    RM499 can get BS10 or BS11. I tested BS10....well worth the extra 100 bucks. I am considering buyin BS10 or BS11 next. Well I got 3 racquets now....so have to wait till one of these breaks.

    But i need the flexible racket as my wrist and arm is not strong due to injury, so i think BS 09 is suitable...don't u think???

    I'd personally prefer a stiffer one. Found the BS09 a bit too flexible for my game. I miss being able to just use the wrist and do a whipping motion with the racquet for an awesome smash. Takes people off guard cause it doesn't look at all like a full body proper smash. I found I am able to do it really well with the NS9900 and Ti10 but not with BS09. I think mainly it's due to the flexible shaft.

    Its too expensive. The price i stated is included string,grip,bag :D
    490 can get bs10/bs11 with string,grip,bag :D

    In AJ, u can choose to get a blank racket(no string/bag/grip), with cheaper price :D

    yes I am. I know that it is even balanced but not sure how stiff it is I was just looking for a comparison really to a yonex racket what it is most like in terms of stiffness and BP

    I have Ti10, NS9900 and used to have an ArcZ.
    BS09 is way way more flexible compared to all these 3.
    It's quite balanced or slanting towards head light. And overall the weight feels sort of like the ArcZ. But still more flexible than ArcZ.
    It's not really good if your games consists mainly of short wrist flicks/movements. For me, after using BS09, i can't seem to do these moves which I normally do with ease on the NS9900 and Ti10.
    Just like the ArcZ, you are forced to do more full body smashes in order to get the power. But when you do it right, it seems more powerful.

    Conclusion: Takes some getting used to if you come from YY background and stiff racquets. Different but not in a bad way. But I would think an easier transition is to the BS10 or BS11 which are stiffer.

    Maybe you can compare it to Arc 7? That is what i think it is. I could be wrong

    LD Rules, I only just ordered, actually didn't receive it yet. The specs of the racket is 3u (85g+?) and is towards head heavy, I don't know why people are saying it's balanced, I guess because it's light and aerodynamic?

    Will receive in about a week:crying: but oh I can't wait :D.
