afaik production has already stopped and we have to make do with what the retailers/Victor have left. The BS12 is a really good substitution though, with only a minor difference in balance. The LYD is a whole other racket, and should not be bought as replacement for the 09. Much closer to the BS10 or a stiffer Arc ZS actually.

Is there a difference? The one I got is a demo racket, so it's still first gen, but the new one coming my way is from the second one....I though the 09 only got new (more durable?) paint and the 'Bravesword' on the frame was change to 'Sword'....
So far, I've only strung the second gen but from the first impression I got it seemed completely the same as the first.

good to know that victor isnt messing it up like BS11, my BS9 is pretty veteran. 1st gen i guess

Okay, shall we start having bets on Kwuns' MX90 already?

My guess is that it's red where the MX80 is white, and has a spot rating of

Heavy øoooo
Stiff oøooo

For the winner, Kwun gets Victor USA to give them a free one, yeah?

**Renmazuo27** · 04-24-2012, 04:15 AM

MX90 is this fact!?

**Maklike Tier** · 04-24-2012, 04:46 AM

Well, they have to give JJS his own signature racket, so maybe it's not the MX90 but the MXJJS?

Heh.

**SolsticeOfLight** · 04-24-2012, 04:48 AM

He's retiring, so I doubt it'd be worth the effort.

**Maklike Tier** · 04-24-2012, 04:51 AM

Maybe you haven't noticed the 'Legend' model in the Victor lineup?

**SolsticeOfLight** · 04-24-2012, 06:16 AM

Isn't he endorsing rackets as a well known coach as opposed to a retired player?
I guess it depends how you look at it.
That said, there's no guarantee that JJS will be remaining in the limelight after his retirement. Maybe when he's head coach of the international squad?
