    Glad to see I'm not the only one with a BS11 that looks like it's been in a war :)

    It feels slightly head heavier than bs11 when u swing the racket. It's slightly shorter as well :) the frame is much wider than bs9/11/12.

    Ok... Had a session with the bs15, not a great reviewer but will try to describe the pros and cons. Specification Bs15 (tw coded)Weight 3uString: Vs850(25lbs) digital stringing Warm up and feeling the racket My fist hit gave me a surprised, from the base line. It was easily returning shuttle to opposite base line no matter if you are using your arm more or wrist and of course if by wrist, it was really effortless. The brave sword key point is still there cutting wind nicely and produced nice (Shiu) sound but for sure lesser compare to bs10,11 and 12. Personal point of view is because it is slightly heavier feeling from shaft to head comparing 10,11 and 12 but generally it feel lighter vs all Super Waves series and bs09. SmashThis is the best part I like, it really has the crisp sound no matter if you smash hard or medium power. To me the sweet spot was amazing and it seems like always ready to deliver the power for you. My bs11 smashes was totally forgotten after trying this! If you are a hard hitter you will fall in love with this devil bs15 especially playing at back court. The specification by victor were correct, it really deliver more power for you. I feel in terms of power, it was the best among bs family and I personally think better than sw37 3u as well. Try it out guys! SpeedBeware, this is not the best speed in bs series. I would say it's actually a little slower but not to much vs bs 10,11 and 12 but definitely faster than bs09 and sw35 and sw37 due to the weight but again don't get me wrong. It is not very heavy, just a little :) Drop & ClearDrops were very accurate and consistent sharp. I feels the drops are slightly better than 11, perhaps due to the HH difference and it feels somehow very stable. I have tried continue placing at least 10 drops and above standing on base line the all the drops were perfectly place.Clears to me was on par with other bs family maybe little effortless if you are using your wrist more.Conclusion Certainly A new weapon to try out. Who knows if you are a sw user you might love it for the power it deliver at the same time it was faster than sw series.For bs user if you can hold slightly more weight comparing bs10,11 and 12, This would be a new weapon for you.

    Next time if you're writing something long with paragraphs on BC, don't use the iPad or iPhone. Paragraphs are not recognised by the forum software. :(

    Ok... Had a session with the bs15, not a great reviewer but will try to describe the pros and cons.

    Specification
    Bs15 (tw coded)
    Weight 3u
    String: Vs850(25lbs) digital stringing

    Warm up and feeling the racket
    My fist hit gave me a surprised, from the base line. It was easily returning shuttle to opposite base line no matter if you are using your arm more or wrist and of course if by wrist, it was really effortless. The brave sword key point is still there cutting wind nicely and produced nice (Shiu) sound but for sure lesser compare to bs10,11 and 12. Personal point of view is because it is slightly heavier feeling from shaft to head comparing 10,11 and 12 but generally it feel lighter vs all Super Waves series and bs09.

    Smash
    This is the best part I like, it really has the crisp sound no matter if you smash hard or medium power. To me the sweet spot was amazing and it seems like always ready to deliver the power for you. My bs11 smashes was totally forgotten after trying this! If you are a hard hitter you will fall in love with this devil bs15 especially playing at back court. The specification by victor were correct, it really deliver more power for you. I feel in terms of power, it was the best among bs family and I personally think better than sw37 3u as well. Try it out guys!

    Speed
    Beware, this is not the best speed in bs series. I would say it's actually a little slower but not to much vs bs 10,11 and 12 but definitely faster than bs09 and sw35 and sw37 due to the weight but again don't get me wrong. It is not very heavy, just a little :)

    Drop & Clear
    Drops were very accurate and consistent sharp. I feels the drops are slightly better than 11, perhaps due to the HH difference and it feels somehow very stable. I have tried continue placing at least 10 drops and above standing on base line the all the drops were perfectly place.
    Clears to me was on par with other bs family maybe little effortless if you are using your wrist more.

    Conclusion
    Certainly A new weapon to try out. Who knows if you are a sw user you might love it for the power it deliver at the same time it was faster than sw series.
    For bs user if you can hold slightly more weight comparing bs10,11 and 12, This would be a new weapon for you.

    Thanks for reading! I hope the reviews prove useful in giving players some idea on how each racket is. I'm not a pro reviewer, just stating what the racket feels like to me :)
