    It wouldn't surprise me if all the 3 major brands actually did that.

    I possess one MA and KP coded yonex racket each with also same model of those normal SP version. I dun really feel much of the different. on the other hand, I have a few victors from stores. I cant imagine victor makes stiffer and heavier racket of the sw35 I am having. maybe its jus myth altogether.

    No, the KRP coded BS12s are stiffer and heavier than the stock one. Stock BP is about 288, KRP BP is 297.

    But couldn't that just be cherry picking during the production process?
    I asked Eric to ship me a BS12 with the highest BP and mine is 300mm dry.
    As for stiffness, I can only say that it feels stiffer than my TK8000.

    I understand one player might change to a totally different racquet. I just think it's odd that pretty much all the sw35 users moved to TK8000. Taking into consideration that SW35 isn't really headheavy and is stiffer than TK8000.
    As if Victor just forced them to use that racquet while the one that's supposed to promote it is still using a bs12 :p
