Educated guess would be 90K. From practically experience..nothing in the new range will give you the same feel. May play similarly as a successor but it won't be the same. Just like the difference between the BS12 and JS12. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
Need a replacement for my broken BS12. Whats the speedy racket i can get from Victor currently? Also, what is the closest to BS LYD 2? Thanks
If you want to replace a BS12 then get an ARS90S. As for the LYD, there's nothing like it in general tbh. That's why I still own a few personally. I've yet to find any racket with similar properties. Squashed isometric head, long yet stiff shaft, and short handle are a very unique combination IMO. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
the 90k had an ugly paint job in my opinion thats why my choices were left to 90s, 70k and 80x. are there any close to the yonex nanoray 900?
Ah ok. Well I agree with the ugly looks but on paper it's definitely the best fit overall. The 70K would be close to the NR900 but the shaft flex isn't entirely there. The JS10 would probably be a better choice for matching the NR900. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
Do you even plan to actually buy a racket at some point or is this just some never-ending quiz that you are playing in here?
A fellow player who tried a lot of yonex rackets told me it felt close to arc 11 swing weight. Although shown as quite stiff, he thinks it actually has a fair amount of flex (more flexible than astrox 99, zf2). He also said it feels less HH and easier to swing than the 99, possibly to the ultra thin frame the BXR has. Overall, reminded him a lot of the 4u 88d with a bit more flex and head heaviness, but maintaining the same amount of speed (as opposed to the more sluggish 99) so it’d be fair to say it lies somewhere in the middle of those two as a capable singles/back court doubles racket, as other posts here have mentioned before. I’m planning to get one soon, so maybe I can chime in with my own opinion :^)

Most import question: Did they get rid of these sinking issues at adult tensions or does Victor only work with spending the costs of a 3rd racket into special grommet strips?
With my ARS90S so far yes. They seem to have worked out the sinking ****. However they're starting to cheap out on grommet QC. My 90S has sunk on the inner side at the upper shared grommets because their grommets are cut too bloody short so there's not enough material on the flare to actually protect the edge properly. I've examined the 90K in my usual shop and it has the exact same issue. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
Thats something a quality racket should handle easily. Hopefully they'll correct this (don't have high hopes though). Wish you good luck with that slightly sunken frame, they can survive for years if you're lucky!
Totally agree. But it is a thin string. I've seen it chew up softer frames really fast. But this issue I definitely attribute to stupid grommet QC. I swapped them out for the awesome T grommets the moment I found the damage. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
