Victor Brave Sword 12 (review)

There's stencil ink that doesn't attack the strings. Can be the Tennis stuff as well...although inking the logo without being sponsored is considered pretentious in these regions Different story with fun logos

 

[MENTION=108229]Elisha[/MENTION]: Thanks. I'm sure it will require a few sessions to acclimatise to it. Can't wait

 

@ visor : Thanks. My next string for sure then ...

 

know

Thanks visor. You have confirmed what I conclude all this while. I always chose white (if available) whenever i change strings. It feels livelier.

 

I just bought from china BS 12 blue CN code, will try it tomorrow.

See how it give me good feel....

 

Don't you already own one and trying to sell it off?

 

Reading through the past few threads there are KRP BS12 is selling, anyone can feed more details and perhaps can let's me know where can I buy one or two. I am really interested to buy it.

 

KRP's arent cheap. Your looking at 250$ USD each for genuine stuff. There will not be much of these KRP left around.

 

It's odd that Victor haven't cottoned on that people want to buy this racket. I have tried and been in contact with different Victor reps but, for whatever reason, they can't get one shipped over to the UK. Maybe the shipping service will implode if one is sent overseas

FYI The shop SOSA has some but are only selling domestically in Taiwan.

 

Just a quick thought. Is it worth buying the normal BS12 if it's not a true representation of the racket the pro's use. It seems that it is the racket Victor want you to think you are buying?

 

Then buy the head heaviest copy you can find that's on the heavier end of 3U to get as close to what they're describing for the KRP xD hopefully the manufacturing variation may give you a stiffer shaft than usual too?

 

^ I bought a BS12 to try once, fortunately used, and I was totally absolutely unimpressed by it. I was thinking how the hell does Ko and Lee play with such a flexy racket. Now I know... they don't.

 

Same can be said for any model any pro uses. You really think the Vt-ZF you get is the same as what LCW uses?
Same goes for the Arc11 TH and the Vt-80 PG.

 

BS-12 has the same flex as the XP-70????

 

XP70 is stiffer. But not by much.

 

Feels like similar flex to XP80.

 

XP-80! Need to try the XP-70 next thanks

 

thanks .......

 

My BS12N is not normal spec though. It has a BP of 299~300mm. But the weight is mostly at the T-Joint area.
I finally got to play singles with my XP70 and BS12 the other day and have to say that the XP70 is better and offers more power for clears. The BS12 is slightly faster and more maneuverable but a bit lacking in power.

 

lack of power at 299mm? Hum I've been putting athletic tape on the head 3-9 O'clock on my BS-12N. I felt much better when smashing.
