4u, I've had it in my hands. What a lovely racquet. Waiting a few weeks to get mine is going to make me sad.
I was talking to mark about it as we share racquet and tension preferences. He was worried that it wouldn't take his 32lb, based on him stringing a load this week he's buying a few.
I think it's the same racket as the one which he used @YGO. [MENTION=11783]Mark A[/MENTION] Please tell me that you strung it and know which new racket will coming next.
Same here mate, nice shirt btw I enjoyed watching you and Paul hammer your way through those racquets.
Victor only manufacture 3U JS10's for international players. The balance on these rackets is even even whereby 4U is definitely taller. however the head is the same on both so the only difference must come from weighting in the handle. That blue racket, used by Lee Sheng Mu was strung by me. It has a smaller head and the same stringing pattern as JS10 and Hypernano 800. I strung them at 32/33 Paul www.badminton-coach.co.uk
My take on it is that the smaller frame is smaller mostly at the bottom from 4-8 o'clock. This is where around 2-3g is shaven, but still the top is heavy. So that's how a 4U racket like JS10 can swing and hit as heavy as a 3U racket with almost similar bp.
3U would also be my comfort zone. A 4U with a heavy head was never my choice. I can't understand that tons of people would buy a 5U. These custum made extra sausages for the pros disturbs me since the KRP versions.
