    I just got my BS12 as well when I visited Singapore last week...can't wait to try it today!! :)

    I hope it doesn't disappoint me. So far I'm loving my BS09 and BS11.

    Haha!

    If I buy another racket soon, it will probably just be another BS12 ;)

    The 12 does not disappoint.

    Kwun,

    do you have any comparison reviews for the Trinity2 and BS12? I'm currently using T2 and thinking of getting BS12 after reading Maklike and your reviews on it.

    Thanks in advance.

    I might email Victor and see if they'll give me a sales commission.

    What are my chances? ;)

    I want to just echo on kwun review, everything written was spot on apart from I still prefer the 10 over 12.

    Just picked up a SW37 from the local store to try it out after getting a MX80... I did notice something about the SW37 and BS12, they both don't have the BKA stamp on it while the older BS and SW35, 36's have it as well as the MX80... I wonder if it's because they're both made in China as opposed to made in Taiwan... Just an interesting tidbit.... :cool:

    All my TW coded Victors don't have the BKA logo, but my CNC coded BS11 does. Go figure.

    For the BS12, are there any different in term of power and speed between 3U and 4U?

    My go to racket is NS9900 and play double only. Sometime I feel it lacks a little power for smashing from the back, but for the net and drive it's awesome.

    Do you think that the BS12 will give extra meat for smashing from the back comparing to NS9900? I can smash good with AT900P, but I sacrifice the speed which is more important for me specially for fast pace double games.

    If you like the stiffness of the NS9900, then I'd probably recommend the BS10.

    The BS12 isn't as stiff as the BS10.

    yes, i also prefer BS10 over BS12 after last night session...even it is balance, but i dunno why i felt that BS12 was not gave me the 'power' that i need. maybe i used to play with stiffer rackets i.e VT80, BS10 or because of still in break-in period. :)
