    Do you mind giving more details on the continuous grommets for JS10 please? I'm planning to do mine but have no idea which strips to get and where to cut them. Many thanks!

    In the new Victor Germany 2017 catalogue the Jetspeed 12 is listed as 3U. Available probably in April as far as I know.

    It stands for female. Or some word related to female starting with F.

    No guy would wanna use a racket with love decals right?

    We've already had confirmation from a Victor stringer that the F is for Fast.

    Didn't someone just post a video from her Instagram with it? Or was that somewhere else/on another forum? I felt like it might have been this topic.

    Hii guys... I am currently using a Duora 10 3u and a BS 12 3u...
    I've found the bs12 doesnt suit me...
    There isnt just enough power for me to tap in!!! Head seems to light at times atleast for me!!!
    So wud the js 12 be a better replacement with more power and decent enough speed ? Or should i be buying a Duora 10 again???
    Thanks in advance

    If you're happy with the Duora, what's stopping you getting another?

    I think you want a new racket to see if u will play better with it.... If thats the case js 12 will not let you play better. Just buy anothor dura 10... I really think dura 10 and js 12 are similar but differnt racket

    The Jetspeed head is definitely more solid than the Braveswords, however I wouldn't call it as solid as the Duora forehand side.
    A JS12 would be a good middle ground. Not as fast as BS12 and probably not as solid as a D10. Like others have said, stick with the D10, unless you thinking it's not quite fast enough...

    I've owned in 3U BS12, JS12 and D10. Immediately clicked with a JS12, but everyone is different :)

    Yes sir ...
    I was thinking i could use quite a bit more speed in my defense and net play (I like to be creative at the net)
    Duora gives me adequate power...
    Juz looking for somewhere between the duora's power and the BS 12's speed and net control !!!
    The thing is i do not want a lot of loss in power sir!!! Bs 12 was a bit too weak, for me atleast sir !!! Thanks in advance

    Personally I find the victor JS and BS a little underpowered. In return you get great manouverability and feeling. If you don't want to compromise power, look at the Thruster K 7000 ... but this doesn't quite have the same stats...

    I haven't had the chance to try out the HX series yet, so there might be a good option there too.

    Hello everyone,

    I recently purchased a JS 12 3UG5 with BG 66F at 28lbs. It's still in transit. This will be my first time I will be trying this string and also at this high tension. I currently use a Arc11 3UG4 with BG 65Ti at 24lbs. Did I leap too much with the JS12 purchase? Also when the BG 66 snaps, I might go back to BG 65 unless if there is a better durable yet strong string that I could try? I consider myself sort of an 'upper intermediate player' while using smashes 60-70% of gameplay and I play with plastic birdies 90% of the time. What are your suggestions?

    Rubbish phone camera, zf2 grommets fit much better than I'd expected.

    How can they fit that well? The ZF-II head is like a pingpong bat.

    They pretty much slot right in.

    BP only shifted 1mm too
