    Fresh off the oven.
    Thoughts?

    What a step backwards. Using the 2+3 76 hole pattern..

    Why? I break on a 2+4 less strings, but a 2+3 is more comfy to clamp at the top. And shouldn't be no sinking the highest priority? I can live with more broken strings. Auraspeed is a retarted name.

    I agree with all your points. I just like the feel of 2+4 better. There's something very positive about it. Plus less exposure to the top of the strings to worry about.

    P.S. My AIDS spelling from using a phone..

    I'm curious about the fact when they release them? 2019? Victor was always a company who gained attention and excitement and then every interests died due waiting. It's also just a piece of cardboard. No prototype or racket on the picture, so I calculated a waiting time for 9months to one year.

    Sounds and looks like the most obvious Astrox-ripoff possible. And the fact that they don't even show a prototype frame screams how desperate they are to show just anything similar to the AX88 S/D - even it will take another 12 months until the official release.

    Well they don't have my money anymore anyway. I'm really not bothered by this **** at all tbh. The last thing I'm buying from them is literally the JS12M and TK F.

    If I remember correctly Victor did the same with Brave Sword 12 (N&L) or latest with the Jetspeed 12 (S&F). I don't see the D&S reference here. It's vice versa, but honestly Yonex did a different concept with the D&S. If you grap any racket higher you don't need this less 5mm for more momentum for the S. While I see a point to design more forgiving rackets for female players.

    Interesting. I thought also about the TK-F and JS12M. I have problems with getting warm with the whole Li-Ning range and very 2nd Yonex I get in my hands has a broken handle or make strange cracking noises there, so it will be gone in a while.

    The TK F is a gem. The huge ass sweetspot will be a turn off for some however.

    I have strung a couple of Astecs. The heads are bigger than any toilet seat. :D I had a few years with compact heads and was the opinion that no normal head can ever be great again. Since I quit hunting for high pings and great sound, I feel normal heads much more forgiving for my game. And since I use N7II I don't have any doubts to increase my tension, because no sinking issues will hold me back. :)
