Lol... do they really expect their country's consumers to pay for their sponsorship? Guess so...Don't worry. Just look at Malaysia. The answer is the same.

It's the reality. Just look at the prices Far East are demanding now.Lol... do they really expect their country's consumers to pay for their sponsorship? Guess so...![]()
I don't how Victor KOR can get away with charging so much...
Indeed. But then again here we have LN sponsoring SBA. For reasons which will be entirely unknown to me and ones I never want to know lmao.Phew... I guess I'm fortunate that I'm in Canada, where we're not in any danger of being a badminton power house team being sponsored by any racket company...![]()

About 4 weeks ago - I had to wait for someone to bring it over in the luggage (saves taxes...). Eric had to order it directly from Victor back then since he also didn't have any 3Us on stock.When did you order? Got mine this week too and he only had 2 left, both 91g (including plastic).

Only 4U in Europe iirc.
JS12 3U reporting ready to kick some butt:Just received my 3U yesterday: 88.5 g dry.
Originally I wanted to go for a heavy 4U (tested and liked a clubmate's 4U before...) but they were out of stock in Asia at the time I placed the order (thanks Victor Europe for taking all of them...). Instead, I was hoping for a light end 3U but they indeed seem to be really hard to come by. I ordered the racket from Squash Eric - and knowing him, I am more than sure he would have found me a lighter one if possible. I have become a die hard 4U guy over the last couple of years, so let's see if I can still make that JS12 work for me. First test ride will be during next week's club night.
what was your total weight for js10?JS12 3U reporting ready to kick some butt:

Strung with LN1 @27.5 lbs. and one RKEP G10 on top of the original grip, I get the following wet specs:
Total weight: 98.1 g
Head weight: 43.1 g
Balance point: 297 mm
So in fact is has quite a fair bit more weight in the head than I have expected. For comparison, my JS10s have a head weight at just a little above 40 g, same goes for my Panda Power Titan. I'll see how the JS12 feels on court on Thursday.
With string and grip they are both at around 93 g. They are both 4U though.what was your total weight for js10?
got it! thanks!With string and grip they are both at around 93 g. They are both 4U though.

3U and 4U in Canada.
I just got my 3UG5s yesterday (all meausurements without string and no plastic wrap). They are on back order since mine came in the 2nd shipment.
1) 87.8g, 292.1mm
2) 88.2g, 300.04mm
3) 88.0g, 298.45mm
I strung the first 2 with BG-65 at 25 x 27.5 (2 piece Top Down). I strung the 3rd for myself with Gosen R4X110 at 25 x 27.5. I'll let you know what i think in comparison to MXJJS (3U) - primary, JS10 (4U), JS YYS (3U), TK9000 (3U)

If you're not big on warranty, why not get it from RKEP?
Ah I see I see. Fair enoughLocal price is about the same as RKEP, but if I purchase from overseas I also have to factor in shipping time, possible import tax, having a soft cloth bag instead of a full racket cover and also no warranty.
In Ontario, the stores to contact are Canuck badminton, j zone, JJ sport and probably Lees. In BC: yumo.ca and Noah's badminton. I know the racket is limited supply at the moment so you probably have to ask ur retailer to put an order for u. I ordered mine directly directly through victor via sponsorship as a coach.Local price is about the same as RKEP, but if I purchase from overseas I also have to factor in shipping time, possible import tax, having a soft cloth bag instead of a full racket cover and also no warranty.
