    I haven't used the 88D extensively so I can't comment to much about it, thought my initial impression is that it's quite different from the other 2. Perhaps you're talking about the 88S?

    I used to own a BRS12N and really enjoyed it but it broke on a clash so I deiced to buy an N7ii in hopes that it would be a suitable replacement. In short, I find it to be 'decent' replacement though it's not exactly the same.

    - N7ii is slower compared to the BRS12N but still fast.
    - N7ii is stiffer
    - I found that with the BRS12N I was much more consistent and the racket was very forgiving (given then I have my BR12N for a year and my N7ii for ~3 months)
    - I find that the N7ii is better at attacking while the BRS12N was a really good defending racket

    I generally found both rackets nice to use, and good in all events.

    I'm not entirely sure. Many sites list them appearing to have identical specs but the Victor site in Canada list it being a stiff racket compared to the medium stiffness of the normal BRS12. Heck even my BRS12N lists it as a medium flex racket on the cone.

    Buy 88d is good replacement for your bs12. I try my friend 88d yesterday, i found out the racket is absolutely beast for backcourt play and also good laa for play front.

    No. They're identical underneath the paintwork.

    That's because people are superstitious, and LYD only played with blue.
