    Oh...you're right! I missed it! Seems a bit expensive at almost US$200! What am I really going to notice by going from the BS12N to the 1st gen BS12? IIRC, the weight distribution is slightly different in the head? Not sure if the improvements are worth the money at this point in time...

    The BS12N is a similar price in the UK as the 1st gen ltd edition on MBS and you cant get the thinner grip sizes. God knows why as most people nowadays use thin grips.

    I hope you enjoy the blue BS12.

    I'm currently trying to convince Victor Europe to order some in blue. I could really do with players messaging me to confirm they would be interested in purchasing if we can get them in Europe. It helps my case!

    I thought the BS12 and BS12N is the same just the color is different?

    Not really in my opinion. I found the 12N a little HH compared to my old 12blue.

    Hi Paul, yes I would be most thrilled if bs12 blue is back in UK market. I have one DE code blue thst I have been using for 2 yrs and recently ordered a used TW code blue because I couldn't find a new one. I love bs12, and the blue one is just a beauty.

    Will definitely stock up if they become available again :)

    How limited is limited? Seems like BS12 could go down in history as a classic. I might be interested in getting one to complement my BS12N.

    I have bought a first generation blue Victor Brave Sword 12 from a private seller in ebay. The specs on the racket are
    HH: 4/5
    S: 5/5
    So it is probably a fake one?
