    Technically any decent stringer will do them for you free of charge unless you want to replace the whole lot. I do it myself because I play high tensions so even if the grommet looks good it's in reality just pretty busted.

    I think they're pretty easy to get.

    Noticed MBS stocked up again on the Brave Sword 12 2U players batch or have they always been there...Just going by the name I assume that these are KRP rackets and the same that LYD uses? thanks

    Hi RVSTrike13, I purchased one from them 5 months or so ago. They are Hong Kong Player rackets. Still a good racket, but I find it a bit hard to defend with. I mostly use it for warm ups now.

    I believe you get to choose... I ordered mine without strings. I tend not to trust stringing overseas, I am probably just paranoid.

    I have just bought the BS12 Blue. Previously I am using mid range rackets and I found the BS12 is so easy to use, especially manoeuvre, speed and power. I can feel the shuttle go further with this racket. I string it with BG66 Power at 26 lbs. Although it is more pricey than Yonex considering this is not a new model but I am very satisfied with it.

    Hello!

    Today, i was able to buy used bs12, but the balance point was one dot closer to the HH not betwen, and stifnes dot was to end of the S, so very stiff. The mark was same, somthing TWH...

    I did't see such caracteristic for the BS12? What about that?

    Thx!

    Read his description of the balance marking indicator. A normal one doesn't sound anything like that description does it mate?

    Also the fact that a TW coded is pasted with a RRP in China RMB. The markets do not match up. And nowadays there aren't many G2's around new, all the reprint are G5.

    Looks like the fake racket's engraving come with blotchy ink whereas original one is more uniform, not as white and finer in size
