Got myself an MX80 on sale for $110 CAD. Factory strung at about 22lbs with some victor strings.

I have to say, the quality of this racket is simply amazing. After a few hours of play and probably 5 hard mishits, this racket is still looking brand new. At first I was worried that the stiff shaft would be a shock to me (used to flexible racket), but now im in love with the stiffness and the control/power it gives me

It is still selling at a discount at Chris shop if you are interested.

Seems like Victor has two more new models for their Meteor series.

Could you guys recommend me a racket from the Bravesword series. Im a singles player, im between intermediate and advanced. I don't smash a lot, I like to win games by countering my opponents smashes, and hitting it to the four corners.

**ah tat** · 08-10-2012, 09:37 AM

you can try bravesword 11. thatts the racket lee hyun il is using. i tink ur style is similar to his.

**Nauroa** · 08-10-2012, 10:21 AM

What BS is right for you also depends on what stiffness you are comfortable.

BS09 is medium flex
BS10 is x-stiff
BS11 is stiff (at least the old version is)

The old version BS11 is a great racket. Definitely one of my top 5 rackets, and could very well suit your style.

**j4ckie** · 08-10-2012, 03:06 PM

BS168 is actually LHI's racket, and should be close to the BS11. Maybe a bit head heavier, which shouldn't be so bad for singles...

Anyone has any idea what is the best price for BRS-10 in Malaysia (Klang Valley) and where to buy ?

I got quotes ranging from RM480 to RM560 ! What is the "fair price" in town ?

**loneboy62** · 08-23-2012, 12:21 AM

480 - 500 can get BRS-10

Hi

can somebody explain what the fundamental difference between the playstyle of the Metor X series and the Brave Sword series is,

i understand that they have different frame shape ans dome of the MX have the 80 hole design, but what im interested in is how they play,

**j4ckie** · 08-29-2012, 06:03 AM

The Meteor frame shape is closer to a standard frame than a Bravesword. As a result, the handling is somewhere in between a 'normal' racket and the quickness of the Braveswords. The plus side is that the frame is more stable, having more torsional stability and weaker vibration on off-center hits. I'm not quite sure how the others behave, as I only own the MX80, but the very high stiffness makes it transfer much of the shock, which I believe the 70 and 60 won't do so much (thus being more stable than a BS, and not transferring much of a shock on not-perfect hits).

While some have mentioned the 80 holes design plays ~1lbs tighter than a regular string pattern I have not noticed anything like that.

To make it short: the Bravesword series generally plays very quick, but requires clean hitting as they're neither the most stable nor the most powerful of rackets. A quick swing and good technique with clean hits will make them very powerful and dangerous though.
The Meteor series (based on the 80) is a tad head heavier and more stable. As a results, less quick (probably around Nanospeed/Nanoray rackets), but potentially more powerful and controlled.

ok thnaks for the reply, but not the reply i was hoping for

im using a Yonex VT7 and my reason for changing the racket is that i want something faster,

i had been looking at the BS 11 or 12 but im not the cleanest or most powerful hitter!

do you think if i go to a mid flex MX i will notice much difference in speed?
