    There are detailed info and reviews of the different rackets in individual threads in the forum. You should take a look in them for the info.
    But very short it's something like this (in my experience):

    BS09: Medium flex / little head heavy
    BS10: Stiff / Even balance (very much like your NS9900)
    BS11: Medium stiff / little head heavy
    BS12: Medium flex / little head light.

    I concur that the BS10 is vaguely the closest to the NS9900 in the Victor range. (Having owned both)

    Although if you're coming off a 2U, you might have to ask your Victor agent for the heaviest 3U he's got or you might find it a bit light.

    I'd say the BS10 is slightly head heavy, not balanced. Definitely at least as head heavy as the BS09.

    BS10 is the last one I'm missing in my "collection". Would really like a try it since I prefer pretty even balanced rackets, but I'm not sure if it's too stiff for me or not. :/

    I think Maklike will come home with BS10/11 cos he wants to preserve his smashing power for long nights drinking marathon on the weekend

    To match a 2U NS9900, it doesn't need to be quick. The quickest are BS12 and 10 though, I guess - 10 is the stiffest, and the 12 has the lowest BP. The BS10 is probably the closest thing to a 2U NS9900, but only if it's really heavy (near 2U). Or maybe the stiff Spira model? I keep mixing them up because I was never interested in them :D
    I think one of the Spira models is pretty stiff and head light, maybe that would be comparable? Try to find a thread one them ;)

    Here's a photo of what I bought!











    That's right, NOTHING! :mad::(:mad::(

    What sort of a shop opens on a Friday at 11am? What sort of shop owner - after recieving a text from me at 10am saying "Oh, didn't know you opened at 11 on Friday" replies with "I'll try my best to get there" and by 11:30 was still nowhere to be seen?

    Anyway, there's only one thing I'll hang around for 1.5hrs for, and a badminton racket aint it. :D

    Okay, so which SE Asian company that actually HAS some customer service do I do business with? Eric hasn't got the BS09 so although his service is insanely great, he's off the list for this one.

    *sigh*
