I want I may simply discover the proper alternative. For the document, I’m a tough hitter who owned BS 10 and am struggling to discover a alternative. In an ideal world, they’d make a brand new BS10 that’s half a notch much less stiff (that might be my good racket), however I do not anticipate Victor to make a racket that area of interest, so I am hoping for a barely stiffer BS 12 that might nonetheless be consumer pleasant sufficient for good gross sales.
And let’s be sincere, the BS 12 outdwarfs MX 80 and BS 11 in gross sales, a particular version of BS 12 will certainly promote higher than these two. To not point out the MX80N and the BS11R took away all the nice issues of their predecessors, the arduous really feel within the case of MX80 and the sword body of the BS11. I am hoping for a BS 12 Professional that does not attempt to add an excessive amount of “new stuff” just like the MX80N that strips away its roots.
In actual fact, I attempted to look elsewhere out there for a BS substitute on this thread
https://www.badmintoncentral.com/fo…victor-rackets-with-braveswords-frame.177965/
The issues had been
Fleet (Felet) – solely available in sure components of Asia
Mizuno – identical as above. Additionally rumors of dampened really feel
Forza – Availability apart, the dearth of recognition in lots of components of the world makes it arduous to search out stringers who’re accustomed to the Forza racket’s distinctive stringing sample, potential exposing my racket from dangerous string jobs and due to this fact body injury.
APACS – the one racket that they’ve that has the sword profile that’s out there in my area (AVP?) is simply as versatile as BS 12
Different manufacturers – availability is even scarcer
Actually, solely the bravesword has that mixture of undampened really feel on contact and aerodynamic really feel when swinging (feeling of slicing air). Auraspeed 90s is shut, however nonetheless does not have that equal really feel. In actual fact, I believe lots of people can agree, Bravesword has among the finest, distinctive feels, and no trendy racket line from any of the foremost firms have but to copy it, together with Victor. Not less than within the instances of different classics like Armortec 700, or different boxframe traditional rackets, I’ve discovered appropriate trendy replacements that may assist me overlook about them. Within the bravesword’s case, it is so distinctive and I really feel like they’d an ideal formulation, I simply need them to maintain making it. Hopefully a barely stiffer model as a result of I heard quite a few stories that the industrial one could be a bit tender for arduous hitters.
And let’s be sincere, most classics are discontinued as a result of majority of the favored classics had been made by yonex, they usually haven’t any issues discontinuing well-liked rackets as a result of their dominance out there means they’ll promote the newer ones simply as effectively. Within the case of Victor or just about another badminton producer, this isn’t the case. In actual fact, if Yonex solely owned a small portion of the market and their greatest vendor (by far and away) was, as an instance the Ti10 for instance, it could be actually silly for them to have ever discontinued it.
If victor does not wish to make new braesword 13 or no matter it is fantastic by me, it is fantastic that they need alternative traces with auraspeed or jetspeed. However at the very least maintain the legacy of BS 12 going by including a particular version BS 12 or one thing.
