Do we have any consensus about which colour(s) VS850 are the best? I usually just go white these days, but since I got my MX80 the white strings STILL haven't bedded in and they move all over the place - and I've had it for 6 weeks. Not a particularly low tension either at 25lbs.
In my opinion, i really liked the feel of the Black VS850, the texture of it is more rough than the white one, which for me is better. The blue one as well seems to be rough, although i havent tried it yet, the yellow/lime one seems to be in between the white one and black one in terms of texture. For me: 1. Blue=Black 2. Yellow 3. White Although i dont like using white strings, i prefer having some colour, although i do believe there are slight differences in playability.
I'm currently using a BS09 and feel like trying out a new victor racket. Do you think if i like the BS09 the BS12 will be a good choice for me?
I think so, bs09 and bs12 having more or less the same stiffness, perhaps its an upgrade for bs09. But i think bs12 is faster than bs09, it feels lighter.
I just got the same story last nite, a friend of mine broke his 26lbs VS850 in less than 1 week. Fortunately mine is so far OK, although I must admit so far Im not a big fan of Victor string as yet.
I had it more than 2 months and it still moves all over, all in the clubs have the same prob. Most of Victor rackets at my club is strung by the same stringer, and it seems that he strung them at 26lbs so I can say that its not because its have not bedded yet but the surface is too slippery and required a higher tension.
anyone know what is the optimum string and tension for bs11? Because i am using bg66um@24lbs after 2 2hrs sessions, i felt like the tension is not high enough, my smashes doesnt get thru very well, maybe i am still suiting the racket, or is the tension too low? Should i try vs850 at 26lbs?
I strung all my rackets at 28 lbs and most of them using VS850 SW35, SW37, MX80, BS10 and SPR22 and maybe SW36, SW10 and MX70 when I got them in my hand
i bought a victor badminton bag online. seller told me its a thermo bag. when i receive the bag the internal seems like normal padded. i thought all thermo bag comes with silver/chrome internal? can someone clarify?
jump-smash, i think of to buy SW36. what do u think for its comparable to MX80/BS10? p/s: have u been to IOSS'11?? i was there on 22/23 juni...can't online with u bcos the sultan dun provide free wi-fi....dem.
Hi ben3003, IMO there is no as such thing as optimum tension that suit all of us. If you read on this topic here on BC you can find that the relation between string tension with player strength/level as well as string type is far more crucial compare to the relation between the string tension with the racket. The best way to find your optimum tension is unfortunately by trial and error. I also can mention that this optimum tension can change overtime as you get better or worse or simply you have change preference. I hope this helps, cheers!!
As far as I know there is no proper thermal bag (one with silver padded) that come in a single racket bag size. But honestly, I dont know if the normal padded bag is also called thermal bag, maybe they do.
I won't recommend we put the racket inside the car or bootnet under the hot sun even though with thermo bag. I have a thermo bag, but I can felt the rackets are warm after 8 hours put inside my car bootnet under the hot sun. So I decide not to put inside my car for long hours even though with the thermo bag (silver and chrome material).
sw36 is positioned between the gap of sw35 and sw37 yes I went to Indo Open last Thursday (23rd June 2011) you should have send me a message few days earlier so that we could arrange a meeting maybe next year we could do that
The pre-order one will be the MX70 (which everyone knows about), and then the new range as replacement for the Spira range. Then of course MX90 is on the card. My mate will fly to Taiwan this weekend to find out more about it, my feeling they will push one or two models before Christmas.
