    Hi all,

    I've just recently broken 3 of my beloved BS12s and looking for a few replacements.

    Preferably a even balance to slightly head heavy with medium to very stiff.

    Play mostly doubles, but occasionally singles. Need a quick and decisive racket from front of the court that will help intercept and blocks.

    Can be from any brand, but would like to stick with either Victor or Yonex.


    Thanks

    I don't know much but Yonex Arc Saber 11 and Nanoray 800 may be a good possibility, try them out if any one in your place willing to borrow :D
    ---
    The Arc Saber is pretty much stiff and just slightly head heavy while Nanoray 800 is considered a head light, stiff racket :p

    Good rally,

    Shenvi :p

    Arc 11 and Nanoray 800 is in my consideration. Hopefully can try these out soon.

    Volt 70 might be a bit too heavy for me, but haven't tried it so I'm not too sure.


    Thanks for your inputs

    Haven't tried that either. But sounds like a demanding racket

    Those were the ones I broke. Broke 3 of them already in a space of 2 weeks.

    Another option is to go for N80, not very heavy , balance point 290-298!

    N80 sounds about right. Same with MX90.

    Will try the MX90 soon.

    Any insights on TK9000?

    how about bs lyd, its made for double and the specs are just what you are looking for. I own one bs lyd had some clashes with other rackets and it still is alive. I really love this racket, but the problem is when I get tired I cant smash hard enough. Hopefully you have better stamina then I do. hope this helps

    arc 10/11 would be a great start, been using them for awhile and they are great ! shaft is considerably stiff also.
