83g sounds too light! That means without the tape and grip your BS12N would be like 75g? What sort of scale are you using?
Sorry, it was 93g ^^

Is the plastic wrap still on?Mine BS 12 3U has a sticker (from local reseller) stating weight (without strings?) is 87.2 grams and balance point is 292 mm. Is that one of the lighter 3U's then?
Single or double layer? But it does sound like a lighter piece.Yes it is covering the handle with a few stickers on it.

It should weigh about 85.8g after the wrap is off and adding a few more mm to the balance.Single layer. Haven't played with the racket yet but while swinging around living room it feels exactly like my Yonex Nanoray 900 3U. Same weight, same swingspeed. While bending BS 12 clearly is more flexible though and bends closer to the handle.
Sounds like a stringer who isn't careful with his awl. Even though the 12 chips fairly easily there is no reason it should with a properly careful stringer.Wanted start a thread in stringing technique forums but somehow felt it's the wrong place to do so.
Since it is something to do with my bs12, I will ask here and hope to get some assistance.
Would like to know, is it inevitable to have paint chips when a stringer strings my racket?
Well I'm not exactly referring to those serious case. It's just that when I take a look at my racket, I realise there are a few small polka dots, which might be due to the stringer equipments.

If you really care about cosmetics for the resale value or personal enjoyment then I would advice you avoid that stringer from now on. But then again as a professional service your racket should return in the same condition as it was received in.Guess I will just refrain myself from going to that shop to do it. My new mx jjs has a few polka dots as well. If only someone tells me it's unavoidable.![]()

Ah..that's a big let down. I would have confronted the stringer about the damage. It's juat irresponsible to cosmetically damage a perfectly good new racket..Thank you. It's just upsetting that my new racket, haven't even started playing, already "disfigured".

Don't go for a big return. Just ask for a snall compensation like having the string job free instead. Nothing more you can really ask for anyway.I doubt if something will be done to it. It will die down to whether I will want to accept his apology.
And the shop business still goes on.
I received a MX80 on saturday from a friend and it has the same dents like your JJS. The last stringer threated all blocked holes with an awl. Really annoying, but the MX series has an awful pattern to string. Not every stringer is used to it. I use on everything with more than 72 holes scrap string for the blocked holes. Even experienced and well known stringers use the awl regular for nearly everything. I would try to get a tube of highend shuttles from him and look for a different stringer.
