Hm the BS LYD is a little cheaper than the BS10/11 when they came out, I believe the same prize as the BS09 when it was released. Makes sense - it's LYD's next racket, so they expect big sells, and the price makes it much more attractive than, for example, a ZForce, which costs almost 25% more around here. It's probably not the highest quality carbon either, which explains the big price gap to the MX series where woven carbon is used.
Anyhow, I'm excited to get my hands on it soon - and wonder how it compares to BS09/10.

People have this idea that 2x2 twill is somehow better than rackets that don't have it, but I'm not convinced either way. It's also impossible to know whether or not it's largely just a cosmetic final layer. The Braveswords are incredibly tough rackets and considering how thin they are, in any respect.

**j4ckie** · 03-30-2012, 05:27 PM

No arguments there, but the woven carbon is more expensive and thus a higher price is justified. Although the difference is too big imop.
The woven rackets I have played with so far do indeed have better control than 'normal' rackets, but that were top models and the MX80 is incredibly stiff as well, so that might be why. The woven rackets by Fleet are said to be mediocre at best, so woven carbon is not a guarantee for a great racket....
Anyhow, the Braveswords are nice rackets. They're not super tough, but as they're very thin, that's okay - they're still way ahead of the Z-Slash

The Bravesword series is still one of my all-time faves. They could make them out of bamboo in Bangladesh for all I care.

Victor VS-650 is a good string

i do
660ti way much better in all aspect, medium soft feel, repulsion on par with bg66 if not better, a little bit slippery due to titanium coating

**paulstewart64** · 03-31-2012, 08:25 AM

Personally I think the Braveswords are some of the best racquets ever made. I loved BS10 before it was withdrawn in UK.

I am looking forward to testing BSLYD when it is available in UK again.

may i know what tension do you string it at???

**paulstewart64** · 04-02-2012, 03:02 PM

Hopefully I'll have a set of VS880 to test very soon. I thought the string would be launched in 2012 but for some reason there is no mention in the 2012 catalogue. Victor Europe do not have the string yet so this makes me wonder whether there is a problem, or is it that the Jorean players like VS850 so much they do not wish to test the VS880?

Very confusing .

Each distributor seems to be pretty independent, so it's really up to each country what they bring in. For example, the latest Korean team wear is available from Victor China, but not Victor Taiwan. I would think these items would be big sellers, so why make the decision not to sell them is frankly crazy in my mind.
