    Guys,

    Tq for the info. Perhaps I should really go and compare the price to see if it's really cheap in Taiwan compare to M'sia.

    Another question is where can i get racket bag 212 C in M'sia?

    I got a BS09 and a BS12 that I like very much. The great maneuverability and fast swing speed makes them perfect for me when playing doubles.

    For singles I do feel though, that I could use a little more power sometimes. I’m a defensive minded player with a not very impressive smash, so I use a lot of clears, drops and lifts to bring my opponent out of position so I can force him to make a mistake and capitalize on it.

    Is there a Victor racket that offers a bit more power than the BS09/BS12 without sacrificing too much of the defensive abilities they offer?
    I’ve been looking at perhaps the BS11 or MX70. Would any of those make sense?

    for more power, try SW37 its medium flex like BS9/12

    or try BS10, which i think is better than BS11 since its stiffer.

    SW35 is has more power too but its stiff

    I use the BS10 and it's a tad more powerful for me than the BS09, but that's because of the great swing speed. It's noticeably quicker than the BS09, and much stiffer, so most people will probably get more power out of the BS09. Perhaps the BS11 could be what you're looking for, but it's also quicker than the BS09.

    I can't say for sure, I think the stiffer shaft is one of the reasons. I guess it's also a tad less head heavy, at least that's what it felt like. I don't know about the weight, perhaps it's lighter as well....anyway, for me, the speed ranking is BS10>BS11>>BS12>BS09. Although the 12 and 09 are very very similar, when I had the 12 over for testing it felt a bit quicker and less head heavy.

    Pros are rarely the example to use when talking about accuracy, speed or power. There were doubles players using the AT700 and being superfast - that doesn't mean the AT700 is a quick racket. Would you stop trying to argueing every single one of my posts?

    To clarify - that is not to say the BS09 is not a speedy racket. The BS11 is just quicker and BS10 is even faster than that.
    Even though I can't say whether it's true, I've heard the BS09 is quite comparable to the Arc7, and the BS10 is somewhere close to the NS9900 regarding speed & feel.

    This sure is true. Even though I wouldn't mind becoming LYD everytime I use the BS09. :p
    I actually thought the BS11 was suppose to be more head heavy than the BS09 but that isn't the case then? :confused:

    Can't say for sure, I only had it over for testing a short time. It felt less head heavy, but that can be a combination of weight and stiffness affecting the feeling - and as far as I know Victor has just as much weight variety as Yonex, so my BS09 might be on the heavy 3U side (~88-89g) and the testing BS11 on the light side (~85-86).

    I guess the BS11 will feel a bit quicker because of the stiffer shaft and be slightly less head heavy in all cases though. To be sure, you'd have to speak to someone who owns both - I can only say that my BS10 is 5-10mm less head heavy and felt similar to the 11 (at most 5mm difference I'd guess).

    Yep, either of those would more than likely give you a bit more singles OMPH without sacrificing too much speed. I own both so can attest :)

    Recommendation for who? JJS or for you? Unless your playing styles and skills are exactly like JJS you certainly can follow his liking.
