It sure is! Even if we can afford to buy one of each Victor rackets, we still have to determine whether 3U or 4U works best of us. Then there's the issue of what string to strung them with and at what tension as different string and tension behaves differently with different rackets. The fun is not in finding that elusive "go-to" racket but the (never ending) journey getting there.

agreed 110%...get BS10 out of BS11. i used to get bs10 before bs11

never regret.

isn't BS10 similar with MX80? head heavy and stiff? since I don't really know what kind of a racket guy I am, I wanna try something different. one stiff and head heavy, the other one is all-rounder. what do you think?

yes i know, I'm always like this when it comes to buying equipment, very picky

that is so true! i don't know yet whether i should get 3U or 4U... but i'm assuming i should go with 4U since I play doubles most of the time? but will it make big difference in terms of smash power though?

**Ambushes** · 11-13-2011, 02:00 AM

Went on a shopping spree and decided to pick up the MX80 over Bravesword 10/11.
Can't wait to try it out tonight

Once you're under the spell of the carbon fiber, red, white and gold......it's all over!

Get a 3U racket - you'll get used to the weight and be quick enough, and it's much more powerful to smash with. If you should decide on the BS10 - it's very quick, even on the heavy end of the 3U range. Same goes for the MX80.

**Ambushes** · 11-13-2011, 06:21 AM

'Tis a shame.
Played at a terrible facility with my MX80 tonight. Horrible lighting so i had to react a few seconds late for every shot, and it's almost impossible to track the distance of your shots. All my shots sounded really dull, i'm guessing it's due to the facility as well.

As for the racket, it is quick, but i can't say anything about the power until i play at a better facility.

**riffsuad** · 11-13-2011, 10:39 AM

yup avoid sw35 if you're beginner. you may hate it if you can't use it, in fact this racket is the most powerful racket ever made by victor. what i can say is sw35 only become legendary story where people will only remember it but people who use it become lesser.

**vinzend** · 11-13-2011, 11:34 AM

I had been thinking that BS12 is more flexible than BS11 so far, but it's actually the other way around

yea I'm not getting SW35. either BS11 or BS12 now. it's like this :

1. MX80
2. BS11 / BS12 ? (most likely BS11 since BS12 is closest to BS09 and I'm waiting for BS09 LYD)
3. MX70 (for my doubles partner, he owns BS10 so we will have 4 different rackets and we can share depends on the situation

)

I think someone got the stiffness wrong on the site - the one printed on the shaft of the test racket was 4/5 stiff (same as BS10 in that regard). It's only an indication, though.

which one are you talking about? BS12?
I also don't know what tension I should go with. 24 / 26 / 28?
my friend told me to go with 28 but i'm scared it will be too much for me.

I know I look so embarrassing, asking so many questions. please bear with me guys.
guarantee, after I purchase these, I will know better what kind of a player I am thus less questions

**j4ckie** · 11-13-2011, 01:47 PM

Meant the BS11. The 5 point stiffness rating is a little rough, though - as I said, it has the same rating as the BS10 (normally) but is more flexible. Don't worry about asking questions - we're glad to help

**vinzend** · 11-13-2011, 01:51 PM

I have made up my mind. MX80 and BS12, both 3U strung with VS850 @26lbs
thank you guys for all the responds. you all are so helpful and friendly, it's very appreciated.

I'm looking forward to becoming a member

decided to get BS12 instead so I can tell better whether I'm a stiff-racket guy or flex-racket.
danke!

Purchase of the month, or should I say 5th anniversary gift(s) from my gf

Love the way both play, each has unique and different characteristics for different gameplay. Both are certainly very good rackets.

Now, gotta think what to buy for her then

Btw there is a typo on the Victor TW site for the BS11?

http://www.victorsport.com.tw/produc...tlziLm9sbyhQ8s (flexible shaft)

As opposed to the global site:

http://www.victorsport.com/product_d...tlziLm9sbyhQ8s (medium stiff shaft)

Anyways, can officially say I've join the club. Got a MX-70 3 weeks back but couldn't get used to it, so got myself a SW37, originally as a secondary racquet to my VT-70. Played with it first time yesterday, am loving it! At this way things go, my VT-70 will have to share play-time 50/50 already...

why don't u get SW37 instead of MX70? If u get it, u'll have almost a complete range of the newest Victor's line up..

Btw, please give a review for BS12 and MX70 ( if u buy it ) compared to MX80 ya.. i wanna know how's the performance..
