    You are mistaken. Go read up in the BS LYD thread to see some reviews, they're not the same at all.

    I like the BS design very much as it can really swing as fast as like a sword. Although its rated 4/5 for HH, personally feel that its just not HH enuf to generate the power as much n90. Added 4grams of lead tape n gonna try it later. Hope it will be another main racket of mine. (my current main racket is n90)

    nice review.
    how do you compare it with your MX60? which one is head heavier/stiffer?

    It will be my first bravesword. I tried the 12 but thought it was way too fast, and my timing was horrible. Hopefully the 15 feels better as the specs are closer to my usual liking :) I might film a couple games of me playing soon, too. In which case I'll use the 15 and probably mx60 in it.

    Sorry to tell you bro..
    All the BS series swing speed is same. because of the frame design.
    So u have to get used with the racket before u can play comfortably with it.
    MX series is slower than BS series a'bit not much actually..
    If you have a horrible timing with BS12 then for sure u can't handle BS15 timing too.

    Same thing happened when I try my first bravesword racket. The LYD. Just way too fast and smooth for my liking. Timing was so bad n hit the frame most of the time. Sold it off quick and stick to MX series haha

    disagree.

    the air resistance is the same, but not the swing speed.

    using the same BS head shape, and the racket is made of lead and weights 2 lbs, the swing speed will be really slow.

    in other words, the weight and balance matters as much as the racket shape and frame design.

    Hmms i assume that air resistance are relative with swing speed?
    Is BS15 made of lead? not carbon fibre?

    kwun is saying that yes, all of the Braveswords have the same air resistance but will still differ in swing speed because of their different balances. The BS12 is the most headlight BS, so it swings much faster than the BS15 for example which has more weight in the head.

    i am saying there are more than one factor to swing speed. mass, balance, and frame shape.

    I only tried the bs 12 for about 5 minutes, and I wasn't allowed to take the plastic grip off. I'm sure I will get used to the 15... although I do seem to prefer a beefier feeling racquet

    Good luck to you bro..
    Some people can get comfortably with the racket instantly
    For me it take 2 games to tame Z-slash and 1week to tame MX80
