    It's normal for this 2 code at old series racket. SW32 have many fans at China and also this series launch especially for China, Mainland. So if some agent from the others country asking for this racket, normally Victor will put another new country code. Like if Victor Indonesia asking this racket code should be ID CN. Singapore will be SG CN.

    All of a sudden IVe become interested in $50 Victor rackets, why ? This is beyond me, however I will say that they are suprisingly amazing! Especially for the price!

    Better make space in my bag! Even if I break one every 4 months, it still works out cheaper than YY highend and I see little difference... Oh apart from the price.:)

    Which cheaper Victor rackets are worth having? I bought a SW3150 as a 'cheaper' alternative to the SW36/7 just to try out, and HATED it. It was sluggish, heavy, didn't have the power to back up it's head-heaviness.....it sucked the big one.

    Hey 57.Christ, I just seen 3 new Victor strings last week. I'm waiting for one of my strings to be broken. I'll write some review as soon as try them.

    Not too sure with what you mean. But yes I do wait till my string broke to try a new one. It may sound amateur but I'm pretty happy with BG70 I'm currently using, it's the best of many strings I've tried. So trying a new one kinda a risk that I'm taking. And at my place restringing is $20 a pop. So can't see a point cutting a good string too early.

    Hrm. Well, it's a string similar to the BG80 and ZM67, being a 0.68mm string. The cool thing about the VS850 is it gives really nice tactile feedback.....the crap part being it loses tension quite dramatically. This can be lessened to (what I consider) a negligible amount by pre-stretching the string, at which stage it only loses 1lb at medium tensions (24-26lbs).

    Its not a perfect string by any stretch, but it's a pretty seductive one.

    Pre-stretch it, or it'll drop quite dramatically in the first week. Probably to 26lbs over 2 weeks. Pre-stretching will take away some of the repulsion initially, but you won't lose as much tension.
    I don't know how durable it is - I had it on 3 rackets, but it always lost so much tension that I took it off myself rather than playing it to the end :D
