maklike,

which BS is still part of your go go rackets? BS10 or BS11?

[Renmazuo27]

Yeah I'm kinda looking down that way Maklike. I like the thought of being the evil twin to my friend's BS LYD!

maklike,

Being between competition seasons, I'm still well in experimental mode at the moment. Last week I dedicated it to the SW310, and the week before that the BS10. After NYE I'm supposed to give the BS168 a fair shake, but the 10 and 310 are trying to lure me back again to play with them!

I think when they come out, I'd be tempted to get the BS15 and LYD together. The SW30 in 4U might be okay, but I think a lot of it will hinge on which I like the best between the SW310 and BS10 as I play with them through Jan.

Extra hard considering the SW30 is definitely the best looking 2012 release from Victor.....

[ssgg007]

I quite like the lok of the sw30 as well. but thinking of a a racket from the bs series

[Maklike Tier]

What sort of specification do you like?

[ssgg007]

for fast rackets. I prefer it slightly stiffer. and I like my rackets balanced or balanced +

[Maklike Tier]

That says to me BS10 all over. Whilst the 11 has the same BP as the 10, it's more flexible so it feels and plays head-heavier. 10 if you like stiff and even balance, 11 if you like balance+ and mid stiff.

Balanced+ and stiff you'll have to wait for the 15

[ssgg007]

or the bs lyd

[alanwong76]

what about comparison for BS11 and BS12 ?

Completely different. The 12 carries it's weight in the shaft/throat area so feels quite headlight, whereas the 11 carries it's weight in the head and feels more head-heavy. The 12 is for fast wristy players - for me it felt really nice but I just couldn't get any power out of it. From memory it felt like a BS10 but with a superlight head.

since i own arcsaber 10 3U and voltric 80 LTD 4U and thinking to buy a flex and even balance victor racket... i think i will go for BS12...maybe 4U ?

[kvn4000]

Please don't Alan, For BS pls get the 3u since u're arc10 3u user. I own arc 10 3u before, it would be too light and powerless if u take an 4u bs racket bro :-) trust me .... Hehe

[Maklike Tier]

I'd happily recommend 4U in the Superwaves series, but in Brave Sword you'd be fine with a 3U.

If you're coming off the Arc10, I'd maybe not go the BS12. You'll probably find it too headlight. I'd consider the BS10 if you can handle something a bit stiffer, or BS11 if you want something with slightly more of a head-heavy feel (but nothing like the Voltric).

Actually now that I think of it......if you have an Arc10 and a VT80......get the BS11.

[James.Foo]

can please specify about the details of victor legend? tempted to buy it

[Accordaz]

Why would you recommend 4U for the SW-series? That's what I wouldn't recommend.
I have an Arc10 and SW37 in 4U, and I'm still thinking that SW37 in 3U would have been the better choice. On the other hand, SW37 in 4U is really incredible fast and got the same or more smash power. But yeah, it's kinda hard to compare if you don't get both versions.

@2012 rackets from Victor: SW30 looks sooo boring. Almost like the Inside Wave 3500. Just black and white, no real colors.
BS15 looks pretty ugly. It's like a combination of green and orange...
Luckily MX-60 looks pretty good

[Maklike Tier]

That's why

[Accordaz]

I just imagine that the 3U performs slightly better
But maybe I should throw these thoughts away and be confident and satisfied about the SW37 I own
