Victor Bravesword 11

I received this racket as a gift (demo racket ) few weeks ago , I HATED it at first because of the lack of power it produce and lack of feel it had. However, after a few weeks , with a new set of strings Microlegend XL @23lbs and a new grip; this racket is up there with my NS9900. The racket came alive, it is much more responsive, had better control and had sufficient power from the back of the court .....and best of all I can play with this for 2hours or more without getting a stiff shoulder unlike with the NS9900. I love the balance and the medium stiff shift.
The racket really shine when it come to net play...it is quick and had great feel. Defensively in doubles this is better than NS9900, but attacking wise I would stick with the NS9900. If you are more of a front player than I would highly recommend the BS11. However, if you are more a single player , this racket is not for you !

Weight of BS11
Sorry if any one has mentioned this but the thread is quite long and I'm sorta lazy to read but...
Has anyone compared the 3U version to the 4U version? And if possible how do these compare with a AT900T 3U.
Just to comfirm, is the grip size of G2 in Victor equivalent, more or less, to the grip size of G4 for Yonex?
Thanks in advance!

I have both BS11 and Ti10-3rd gen. I think Ti10 is stiffer.
my current racket is 4u, I love its defence but my offence is weaker than it used to. that's why I'm torn btw 3u and 4u again
NR
i have ti 10gen3 and bs 11
power 11>ti10
headheavy 11>ti10
stiff ti10>11
defence ti10>11
smash ti10=11
feel ti10=11
drive 11>ti10
IMHO

Hi everyone,
I used my BS11 last Tuesday and that was my second time using it since i bought this racket last year when it first came out. All this while I was using Wilson K-Tour, Superwaves 31, Gosen 8900 and Fly-power Aero 5900. All are head-heavy rackets with stiff shafts.
When I switched back to the BS11, I instantaneously got a "kick" when I whipped the racket in full swing
. The clear high-pitched sound generated was simply awesome. My partner realized that too and was quite shocked! This is only obvious after you used other rackets for a certain period of time for comparisons.
Although the power generated in hard smashes is not that much compared with rackets that are more head-heavy (BS11 is moderate head-heavy), but at the front of the court you can generate speed with ease. Fast-drives, taps and interceptions are its forte.
For sure I will concentrate on this gem for the time being so that I can whip my opponents, so to speak.

That's why I like the BS11 so much. Moderate head heavy, moderate stiffness, aero frame.....translates into back-court power and front court nimbleness.
I think it's a better mixed use racket than either the Arc10 or AT900T.

I wonder if Paul has had a chance to play with the BS12 or whatever it's going to be called yet?

New racquets haven't arrived in Uk yet. New BS1269 is due July along with Spira (yes, we're last as usual to get a new racquet.) I wish I could speed things up, but sadly this is all out of my control.

In Viet Nam, BS 11 is only $130.
Badminton rackets in Viet Nam are very cheap.

I think I've decided the BS11 is my 'go-to' racket, and I'll briefly explain why for those considering a BS11.
1. Slight head-heaviness.
There's some mass behind the shuttle so you're not completely dependent on head speed like you are with say something like the NS9900. Also helps it pack a punch from the backcourt. It's not so head heavy that it loses out terribly in the maneuverability stakes - still a fantastically agile racket.
2. Stiff shaft.
Got a nice combination of directional stability, and a slight amount of flex in the shaft to provide extra kick.
3. Aerodynamic.
The BS11 isn't as fast as an NS9900, but it doesn't give up much. You still get to the shuttle very quickly, to the point you forget you're actually using a head heavy racket. It beats something like the AT900T outright in this regard - faster, but with just as much punch.
If you play a mix of singles and doubles, I think the BS11 is one of the top all-rounders. Recommend anyone to give it a shot.
