    Hmm. I've read some good reviews about this racket. I think that's the one reviewed by visor on the front page of this forum.

    they're really cheap here. For 2-8 USD (depends on their quality) you can get one of those. Love em when i was a kid. IMHO, it only suitable for child's play. It cant handle high tension and it vibrate too much to my liking.

    Gungnir Beta IIRC

    I having thoughts of getting a second one as a back up....but also wondering if I should try the Alpha and Epsilon...too bad my usual badminton buddies did not use any of this Gungnir version at all...

    How much did you buy again the jpx ltd? I can understand having 2 of the same racket but 3 or more I think is quite overkill:p

    So, which among these would you say is the best?

    The same price bro.

    Owning 3 pcs of the same racket is probably too much but @Ch1k0 would disagree hahaha he has more than 3 :D

    I say JPX LTD is the best for me. That's why I have 3 :rolleyes:

    6 BS12s in collection alone. 3 in play rotation. Overkill is underrated.

    This is arguably long overdue but alas, here is my favorite collection of my Voltric Family.
    Pictured Left to Right as follows: Z Force 2 Lee Chong Wei edition, DG10, DG10 and yet another DG10 lol :D

    Another half a dozen or so I guess, one a year? Stockpile em incase they get discontinued lol :D .
    They seem to lose stiffness after a year's worth of hitting and stringing at 31-34lbs.
    I find them a close and slightly better replacement than my ZF2 due to having a thicker shaft.

    Hi could you give a quick comparison of the JS12F N9ii and N7ii. My hands have been itching to get one of these 3.

    How they swing? Headweight. Which do you prefer play with more out of the 3. Which would you say would suit a player who likes to block and drive but still have the option of a good smash.

    Thanks!

    Swing in terms of speed will be - JS 12F> N7II>9NII
    Headweight-JS 12F< N7II<9NII
    I guess N7II will suit such player IMO.
    I prefer to use N7II as it suit me well and if I'm against a team that is smashing fanatic...I Will pull up my JS12F ... this is purely how I feel and others may differ

    Superb collection you have there! Am wondering how does N7ii compare to JPX LTD? i have an N7ii now, was considering to buy a 2nd N7ii, then came across JPX LTD...specs seemed pretty similar, with ~87g, 296mm BP, stiff shaft.
