I don't believe that we were able to order it during the Olympics or before. Victor is known for delays, so all we can do is waiting until we can order it. Delay is a Taiwan thing...
The racket should be available in August. It will be launched worldwide for the first time and I am lead to believe the racket will be available from the date of launch. Paul www.badminton-coach.co.uk
just had my game today and held a demo JS12 from a friend of mine. The paint job is super duper nice IMO, it has this sort of ZF2 pattern on it. Unfortunately couldn't have a chance to play with it since it was strung at 30lbs, no point for me trying anyway, probably feel completely different.....
Yes. Already. Noob. Edit. I PM'd a more helpful answer. More helpfully js10 and bs12 had a baby and they named it js12.
That's pretty spot on tbh. The head shape and size are between those 2. The dimensions are pretty close to a YYS. But the frame cross section is that tad thinner. It is the JS that comes closest to BS speed however. Durability might not be as spectacular though if you push past 31 or 32lbs.
btw, it states max tension on the shaft is 30lbs, which is even higher than my TK9000 (28lbs) so thats saying something ....... the guy had it even joked, it says 30, so i put 30, if it says 36, i will put 36 lolz >.<
I saw it break at 33lbs so yeah. Not very reassuring. I thought victor put their specs on the cone ._.
i was on the cone, my bad ... it breaks at 33??? oh man, lets just hope it was just the odd one. BS12 takes 36 lbs no problem (one of the single player from Korea) , so.........
No way in hell a BS12 takes 36lbs without issue those things warp once you hit 31 already. Odds are he breaks them pretty frequently.
So if the js is a direct replacement for the bs (so far so good on the 10), and I preferred the bs10 over the bs12, I can give this one a miss. That's what I keep telling myself when I see how pretty it is anyway.
YYS is definitely where the head ends up - not "big" (K9000), but not "small" (JS10). Paul and I were chucking Kim GJ's through at 34 last month, but we've seen Ko's go at 30/32. Yes, on the back of Kim Ha Na's head...
I wouldn't call the TK9000 big tbh. They're more regular size IMO. Not when the conventional JS heads are so huge.
Hahahaaa... that is exactly the same thought that I keep repeating in my head over and over again too! But we all know what will happen sooner or later... there will come a time when the number of glowing reviews will reach a critical mass at which it will be impossible NOT to order one...
