    That's 5 days away, you horrible, nasty, despicable tease!

    Looking froward to it, although I am still weired out a bit that if you go to the Victor website and have a look at the sponsored players, the ones playing with Spiras are playing with the so far unseen Spira 22.

    Well I tried to get one through a friend out there who IS Victor sponsored and he said Victor have stopped making it.

    I have also just looked at the European Victor web site and I know they were selling BS10s a few months back but they are no longer listing it at all.

    Well, most of the Carlton rackets aren't sold in Asia, so I'm not surprised that any company would have certain models not available in certain countries.

    If you go to the Victor TW website and flounder around in there, if you have a look at the sponsored players profiles, many of the men are playing with BS10's so I'd hazard to suggest that it's not going anywhere.

    Hey anyone know anything about the bravesword 168/169? Are they supposed to be women's rackets?

    Depends if you think colour has anything to do with gender.

    Personally, I think the 169 with neon yellow strings and a bright blue overgrip, and you've got yourself an 80's inspired weapon!

    nope, they are just lower end models, not womens rackets, they can be used by anyone male or female.

    I would think that more females would use the BS169 because of the pretty colours but its a nice racket. I got my GF one of these and she actually prefers it over the ARC9. It could be because of other reasons though but its a nice racket for those looking for a more flexible racket.

    The color scheme is lady-esque:). Anyone can play with it but doubt there'd be enough boys compared to girls whipping those beaties;).

    Paul, do you actually do the reviews, or are they generated by robot?

    ;)

    I personally test the racquet over a period of time before writing the review. I now use a standard format. Whenever I'm testing a racuqet, I really haven't a clue what I'm going to write before I get on court.

    I'm fortunate that a retailer I'm connected to asks me to test racquets before they purchase them. So, if I feel they are poor quality and not worth the money, then they won't order the racquet.

    Hope this helps in some way!

    To your success

    Not a huge fan of the standard format. Seems a little bit formulaic and detached, but that's just me. The info is there though, so can't complain too much! Thanks for taking the time.
