Using this racket kinda feels like when I switched from the Carbonex 8 to the Isometric 800... it really expands the scope of what you can do on court. Been a Yonex user for 20 years, still am, generally... but this racket has made me wonder why I didn't look at some of the earlier Victors these past few years (other than the JJS). It scores 9.9/10 for me! (The 0.1 only for that tiny bit lacking in a 'meatier' offence.)
The resurgence of the BS12! I think it's one of the best looking rackets just because of the shade of blue and its simple design. It's an iconic racket you can see from across the gymnasium. I'm slowly moving away from headheavy rackets so this might be an option down the road, not sure how I'll feel about the medium flex, and the stiffer version might be too heavy for me since it's 2U.
To those who have purchased the blue BS12's (players batch) from mbs, can anyone make a comment on the differences between those and the regular BS12's? Spec-wise I could only see that they are 2U, v.s. the 3U and 4U options.

Depends entirely on whether yoire able to adapt to it. There are players who hit as hard with or even harder, yet others who dont get close to the same power as from a HH racket. Should you try it, give it 2 weeks or maybe even more, it can take some time to get used to the different feel and necessary swing style and timings.
So since the Jetspeed S line has phased the Brave Sword line, what model of the Jetspeed series would be equal to the Brave Sword 12L?
Until then..There's always the JS Bao. But the 8ST still plays the closest. The JS Natsir probably will too since she switched off the 12L for it.
Just bought another 4 of these babies brand new . And 1 from Ch1ko, liking the towel grip btw, I may replicate your pattern, I've tried doing it with overgrips but it feels different still; weight and grip size .
