Victor's promotional teaser for their new speed series to succeed Jetspeed
It says 2018, so looks like it's coming out sooner than we speculated
Refer to this thread: Victor AuraSpeed 70K/F (New series) for more details

The mysterious racquet Goh V Shem was using during the Thomas Cup was probably a prototype of this

 

Unless they can make it faster than the BS line. I'm not really interested lmao.

I'm always interested in Victor's fast frames! Would be good to know when the first racket is due out and specs too.
I'm still enjoying my js12 and js10 rackets which I think I will use for the next season.

 

Is that even possible?

 

A compact head BS frame with slimmer shaft would do the trick.

 

We never imagined a compact head before hahahaha. Sky's the limit yoooo.

Finally! Possible replacement for BS12!

 

Yes, indeed, it is difficult to say how head heavy 33P is. Not that heavy, based on my feeling. It is difficult to find the exact specs, though. Some info suggests that thw balance point would be 280mm which in turn would suggest that 33P is axctually head light (?) I guess a safe bet is to say that 33P is quite even balanced and little to the stiff side (?)

 

Good point! On the other hand I was thinking if there would be a more recent and similar racket available. Ordering from Europe would be easier since I live in Finland.

 

Well I'd say that frankly the closest thing right now would probably be a HX500P tbh.

What about HX900?

 

Stiffer, smaller head, smaller sweetspot, a bit more even balanced.

Does it have to be Victor? Or are you open to trying other brands..?

 

From what I've been told, we won't see Auraspeed until 2019. I've nothing more to tell you.

Doesn't have to be Victor. I have a Karakal racket but it is too light. I liked YonexAT900. I would like to get two identical or nearly identical rackets now because recently I have had the unpleasant experience of breaking a string / racket in competitions. Changing to a spare racket during the competition has led to catastrophic results...

I am still thinking of Bravesword12, HX500 seems also to be a bit hard to get. Short is the lifespan of rackets!

 

Bs12 is not even close to the AT900, so it'd be an entirely new racket for you. Lots of adjustments necessary, timing, swing, everything's different. I'm not familiar with the current Victor models so I can't help you there at all, personally I'd advise you to try out the Li Ning N99 (should be a bit lighter, but reasonably close to the AT900), or if you want something lighter, N90iv and N9ii are options as well. The N9ii is not that much heavier than the Bs12 though, I think.
The Yonex lineup is just confusing to me at this point, apparently the Astro line is all over the place in terms of balance/head weight so I really don't know what to go for there. Babolat has some serious durability issues with the latest generation, I've heard.

 

Thanks for the comments! The N99 seems to be a bit hard to get as well, or maybe I am looking from the wrong places. Do you have an opinion how the Li Ning N7 would compare?

 

care to share some insights about the HX500P?

 

Don't really have any. Going off memory of dry swinging years ago. It's pretty much the closest in the line up to the SW33P in spec. Next best might actually be a HX800LTD C.
