    Lol if only my wallet say yes. Otherwise I Probly won't be buying any new racket any soon.

    On spec the HX800 is more head heavy but less stiff than the JS10, which is why I'm holding off to see what the initial reviews on it are. I really loved the 4U TK9000 before it snapped on me so I'd be interested in a compact head version of that rather than a revamped BS10.

    That's good to hear, thanks for the update.

    You say it is as fast as the BSLHI, but would you say is it a lot head heavier than the BSLHI?

    Mine should arrive this weekend... I'm just impatient! lol

    The JS10 is almost as quick as BSLHI but not quite, it is more head heavy but doesn't feel slow at all.

    Yep, it's a strange beast the JS10... slightly head heavy and quite powerful, but yet unusually fast and maneuverable. Don't know whether to attribute to the compact head frame, the shaft or a combination of both.

    I'm not sure either but it works really well! My shoulder didn't seem to mind it either and it's usually quite particular about head heavy rackets!

    Both. This racket design and construction is synergy.

    Which is why we need to protect it's aesthetics, with violence if required.

    The professionals hsve already screwed it up on global TV. Any worse would warrant violence though

    I do like the matte black on the racket! Completely different to my other rackets.

    My only complaint of the matte black... is that without a layer of gloss, even simply picking up birds from the mat floor will show up as scuff marks. ... :(

    Problem is they're not even accumulated in the midst of the battle... just from picking up birds... :(

    You need to improve your technique for scooping up shuttles from the floor. :D I don't have any scuff marks on my JS10 or the BS10 that I was using before I made the change. The gold plating on the BS10 was notorious for coming off if you even breathed on it a bit heavily. Too bad about the massive chips caused by clashes though. :eek:

    When you're tired from hard games I highly doubt you will care that much about scooping perfectly anymore

    I have the exact opposite feeling about BS 12 smash compared to head heavier or even balanced rackets. Can't get any power to my smashes with BS 12. What string and tension are you using?
