    I don't mind yellow grips either!

    I finally got a decent selection of BG80 colours and Karakal PU super grips. No problem Sam.

    Dave, surely you haven't ditched your beloved BSLHI?

    Would love to hear your thoughts on the JS10 compared to the BSLHI.

    I just ordered a JS10 as well but won't be with me until end of the month.

    Boom! I'm in the owners club. How does 90/295 wet feel so heavy? Feels like my old BS10 when air swinging. Pretty happy at that as I only sold it for the wobbly BS head. Match in 7 hours... >:)

    Mine's on the way but hearing how people are saying this is quite head heavy is making me wonder if I have bought the wrong racquet... :(

    Sam, was the 295 with any overgrips or just strings?

    ^ That's why I switched from 4U to 5U... ;)

    And the dry bp is around 292-295 mm but somehow feels 5-8 mm more due to the compact head.

    Forgot to mention that my 5U's dry head wt of 34. 5g feels like 3-3.5g higher.

    82mm grip thickness, about stock thickness but heavier, and strung. If you don't like yours I'll trade for a 4u jjs?? Expect 88/300 bp strung + stock grip I think.

    First impression was "wow headweight" but its got a short grip. Its like MX60 static balance - its there but its not overwhelming. Shame I sold off the bs10...

    Acid test tonight, will try to report back after the match but I usually like a few sessions to really settle on a decision. Smash heavy warm up required :)

    I'm willing to bet when you get into it you won't regret the loss of the BS10 at all I pretty much am only still using the BS10 now because it's a lb lower than my JS10 and I don't want to risk breaking the string too quick because the weather is getting colder and I've already started to notch the strings after 3 weeks.

    First impression: BS10 mk2.

    Proper attempt at a review to follow or I'll just be brain-farting adjectives if I try now. The balance is spot on.

    300mm hey? Perfect for the addition of some tape to bump it north of 307 :D
