    Next month..That's a hit or miss. Knowing them it's probably gonna be August since they're teasing it now.

    Definitely on my list. What do you reckon? Group buy?

    And since it'll be imported, I might go for a 3U.

    I'll go for the lightest 3U I can find first. Given the smaller head it might actually work out better for me than the TK9000 did in 3U.

    I'm banking on the head and shaft thinness giving a weight-straddling speed bump, to be honest.

    That idea has merit. Plus I actually must confess I really like that blue..so this is one for the collection too.

    I wonder if Winston's getting them in... he's added a lot more Victor stuff lately. Depends whether Victor HK takes em, I suppose.

    He probably will but the lately HK seems to get stuff at the same time as the rest of Asia compared to before where they got it at least a lil earlier enough to warrant the premium you'd pay to get it first.

    Well, I've already put a call in to him to reserve me a couple just in case.

    Is it me, or does it look a lot meaner in the official pics:). Not keen on those stupid shoulder-grommets, though... cribbing from Yonex isn't the way to go.

    Tbh the picture reminds me of one of the gimmicks that are introduced by the Adidas, zylon fiber if I recalled it right. It looks alike in my memory.

    Let's just wait and see what Victor can pull out from this one.

    The feel from the JS-10 is already excellent, but if this Hard Core stuff makes it even better...
